Stephen Harper Muzzles Scientists
A page 14 story in today’s Montreal Gazette reports that:
Environment Canada has “muzzled” its scientists, ordering them to refer all media queries to Ottawa where communications officers will help them respond with “approved lines.”
‘Cause shutting up our scientists will solve the planet’s global warming crisis right? <sound of me gagging> More:
Climatologist Andrew Weaver, of the University of Victoria, works closely with several Environment Canada scientists. He says the policy points to the Conservative government’s fixation with “micromanagement” and message control.
“They’ve been muzzled,” says Weaver of the federal researchers. “The concept of free speech is non-existent at Environment Canada. They are manufacturing the message of science.”
The Gazette buries the story across from a full-page car ad (see below) but at least they’re reporting it.
There are rumblings of an upcoming federal election in Canada. Let’s send those stone-age Tories a lesson by stripping them back to post-Kim Campbell strength. This shit has got to stop. Science is not the enemy of Canada.
