Coulter's Ottawa speech cancelled over 'public safety' fears

Concerns for "public safety" forced the cancellation of American conservative commentator Ann Coulter's speaking engagement at the University of Ottawa Tuesday night.


Several hundred people, including students from both Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, showed up prior to Coulter's speech. The loudest and most vociferous were protesting her presence, drowning out a smaller group of pro-Coulter demonstrators.


Ottawa police had more than nine squad cars at the scene, at the university's Marion Hall. But the event was cancelled about 8:15 p.m. — before Coulter had a chance to speak.


"It's a public safety issue," said Sgt. Dan Beauchamp.


Coulter stirred controversy even before she arrived in Ottawa. The university's student federation objected to her even appearing on campus, going so far as to ban posters advertising her speaking engagement. The University of Ottawa provost, Francois Houle, wrote a letter to the American author warning her against violating Canada's hate-speech laws.


Coulter replied, suggesting Houle was showing "hatred" toward conservatives.


The exchange no doubt contributed to the large turnout for the event.


"No more racists on our campus,'' shouted the anti-Coulter crowd.


"No more commies on our campus," shouted the pro-Coulter group.


In the end, of course, nobody got to hear what the woman had to say.

i wont be if her plane crashes.  thats kinda messed up tho...the pilot and the rest of the people on the plane probably are OK and dont deserve to die.....

ok ok, i hope a plugged in toaster falls into the tub with her.  thats better.

Shallow:
I saw her on Michael Coren today and agreed with almost everything she said. Most people that oppose her just don't like her style. What she says is pretty spot on.
