Kerfuffle (?) about regulating nano in Canada

Canadian Press has an article by John Cotter ‘Experts have wanted Ottawa to regulate nanotechnology Ottawa has yet to respond’ that’s making the rounds in the blogosphere. The report being discussed ‘Small is different’ was filed July 2008 and can be found here, just look down the list. I did mention the report here about the time it was released.

The thing that makes the article interesting to me is that it seems like there’s a kerfuffle but it’s one article that’s been picked up and published all over the place. It’s not obvious because a publication doesn’t necessarily use the whole piece, regardless, if you look, it’s always attributed to Canadian Press and you’ll notice that what you’re reading is an edited version (or, if they list the author John  Cotter, you’re reading the whole article).
