OTTAWA — Firebrand US conservative Ann Coulter has accused a Canadian university provost of "hate crimes against conservatives" and called for a human rights probe of the matter, a local paper said Tuesday.
The American right-wing pundit and author is in Canada for a trio of speeches.
Ahead of a talk at the University of Ottawa on Tuesday evening, she said she was warned by provost Francois Houle to use "restraint, respect and consideration" when speaking at the school.
Coulter told the Ottawa Citizen newspaper: "Now that the provost has instructed me on the criminal speech laws he apparently believes I have a proclivity (to break), despite knowing nothing about my speech, I see that he is guilty of promoting hatred against an identifiable group: conservatives."

Yes ... !
Sounds like the provost may have incited a riot.

Same ol’ same ol’ ...... Typical AC: shameless self promoter and professional victim.
Don’t think she’s serious, other than shining the spotlight on the hypocrisy of the left.
Say that to her face and we'll see who the victim is.
Meanwhile, I'll get the popcorn.
Cheers!

HOORAY Ann!!!
A handful of anti-speech, anti-truth, anti-freedom collectives control the universities now? Infiltrate, identify, incarcerate their life endangering/threatening elements...or is hate speech/actions protected in Canada?
F’n idiots, eh?
Sounds like the provost may have incited a riot.Bingo!

March 23, 2010Coulter "Mobbed" at Ottawa U
When I heard Coulter was coming to Canada I figured attending the event would be worth the entertainment value, if for nothing other than to witness the unhinged reaction that was sure to follow. Ottawa U didn't disappoint.
When I arrived there was a line of a few hundred, maybe a thousand people outside the Marion building. A few of them were chanting in front of the cameras but the line was otherwise better behaved than for a typical rock concert. The size of the line was no doubt a bit of a problem because the room held no more than 400 (my estimate).
Since I had registered for the event ahead of time I had no trouble elbowing my way to the front, verifying my name was on the list, getting inside and chatting briefly with Ezra Levant.
After a while the fire alarm went off, the obvious false alarm having been dealt with we sat down expecting the event to start.
Instead Ezra announced that police told him it would be "physically unsafe" to bring Ann in due to the "unruly mob" outside. There was certainly no issue, or even noise, inside the auditorium.
Since I was inside at that point I don't know how unruly they became outside. But this is the national capital, just a few blocks from Parliament Hill, the US Embassy, the Prime Minister's Residence and countless embassies. The police surely have the capability to respond to anyone threatening a woman with dozens of TV cameras around. Instead, they chose to cancel the event instead.
After leaving the auditorium (from a side entrance, as the police insisted), I walked back out front to see what the commotion was:
A lone policewoman standing on the step asked me to leave after I took her picture. I did leave, after expressing disbelief that they canceled the event over what appeared to be a few dozen pathetic protesters chanting in front of the nearby cameras.
A truly pathetic situation all around.

The great news is, this proves that Francois's letter incited hatred and violence against Ann Coulter.

I was just outside the door to the auditorium waiting to get in since I had registered. Most of the students had not registered and were told they would not get in because their name was not on the registration list. Those students did not leave, even after the fire alarm went off (set off intentionally to disrupt the event??), and despite the request of security and the lone policewoman.
Most were polite and patient but there was a small but very vocal group agitating. If the doors had been opened I am sure there would have been a mad rush and several hundred kids would have streamed in. One organizer at the door said it was cancelled because it was not a safe situation. This remark was booed.
A contingent of police did come, I estimate about 5 of them about 20 min after the fire alarm. No firemen. We were then told after an hour of waiting, the event was canceled. Still no one left for about 15-20 min. I was told by security that Ann Coulter did not set foot in Marion Hall.
While waiting outside, a group of students were handing out anti-racism, anti-islamaphobia, anti-hate buttons and posters trying to get people riled up. Only about 1 in 5 or 6 accepted.
Not one student I asked had a read a book she had written or could identify exactly what hate speech she actually said. Clips of you tube videos of "hateful" things were cited.
Pathetic all around. Jaeger, at least you got to hear Ezra Levant.

Its nice to get eye witness accounts of these things. Looks like the event got canceled due to officials basically not wanting to be bothered with a ruckus from less than twenty jerkoffs. Sheer laziness, in other words.
We live in a country where not-very-important people, like campus security guards, get to decide who speaks and who doesn't, at whim. I'd say that's getting pretty far along the police state path.
I hope Ann sues the britches off 'em.

Prison time for the hater!!! Burn his house! Stone his family! /Arec Barwin rant ;^)
I thought Coulter was opposed to the whole idea of hate crimes? Now she's claiming protection from them.
You’re just jealous that she has balls and you don’t.
You know, some people are unbelievably dense.
Coulter is demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. It's Rush Limbaugh's m.o. and lots of folks use it to wonderful effect.
And you either knew that already and are being intentionally ridiculous in order to smear Coulter with one of the dumbest and most transparent tactics imaginable or you're so stupid shouldn't be allowed to post in public.
Which is it?
