Poilievre pulling a Trump & Musk & making clear he will cut funding to anything he considers “woke” in federal public service & university research - like anything to do with climate science.
As Danielle Smith made clear, Poilievre is “in sync” with Trump. We can never let him win. #TeamCarney

The thing is they’ve diluted that word that originated in the 1930s from African Americans being aware of social injustices and stuff into whatever they don’t like.
What they’ve done is include things like “corporate pandering”. Most of us don’t like corporate pandering however it crosses into “representation” and stuff too so it really gets blurred. Like, are those gay people in this Netflix series put in there just to pull in a certain crowd? Here’s the thing, they’re treating “corporate pandering” like it’s the end of the world. Go through any YouTube video on gaming and they’ll be talking about whatever “woke” game is next non-stop. Sensible people will be like – “I’m just not gonna buy it” or treat it as not a big deal.
Then they’ve rolled in ANYTHING left leaning. A women standing in the corner? Woke. A minority in a higher-up corporate position? Woke.
The threat of fascism and people losing their rights and the super-rich taking over the world and climate change and all this other shit is what matters. Woke is just a way to scare a certain large demographic into voting against their own interests.
