What does 'woke' mean when politicians use the word? What does it mean to the average voter? A new poll offers some intriguing observations about the haziest word in the modern political lexicon.
More common sense, less woke nonsense. Let’s #BringItHome pic.twitter.com/Rrm1hzcjCSIn his remarks at the Liberal convention, Trudeau mentioned a few examples of policies and actions that he seemed to think Poilievre might find too woke: a gender-balanced cabinet, reducing poverty, expanding access to affordable child care.
It's possible Poilievre was trying to suggest these examples somehow showed hypocrisy on Trudeau's part. It's fair to say the legendary blues singer Lead Belly probably didn't have any of those things in mind when he told Black Americans to "stay woke" in 1938. Among Conservative voters, the split is even more stark — just five per cent say woke is good, while 57 per cent say it's bad. Bloc Quebecois voters feel similarly, with seven per cent saying good and 50 per cent saying bad.
But while many Canadians understand woke to be a bad thing, they maintain a positive view of other words associated with social justice causes. According to Pollara, "Black Lives Matter" had a net good/bad rating of plus-35, while pride flags were plus-34. Feminism, #MeToo, allyship and affirmative action were plus-30, plus-28, plus-26 and plus-21, respectively.
