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.

That's my exact point though. He was fired because he represented himself as a CT employee and CT brand.
I'm saying that someone could do the same thing could happen with scientists. By allowing free access to media, it's very easy for a Canadian scientist, representing the Government of Canada, to release a report denying that climate change exists, which would be exceptionally damaging to our brand worldwide.
