Environment Canada scientists told to toe the line

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."

The new policy, which went into force in recent weeks and sent a chill through the department research divisions, is designed to control the department's media message and ensure there are no "surprises" for Environment Minister John Baird and senior management when they open the newspaper or turn on the television, according to documents obtained by Canwest News Service.

2. This is kinda old but don't worry
We do elections very, very differently here: There is a good chance that Harper's government will be out of power before the Dem convention.
