B.C. Scientist Reinstated By Ottawa After Phrase Flap

Posted on Wednesday, September 20 at 12:19 by drcaleb
Okulitch fired off an e-mail, which he described Tuesday as "less than diplomatic," indicating that he would not do so. In his angry missive, he called the policy "ridiculous," and an example of idiotic buzzwords coined by political hacks. He was subsequently informed that he was no longer part of the scientist emeritus program and told to clear out his office for refusing to follow a ministerial order. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/09/19/scientist-flap.html?ref=rss

    He was lightly much more diplomatic than I would have been, I would have told them to stick it where the sun don't shine. Since when to we have to change the form of address to the GOVERNMENT OF CANADA every time a new regiem moves in for a few months?

    "That e-mail never should have been sent out," said Lunn. "I don’t know who sent it out, so obviously there was a mistake there.""

    What does he mean he doesn't know who sent it out? That should be right on the email shouldn't it? Also it had to be someone with enough authority to fire the guy!! This is just unefinbelievable.
