Canadian scientists say rallies in support of American counterparts feel like deja vu
It was something like a flashback for Canadian scientists who gathered across the country Saturday to rally in support of their American counterparts, who say they’re facing mounting attacks against science.
Science advocate Katie Gibbs said she felt like she was returning a favour. Nearly five years ago, she was in the same place, doing almost the same thing.
In July 2012, she helped organize the “Death of Evidence” rally, protesting cuts to science programs under the former Harper government.
That march paved the way for the advocacy organization that she now heads up, Evidence for Democracy.
