An issue of free speech?

- March 24, 2010

Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter's speech at the University of Ottawa was cancelled.

Security concerns led to the cancellation of American right-winger Ann Coulter’s speech at the University of Ottawa Tuesday night.

Her scheduled speech prompted a boisterous protest by about 2,000 people who gathered outside the venue to protest her presence there.

The darling of the U.S. right-wing who uses incendiary language in her books and syndicated column now says she’s the victim of a hate crime under Canadian laws and is preparing a human rights complaint.

Should her version of free speech be allowed on Canadian campuses? Were students right to protest her presence?
