Have any Canadian universities condemned Pierre’s promise to “cancel woke university research?”

Seems like they should be raising alarms given what’s going on in the states.

Probably didn’t hear about it

@cbcnews-rss.bsky.social and @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social

Is there a story there 👆🏻?

I blocked that guy from all of my social media a long time ago. He is an irrelevant blowhard smarmy twit.

PeePee has a shelf life of about 36 days so what he says means nothing. He has no power and he never will.

Gutting federal caribou guidelines seems particularly bad— interesting he released that in French.

I hope you’re correct!

Yeah he's a complete nutbar and would be just as catastrophic if he ever got any actual power as trump is now. I am grateful every day he will never have any power and will fade into obscurity.

This time next year no one will even remember PeePee.

Possibly of interest @seantucker.bsky.social @ianmosby.bsky.social @niiyokamigaabaw.bsky.social @emilyeaton.bsky.social @ryankbrook.bsky.social @simonenoch.bsky.social

Curious if this promise got any backlash from quebec unis… do you know, @nolore.bsky.social?

Seems like interfering in federal research granting wouldn’t go over great.

First I've seen it and here's the JdQ's write up of his trip here --- no mention of it: https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2025/03/26/en-mode-seduction-au-quebec-pierre-poilievre-promet-de-proteger-la-langue-francaise

Bah.

Since there is no such thing as "woke ideology," it is hard to take this seriously.

polisquirrel.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’d take it very seriously cause he’ll mean that to stop research he dislikes— likely anything related to, climate change, human rights, gender, lgbtq people, history, colonialism…

Same with Poilievre's promise of deportation
of temporary residents involved in hate crimes inspired by antisemitism and “woke ideologies”. This is the Trump policy being pursued in the US and #cdnmedia never draw parallels.

I can name three universities I've worked at that would cancel programs within 24 hours of the election. Administration is very conservative.
