Fixing Harper - Part 3 - The Freeing of Science

One of the most insidious of Harper's attacks on information was how scientists were muzzled.  The story is well explained here, in this article from the Globe and Mail.


Other academic publications, such as this one also weighed in during recent years, providing a well-referenced expose of how science was treated under the Harper regime.

The new government has lost no time in starting to reverse this, as announced recently by the new Prime Minister.



Of course, there could be some down-sides to this, as explained by The Beaverton.... Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for.
