Meh, apparently Calgary treated her well enough.

Watching it also on the news, it seems she had good reception at the University of Calgary and she even suggested that Alberta become the 51st state. Now, I'm not an Albertan, but I winced when I heard that.

I personally find her insufferable, but it would've been nice for her to have stuck around the U of O (or whatever venue they would've had for her), just for the debate and discussion. If she came to my university, I probably would've gone, just to see if she really is a psycho like she is on T.V.

However, I know she would never ever come here. We're too east for her to travel.


Anyways, here's her side of the story apparently.

I agree that she should have been able to speak but only because there are people who are radicals on the other end of the spectrum just like ther and they get away with it.

Also I find that you only respond to people like AC if what she says is actually true. If people said all Welsh people were stupid. I wouldn't find it offensive because it's not true. I just choose to ignore it.

I also think University people are stupid.

You get treated better in Alberta if you are a Conserative (spl). Just look at Sarah Palin.

Ann Coulter is one rude woman. Was reading how she was insulting a female muslim student that was asking her a series of pestering question with "travel by flying carpet" or "take a camel". If she insulted me like that I'd probably take a swing at her.

Albertans don't like rioting. Calgary, or Kananaskis, hosted the G8 in 2002 and there was nothing worthy of reporting. As an Albertan I would have liked if that summit were on the front page of every major paper in the world for those 2 days. But nope, nobody came out to protest, or riot.

So anyone can have some big talk in Alberta and it won't draw much attention. That's probably why she chose Ottawa first. Would have been even more news worthy if it were in Montreal. Pretty slick PR move cancelling that Ottawa talk though.

So apparently on ly certain ideas are acceptable in Canada? Is hate speech like thought crime? I personally loathe Ann Coulter but this kind of muzzling of any speech no matter what is scary. Ahmadinjedad has spoken in the U.S. and even bee interviewed on American network t.v. The slope is slippery!! Seems I remember there was a problem with George Gallway speaking in Canada also.

Yup, in 28 years of living in Calgary, the biggest protest I ever witnessed was when Safeway went on strike.

I agree with the above posters, Albertans don't like protests.
