Messenger: “Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas.Excellent!They may be your last as king.”
May History repeat itself...
...and the threatening words of this current "messenger" from Ottowa also be turned back against himself......just as they were against the PREVIOUS messenger from a corrupt, would-be tyrant:
These guys have NO IDEA what it about to hit them, eh?
And here is a little something from the Strictly Right website--the blog of the radio station that interviewed her in Canada:
Might get some actionContact the Ottawa University Czars
Written by: Andrew Lawton
The Ottawa University Federation of Students passed a motion today to attempt to ban Ann Coulter from speaking on their campus.
The wording of the motion was priceless:
Whereas Ann Coulter is a hateful woman;
Whereas she has made hateful comments against GLBTQ, Islam, Judaism, and women;
Be it resolved that the [Student Federation of the University of Ottawa] express its disapproval of having Ann Coulter speak at the University of OttawaKJ360 posted the results of the vote. I encourage ALL readers to express their contempt for a board of students who believes in censoring a woman they disagree with (after already approving the event in the first place.)

I like this from the KJ350 link above:
LOL, I like that last sentence. I hope she tells him he is handsome and intelligent!Ann Coulter Motion
Michele declares she is disgusted by the apparent stall tactics.I do not have a copy of this motion because it’s emergency.
Again, my position on this is very clear.
QP:
Guillaume questions (some challenge that is debate)
Debate:
Jim Rae is for this motion.
Julie is for this motion.
Scott. prefaces that he thinks Coulter is hateful, but he is willing to listen because he believes that we need to give people the right to speak. He will go, and not agree with anything she has to say.
Mark seemed to think the Islamic purpose is to put Western countries under their yoke.Not only does he have a point, he is exactly right.He has a point there.
That is the Islamic goal, to put everyone in the world under their yoke.
Or kill them.
Period. Convert by the sword if necessary.
...EXACTLY the right "hot button" to push......in her upcoming speech to those young Canadian skulls full of mush...
...to drive their uptight PC-fascist masters absolutely BONKERS! :o)
Since you may one day join Premier Danny Williams and other fellow Canadians by heading south to take advantage of our advanced medical care...Bingo!
This could be a big winner!
Imagine Ann Coulter getting arrested for her "hate speech" against the socialist Canadian health care system!
It would be PERFECT timing......and would certainly help to frame the current lurch to the left in OUR health care laws.
...is to tweak their knee-jerk "Muslim terrorist-coddling" impulse. :o)

...What a sad and embarrassing letter, even by the standards of the Canadian academy. Does M Houle write to all University of Ottawa speakers like this?Or does he reserve his telekinetic powers to detect "pre-crime" only for the ideologically suspect?
I've no idea what Ann Coulter's reaction to this letter is, but I suspect it's "Go ahead, Princess Fairy Pants, make my day."
M Houle would have a very hard time persuading the Ottawa police or the RCMP to lay criminal charges over an Ann Coulter speech because they realize, even if he doesn't, that Canada doesn't need to become even more of an international laughingstock in this area. More likely is a complaint to the Canadian and/or Ontario "Human Rights" Commissions.
But you know something? I don't get the feeling they'd be eager to re-ignite the free speech wars on a nuclear scale. Think of Ezra's and my appearance in the House of Commons, and then imagine the scene when Miss Coulter testifies. So the threat is an empty one and M Houle seems to be being - oh, what's the "respectful and civil" way of putting it? - a posturing wanker.
This is the pitiful state one of the oldest free societies on the planet has been reduced to, and this is why our free speech campaign matters - because those who preside over what should be arenas of honest debate and open inquiry instead wish to imprison public discourse within ever narrower bounds - and in this case aren't above threatening legal action against those who dissent from the orthodoxies.
Lots of Americans loathe Ann Coulter but it takes a Canadian like François Houle to criminalize her. The strictures he attempts to place around her, despite his appeal to "Canadian law", are at odds with the eight centuries of Canada's legal inheritance. Canadians should point that out to him politely, and explain that, although he lives high off the hog courtesy of the Canadian taxpayer, he does not speak for them.
Telephone : (613) 562-5800 ext. 5737
Fax : (613) 562-5106
e-mail: francois.houle@uottawa.caAs I say, be polite but withering. He has after all explicitly threatened a visitor to Canada from a friendly country in a manner more suited to banana republic police chiefs.
And, if he insists his threats are not mere masturbatory posturing, tell him to contact Chief Commissar Jennifer Lynch, QC direct, and advise her that I'll be covering the hearing.
(Using Ann's style of approval via email)
Then you should change your nic. Who else gets this type of letter? YOu don't think this is a direct and personal threat?
“Actually, I don’t see anything sinister with this letter. It is just a mention of differences between Canadian and U.S. freedom of expression laws.”
If this letter was sent to every foreign visitor/speaker, you would have a point.
But it is not.
It was sent specifically to Ann and for the express purpose to stifle her speech.
This is just stupid and embarrassing crap from the left as usual.
After what Mark Steyn, and Ezra Levant have put Jennifer Lynch through this year, I don't think she'd have much interest in getting in to battle of brains with Ann. Lynch would be showing up unarmed.
Welcome to Canada anyway, Ann.
Are you talking about the Marine Corpse or the Press Corpse?
And you know that with certainty? The correspondence would be addressed to her directly since that is the professional thing to do, and not just hand her a memo. But that doesn't preclude a similar letter going out to other individuals who might be speaking.
Even if there was some sinister plot, Ann chose to accept the speaking position. She can certainly make up her own mind and fight her own battles in a foreign country.
I still think there are much bigger fish to fry within the U.S. than worrying about some university outside of our own borders.
