Abstract: The article discusses the sanctions of scientists to speak freely abut their works by the Liberal government of Canada. It notes the 2013 survey of trade union Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) which reported the highest rates of interference by management with manuscripts and conference presentations among members of government department Health Canada. It also notes the call of PIPSC and Evidence for Democracy for a legacy of draconian communication policies.
