Thread: Let Ann Coulter Speak!

Ann Coulter, the conservative American political commentator and writer, recently cancelled an appearance to speak at the University of Ottawa, and it's sparked a firestorm of controversy.

Ms. Coulter was scheduled to speak about “political correctness, media bias and freedom of speech” as part of a three-city Canadian tour. But a gang of angry hooligans gathered outside the hall and caused enough chaos that Coulter had to cancel.

In a recent editorial, The Globe and Mail, a Toronto-based paper, condemned the university as trying to restrain free expression.

Allan Rock, the university’s president, rejected accusations that the university had stifled free expression.

“Freedom of expression is a core value that the University of Ottawa has always promoted,” he said in a statement. “We have a long history of hosting contentious and controversial speakers on our campus.”


So what's your opinion? Personally, I don't know why people have such a problem with Ms. Coulter. She's just giving her opinons, and she always does so in an entertaining and thought-provoking way. The only people who seem to have a problem with this are usually a bunch of tree-hugging radicals.

You go, girlfriend!

How awful! I've been to Brennan's in New Orleans, and it's far from a low-class establishment. I guess it just goes to show that a person isn't truly safe in any environment. What a shame that we no longer live in a country where you can leave your doors unlocked.
