Who's Afraid of Mark Tushingham?

At first read, it seems absurd. On a second read it's seems like a great marketing gimmick. From G&M:

"Environment Minister Rona Ambrose has stopped an Environment Canada scientist from speaking publicly about his own novel."

It's a science fiction novel after all, isn't it? Personally, I don't believe it's a freedom of speech issue but rather freedom of stupidity. Get his book, Hotter Than Hell, here if you want.

Woah, for a moment there I thought it was William Henry Drummond who came back from the dead to post on my weblog. Thanks for the comment... I think. Laughing is good.

The only reason, far as I can tell, is that I was one of the only posts that put the author's name in the blog post, thus drawing attention to google indexing. There's a better discussion of the politcal issue here, for example:
