Ann Coulter’s scheduled speech at the University of Ottawa Tuesday was abruptly cancelled, organizers determining that it was “unsafe” for her to fulfill her commitment. Canadian self-hating anti-Semite, Ezra Levant, and her opening act on the cross country campus tour intended to promote conservatism and to purportedly test the boundaries of free speech. Levant said “there was a risk there could be physical violence.” Coulter remarked upon the incident and the University of Ottawa, saying “it’s at the absolute bush league, bottom of the barrel schools that you get the worst treatment and yet and still I’ve never seen this before. I’m guessing the scores to get into the University of Ottawa are not very challenging.” Levant, predictably, said the evening’s event underscored how free speech is being frozen in Canada by a kind of political correctness. “Isn’t it ironic,” said Ezra, with some irony, “that it takes a provocative American coming to Canada to reveal the shortcomings in Canadian free speech.”
Senator Scott Brown, a Republican from Massachusetts who hints he is running for office in 2012, is suddenly scared that MSNBC host Rachel Maddow intends to run against him, and he is using the supposed story to raise campaign funds. “Rachel Maddow has a nightly platform to push her far-left agenda. What about you? I’d like to encourage ordinary American citizens concerned about the future of their country to get more involved in our government. I hope you were encouraged by my victory to become more politically active, maybe even become a candidate for office yourself. We can continue to push our movement forward by running for office, joining in rallies and petitions that challenge President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s healthcare legislation, supporting campaigns against the tax-and-spenders or by donating time and money to office-holders and candidates who will restore the principles of our founders.”
