My opinion is that it was an unsaid policy previously, and wasn't abused often. The Harper government put the policy to paper, and people that hated him used it as ammunition to hate on him.
In my opinion, nothing changed, like you insinuate. Scientists that went to the press pre-Harper were probably given the same angry chats behind closed doors. But once it became written policy, it became very easy to attack.
Pure conjecture. Pushing my personal ideology - which is "Every single person, including Steven Harper, is a good person at heart and works with the best intentions in mind."
