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.

But it wasn't a problem before Harper, so what changed?
And I'd still argue, that if your focusing on the brand part of the argument or not, it's still a false equivalency. These scientists were working within the bounds of their job, indeed what they were actually hired for. The bus driver was not hired for his viewpoints on gay marriage. He was hired to drive a bus.
