screen grab that reads in part, "Pierre Poilievre says he’ll end ‘woke ideology’ — he isn’t saying what that means The Conservative leader doesn’t seem keen to define the term. April 22, 2025 4 min read Save Gift this article (12) Pierre Poilievre says he'll end 'woke ideology' — he isn't saying what that means Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre speaks at an event for the Canadian Association of Retired Persons at Zoomer Media in Toronto on Monday, April 21, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Laura Proctor LGP By Sarah Ritchie The Canadian Press OTTAWA - Pierre Poilievre is vowing to eliminate “woke ideology” from the public service, federal funding for university research and military culture. But what does he mean by “woke,” exactly? The Conservative leader doesn’t seem keen to define the term. When asked recently to explain what he considers “woke,” Poilievre gave a nearly two-minute answer that touched on most of his campaign talking points. “Very simply, after a lost Liberal decade of dividing Canadians, turning people against each other and weakening our Armed Forces, we need to put Canada first,” he said, pointing to what he called the Liberals’ “woke criminal justice agenda” and “woke agenda on spending.” Poilievre has threatened to pull back federal funding from universities over their alleged ideological slant. On March 26, when the party released its Quebec platform, he said a Conservative government would “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research.” The Canadian Association of University Teachers has said it’s alarmed by the suggestion of political interference in a well-established independent process for allocating federal grants through peer review."
In which the #CPC leader won't acknowledge the dog whistle he's blowing.

Reading Carol Off's #AtaLossForWords in my effort to make sense of the chaos. An eye opener indeed. Simultaneously engaging and enraging, I can only process 25 - 30 pages at a time.

I finally found my way back to @caroloff.bsky.social’s #AtALossForWords
This quote from the epilogue is incredibly prescient and bearing true in these 1st weeks:
“Donald Trump is just the wrecking ball. Viktor Orban or, worse, Vladimir Putin, is what follows.” (1/2)

I'm about half way through this book - worth the read. Available in audio. Explains a lot about where we are today, within the context of Democracy. #atalossforwords #domocracy #timeisnow

It's great to be on this #bluesky app.
I picked up this book signed by author #CarolOff last night at the Rideau Centre in #Ottawa. Bluesky is not included in the index but that other site is.
Looking forward to digging in to #AtALossForWords!
