Free Speech in Canada, Oh Really?

If this is an example of free speech in Canada, it's truly pathetic. Seems like free speech is only for the left, gays, etc. and not for conservatives, Christians etc. Anne Coulter had to cancel her speech last night at the University of Ottawa because of threats to her personal safety.
Right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter, who was forced to cancel her speech to the University of Ottawa Tuesday night over fears for her safety, says she’s the victim of a hate crime under Canadian laws.

She said she’s hired Canadian conservative activist Ezra Levant to prepare a human-rights complaint that will test how equitably these hate-crime laws are applied.

Update:

  1. It is okay to send Michael Moore into our Country to spew his liberal bias, and we have to listen to Tabor, Oliver, Clarke and Travers spewing their liberal bias every day, but when the right has someone to put our views across - stop them from speaking....Come on - let's demand Fox for Canada - that will really rock their boat!.....

  3. Some reports suggest that the speech was actually cancelled due to terrible organizing, and that the excuse of the supposed threat to her physical safety was used as a smokescreen by the organizers to shut it down.

  5. Rob - A report such as that - had to come from one of our well-known liberal reporters - likely one of the above... The liberals were behind the staged display and got caught... now as liberal usually do - they are trying their best to turn it on the Conservatives, just like the Afghan affair and every other target they put out there. Don't buy it.... it is just liberal sprew again... They were behind the cancellation of the Ann Coulter....

  7. so the blogger says this
    " Anne Coulter had to cancel her speech last night at the University of Ottawa because of threats to her personal safety."
    and the newsaper says this
    "Tuesday night over fears for her safety,"
    notice any difference?
    this is why we hold people accountable for the things they say, they lie and twist things to serve thier own agenda and incite.
    it was her own bodygaurd who said he feared for her safety there were no threats at all.
