Here it comes, #Canada: "Pierre Poilievre has pledged to 'end the imposition of woke ideology in the allocation of federal funds for university research' should his party win the Canadian federal election on 28 April."

Poilievre's pledge is a Ready-Made election ad:
"Poilievre is out to ban '#Woke Ideology'. Do #Canadians want a leader who is MORE or LESS like Donald T****?" 🤔
RE: “I think this is the first time a politician in Canada has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control research topics,” says Madeleine Pastinelli, president of the university professors’ union in the province of Quebec. “It could be a very terrible time for us.”
Wow, so I guess Danielle Smith's actions in Alberta have not reached the rest of the nation yet.
She came out in public and said that the scientific results of unbiased research does not produce enough "views" (as if scientific results are just an "opinion") which align with her Conservative ideology, so the Alberta government will step in to prevent Universities from receiving Federal funding on subjects which she finds to be "problematic", and could produce results which don't align with Conservative views.
I don't know how people can be unaware of this absolute travesty of authoritarian anti-science overreach.
I only wish she were right, that this dystopian nightmare was not so real.
Anyone who has looked at the political agenda of Pierre Poilievre knows that he’s the Trump of the North.
...but the lying little weasel said on television that he wasn't like Trump. The lying little weasel can't be a lying little psycho too, can he?
