ANGUS: Canada's Century Has Begun

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - December 15, 2025 - VIDEO

QUOTE: "Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people as well." —Heinrich Heine, 1820

EXCERPT: "In Canada , we have our own MAGA-like politicians who would undermine education and research. One has only to look at the abysmal track record of Doug Ford, Danielle Smith and Premier Moe. Not to mention the Poilievre Conservatives who have attempted to turn universities into political punching bags with claims that the schools are “woke” or anti-free speech.

Fortunately, the federal government of Canada seems determined to make Canada a destination of choice for science and academic research. They are establishing 100 new Impact+ Research Chairs positions with a focus on advanced digital technologies, clean tech and resource value chains, environment, climate resilience, the Arctic, health, food and water security, democratic and community resilience, manufacturing, defence and dual-use technologies.

These investments will benefit institutions across this country. Unlike the United States, with its small cluster of elite Ivy League institutions, Canadian universities are more open and accessible, and the expertise being recruited would be at home in institutions across this great land.

The world is watching Canada at this time. Our determined resistance to the Trump bullying has given other nations hope. Researchers and academics will be flooding our universities with requests to be part of this new era in research and democracy.

We may be in very dark times but I am hopeful that the Canadian century has begun."
