Canada’s democracy thrives when everyone has a voice. We’re partnering with Vote16 to advocate for extending the voting age so young Canadians can engage in the democratic process.

There is no evidence to support that federal research funding is being unfairly allocated to "woke" or "leftist" research.
If anything, as @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I found, research on structural inequality is underfunded.

“Because conflict is often justified through historical narratives, and because cultural heritage is tied to identity and homeland, stories around cultural heritage may be purposed to either legitimate or exploit geopolitical aims.” —Mischa Geracoulis, human rights journalist
Framing Heritage Destruction as a Human Rights Violation
The way in which assaults on cultural and religious sites are presented to the public is critical to linking these attacks to atrocity crimes, a new book argues.

Great leadership from the UK. We need to solve for democratic resilience earlier in the cycle, and research shows this is a winning path. C’est le moment pour le Canada de se joindre à cette évolution qui renforcera notre sécurité et notre bien-être! On y va #Vote16Canada 🇨🇦
Genuinely fantastic news, correcting the odd imbalance whereby Scottish (and Welsh) 16 and 17 year olds could vote in some but not all elections, and had a say over things like education, healthcare and income taxation, whilst their English counterparts did not.
