Talk:Natural Resources Canada

Untitled
Perhaps we could include a section about how the current prime minister Steven Harper has gutted the environmental sector so badly that it can barely function and accurately conduct environmental assessments?

2010 - Harper government's new policy requires own scientists and academics to get minister’s “pre-approval” — For example, a Natural Resources Canada scientists had to wait so long for clearance that his media conference had to be postponed for a week.

2007 Harper government fires head of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission — Linda Keen, then head of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, accused Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn of interfering with the Commission’s decision-making. Keen was then promptly fired, hours before before she and Lunn were to appear before a Parliamentary committee

2006 - Harper’s Environment Minister forbids a departmental scientist from giving a reading from his fictional book about global warming – the reason: then-Minister of Natural Resources Gary Lunn was in the middle of dismantling government programs as part of an anti-Kyoto Protocol stance — the fear was that the reading might be perceived as contrary to the government’s own position

 * Hello there - I would love to help you out however the link (source) you have provided is a blog type page.  (I do believe it all true however....) It is what we call a Self-published source and is not reliable. It also does not look like a  neutral point of view on the matter - meaning it looks very one-sided (bias).. I believe all that is said there can be sourced (as the page claims). But how many things are being left out to get us were the author wants.Moxy (talk) 05:48, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

It seems to me that the NRCan logo shown is probably not the correct logo. The English version reads "National Resources Canada" instead of "Natural Resources Canada". I looked on the NRCan website but can't find an official logo available for use. 134.117.72.46 (talk) 13:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
