Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and Political Choice

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Without it, political choice is a farce, according to Huffington Post Canada. You can have all the elections you want and they will mean nothing without the secure right to express, share information and advocate for your views. Free expression is democracy. But the boundaries of these rights of citizenship are always vulnerable, and right now, political, technological and commercial forces are converging into a chilling anti-freedom force. It was a shock back in 2008 when Linda Keen, then president of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, was fired for publicly disclosing safety concerns and refusing to restart the Chalk River nuclear reactor. Canada federal government has been no friend of the right to know since Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
