Science Shapes Our Daily Lives—Let’s Make It a Priority This Election evidencefordemocracy.ca/vote-science/

Students, make sure your voice is heard this election. Elections Canada has resources for students including information on student voting: how to vote early, what to do if you are living away from home, voting on campus, and more. elections.ca/content2.aspx?…

E4D has done the work. Check out the Party Platform Analysis: docs.google.com/document/d/1aY… @E4Dca #VoteScience

Together we turned the tide on two decades of stagnant scholarship values! We had a big win with the investments in Budget 2024 because we made our voice heard. Let’s keep that energy up! #VoteScience evidencefordemocracy.ca/vote-science/

The Federal Election is just around the corner and what do you know? Thanks to the “Vote on Campus” program you can vote right at school. Whether you’re at uOttawa or Carleton, between April 13 and 16 you can vote for a candidate in your home riding without even leaving campus

This is unacceptable. Researchers must be protected and supported. They must be free to explore, collaborate, challenge thinking of the day, and present inconvenient truths. Academic freedom is sacrosanct.   caut.ca/latest/2025/03…
