Trust in science and in universities in Canada is relatively high. It's higher here than it is in the United States, so that's good. There is a difference between how much it's trusted by liberals and conservatives, with conservatives trusting it about 20 percentage points lower than liberals.
In the United States, we've seen it decline for both groups, but more sharply for conservatives. I think the United States represents a cautionary tale for the direction that things could go if both external and internal politicization factors are present.
