Canadian scientists are fighting back over the Harper government's media control of their work.They apparently have set up a website but when I tried to access it, I couldn't connect. Has Herr Harper shut it down already?
The union that represents federal government scientists has created a website – PublicScience.ca – to give a voice to the work of its members.Sounds like his work, though I will try later.
The move comes weeks after it was revealed that new restrictive rules have been placed on scientists at the Natural Resources department requiring them to clear a number of hoops, including approval from the minister’s director of communications, before they may speak with the press about their work.
I hope you can get into there, Emily. Horrible to think he could have had it shut down. A dictator, NOT what Canadians are used to having in Ottawa.

I tried the old link and the new one, Emily, but couldn't get either one to open.
ReplyDeleteI got a link that worked. It's a great site.
ReplyDeleteIt's hit and miss for me too. I don't know what's going on.
