Conservative Member of Parliament and Conservative Government

signed petition: Hiring a recent Conservative member of parliament as a representative of a community-oriented university is an awful, awful idea, according to Rabble. As the symbolic head of the institution, we have to be careful of what our chancellor symbolizes. I am not unlike the 1,500 people who have already signed the petition calling for his removal. To keep it brief, here are 10 reasons why he should not represent our university: 1. The Conservative government was well-documented in their muzzling of scientists, which is concerning for a university that participates in scientific research and employs scientists. 2. James Moore personally voted against the free exchange of scientific ideas, and for the closure of the Experimental Lakes Area Research Facility. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
