Dr. Katie Gibbs is a scientist and one of the founders of the national non-profit Evidence for Democracy a group dedicated to “the transparent use of evidence in government decision-making in Canada.”
Evidence for Democracy - or E4D as they call themselves - is a movement that began in 2012 while Stephen Harper was still Canada’s Prime Minister, and leading a government that was well known for ignoring evidence, muzzling government scientists and burying their research.
On today’s episode, Katie joins us to talk about:
The strategies her group used to get evidence on the agenda during the last government How they’ve had to change their approach since Justin Trudeau took office, and whether evidence and democracy are even compatible
