Abstract

The article discusses Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada's Conservative Party, vowing to end 'woke ideology' in science funding if his party wins the upcoming federal election. This pledge has raised concerns among researchers and advocates for science, who fear ideological interference in research topics. A nonpartisan campaign called Vote Science has been launched to prioritize science, research, and evidence-based decision-making in the election, with efforts to engage candidates on science issues. The Conservative Party, initially leading in polls, is now facing competition from the Liberal Party, with discussions on how Canada should respond to Trump's policies shaping the election.
