The money quote:
 
 For example, promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges.  Outside of the criminal realm, Canadian defamation laws also limit freedom of expression and may differ somewhat from those to which you are accustomed. 
Of course I believe in Canada many facts about liberals, homosexuals et al, unless sprinkled with a generous porportion of political correctness will be considered as "promoting hatred."

I think the Canadian Provost is promoting hatred against people who practice free speech and Americans.

File Charges against him!!!

So speak freely, but not so freely to where you may offend anyone, including yours truly, or we’ll lock you up and throw away the key!

It’s as Canadian as substandard Maple syrup! Whoops, I offended the maple syrup producers! Crimnal or civil, take your pick on this one.

You will realize that Canadian law puts reasonable limits on the freedom of expression.

For example, promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges.

Hatred has nothing to do with speech in Canada. Opening your mouth in Canada equals hatred if an identifiable group even complains regardless of evidence. Just ask Mark Stein. who is being prosecuted unless something has taken place I am not aware of.

Does everyone from America who's invited to speak at a Canadian college get this kind of warning, or just conservatives?

Maybe just Ann Coulter?

If a Vancouver Canucks fan says he hates the Rangers, is that actionable?

I think this guy needs an email from the Commandant of the Marine Corps advising him of actions the US military can take against any terrorist nation who holds a US citizen hostage.

What a cordial invitation! Don’t fall for the baited trap Ann, you may want to give Mark Steyn a call for lawyer (solicitor) advice if you do go.

Vice-Rector Houle:

I would inform you how repugnant your letter is to the spirit of free political speech and debate, not only in the United States, but in the realms that remained under the Crown, such as your own. However, as a professor of political science, it’s exceedingly unlikely that you don’t already know. Shame, sir.

They better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent.
