Canadas so-called War on Science has made international headlines, especially after deep funding cuts led to the closure of some of Canadas most important research centres. Thousands of federal scientists from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans as well as Environment Canada have lost their jobs as a result of the cuts. Since 2006 the Harper government has introduced strict communications procedures that prevent scientists from speaking freely about -- and at times even publishing -- their research. Federal scientists are required to gain upper-level bureaucratic approval before they speak with journalists about their work, leading the international scientific community to call for the unmuzzling of Canadas scientists. huffingtonpost.ca/carol-linnitt/war-on-science-canada_b_5775054.html
