In Canadian election, top candidate vows to end ’ ideology’ in science funding | Science | AAAS science.org/content/article/ca “The vow—which echoes rhetoric used by U.S. President Donald ’s administration to justify canceling research grants and shutting down government programs—has alarmed many researchers. “I think this is the first time a politician in Canada has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control topics,”

@auscandoc The headline is imprecise. He's not a "top conservative candidate". He's the guy who will become our Prime Minister if his party gets enough seats. This is terrifying.

@auscandoc maybe the first time they’ve interfered in this specific way, but his predecessor (Harper) famously muzzled scientists during his tenure as PM.

The Conservative Party in Canada has a long tradition of being cretins.

@auscandoc 😡 🤡 We need to end the conservatives for good!

@auscandoc Sttephen Harper tried it first
