This is why we have to be very careful in believing what some scientist are saying about many issues, including FF's. Macleans.

"With the muzzling of scientists, Harper’s obsession with controlling the message verges on the Orwellian"

Maybe this is where the feedlot industry is taking their lead and muzzling folks like Dr Marty...
