We have come out of a dark age in government science. The gag orders, the cutting and promoting "business science" has been a long list of a frankly scary approach by the previous government. A Republican approach if you will on science, silence, unfund, promote business people in science positions...
Of all the things people criticize the PC government for, the crap that has happened against science policy in Canada and the environment is so damning even Nature covered it, which is not exactly a partisan magazine.
