This is an article about the conservative government's attempts to order scientists, under the employ of the federal government, to get get permission to discuss their findings with the press. It's really about those scientists staring up their own website to communicate their findings. This is one of the shortcomings of this article, I had to figure out that it was referring to government employed scientists by reading a linked article at PublicScience.ca .
There are then quotes by some of the members about how they enjoy envisioning government officials going apoplectic at the news. This is a good thought for me. I used to have disputes with my father. Although I used to be embarrassed by the entire incidents, I quite enjoyed seeing go apoplectic when I took a position or took an action that there was absolutely nothing he could do about.
The article closes by encouraging the authors neighbors (sic) to the north to follow those links. this is another shortcoming of the article. If they were truly behind us they would have spelled that as neighbours.
One of the reader comments states that the Canadian Minister of Science and Technology is a chiropractor who is a global warming denier and evolution denier while the head of the US Department of Energy is Nobel Prize-winning physician who co-heads the science advisory panel.
