SNIPPET: “Organizers have cancelled a University of Ottawa speech by right-wing American pundit Ann Coulter after deciding it wasn’t safe to hold the event.
The move followed boisterous demonstrations outside that some sponsors of the appearance feared could turn violent.
“There was a risk there could be physical violence,” said Canadian conservative activist Ezra Levant, who was scheduled to introduce Ms. Coulter.
Authorities evacuated the University of Ottawa building where Ms. Coulter was due to speak after someone triggered a fire alarm.”
From the Globe and Mail:
“During her Monday night speech at the University of Western Ontario, Ms. Coulter told a Muslim women to “take a camel” if she couldn’t fly.
Fatima Al-Dhaher, a political science student, complained about Ms. Coulter’s comments on Islam, including her suggestion that Muslims denied air travel use “flying carpets.”
Rocks, sticks, threats, but, hey, as long as its not hate speech.
Where are the mounties when you need them? Keeping an eye on Snidely Whiplash?
“Color me shocked - I had no idea they didn’t have free speech in Canada. Wow!”
Ironic, eh?
Man, she’s on a roll: “There are only two things gay men can’t do. Number one, get married to each other. Number two, throw a baseball without looking like a girl.”
Free Dominion.

I just love their sense of freedom of speech and fair play. /sarc
It is hate speech. By the Left. As usual. Don’t tolerate it. Screw them if they try to take away our right of free speech.
Al!
Don’t worry, Ann! At least your health care will be free if you don’t mind waiting six months to see the doctor.
Leftivism on display?
Coulter alive or Canada nuked!
I work for a small canadian company, one of my colleagues lives in London, ON, where she was last night. I can tell you she was behind enemy lines last night in London - one of the most liberal cities in a very liberal country.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
