Title: Censorship of scientists by the Government of Canada

or possibly more recognizable but

Title: Muzzling of scientists by the Government of Canada

Since the media usually referred to it as "muzzling", it makes sense to include that in the title. But if this is going to be an article just about the Harper scandal it should maybe have a more specific title like "Science Muzzling Scandal" or something like that...

The censorship or "muzzling" of scientists employed by the Government of Canada arose as a political scandal in 2008.

History
Canada's 22nd Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, prior to becoming Prime Minister, stated "Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society … It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff."
