But sure, let's use the word muzzle, rather than standard operating procedure.
People totally were on board when they fired the Calgary Transit anti-gay pride driver for speaking out. But I guess scientists are okay? What if there is an pro-creationism scientist that says something like "the government of canada has found that evolution is questionable"?
Those that over-emphasize standard procedure and make them all scary sounding (like MUZZLING), aren't any better than the jihad terrorist going to kill us all types.

Are you seriously using this for your argument? The two are completely different. Highly educated people working within the bounds of their job to share information and improve our world, vs an ignorant uneducated person using his job as a soapbox for his personal views.
And for the last time, he wasn't fired for voicing his views anyway. That's what he said, that's not what happened. He was fired for lying, and for advertising the CT brand with nazi imagery on his Facebook page. Had he simply voiced his view, he'd probably still have his job, but he purposely used his position to promote his values while dragging his employer into the mud. No employer would allow you to do that.
