Canadian scientist Steve Campana quits over government muzzling – May 20, 2015
He spent decades as a government scientist until the last 24 hours, when he quit. Steven Campana says his research for the Department of Fisheries wasn’t even controversial but in the last few years, he’s been muzzled by the federal government.
