Maternal Health Summit: Harper's Office Criticized For Restricting Journalists
The Prime Minister's Office is facing criticism for restricting journalists from covering certain aspects of an international maternal health summit in Toronto.
Maclean's science reporter Kate Lunau wrote Wednesday that, at the launch of the three-day conference, reporters were banned from attending sessions about immunization and nutrition.
Lunau said journalists also learned they could not attend the next day's sessions on newborn and maternal health.
On Thursday, reporters were told they could not attend a speech by Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization.

With the CBC no longer the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and slowly becoming the Harper News Network we can expect more banning of media coverage by the Harper government in the hope of stopping criticism of his corrupt and destructive policies.
Canada's political secrecy is much like today's China. Government surveillance of the internet, social media and our email messages combined with the censorship of the mainstream media is leading our liberties and democracy down a very dangerous road.
