Why you resist
All changes
To stop or lower

With new regulations.

Our leading trading partner
Doesn't have them".

How do you justify
The lost opportunities

Author's note: Until October, 2015, the Conservative Party of Canada, governed Canada, for a decade, by imposing their political and philosophical views. While, creating a culture of fear, among federal scientists, by firing or muzzling their ability, to share their findings, with the international community. Forcing them, to get their supervisor's approval, to attend any international conference, where their work is being shared, whether or not, it's good news, for their speciality area.
Am hoping, the new governing Liberal party, will loosen all restrictions on Canadian scientists, thus allowing, a true exchange of information, between all countries. For already, there have been calls, to tighten the reins, over the federal scientists. A disaster move, if the Liberals hope to show, they're different, from the top down managerial style, of the Conservatives.
