In advance of her visit, a senior official at the school sent Coulter a letter warning her to use “restraint, respect and consideration†in her remarks and telling her to review the country’s hate speech and defamation laws. From the letter:I would, however, like to inform you, or perhaps remind you, that our domestic laws, both provincial and federal, delineate freedom of expression (or “free speechâ€) in a manner that is somewhat different than the approach taken in the United States. I therefore encourage you to educate yourself, if need be, as to what is acceptable in Canada and to do so before your planned visit here.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. Outside of the criminal realm, Canadian defamation laws also limit freedom of expression and may differ somewhat from those to which you are accustomed. I therefore ask you, while you are a guest on our campus, to weigh your words with respect and civility in mind.In the past, Coulter has bashed Canada, saying, “They’d 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.†In response to the letter, Coulter writes, “I was hoping for a fruit basket, not a threat to prosecute.â€http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=2710026"The federation does not support Ann Coulter speaking on our campus," said student president Seamus Wolfe. "We're trying to work with the administration to see if we can ask her to do her speaking event somewhere else."

To keep the DUmmies from saying something hateful..... you'd have to cut their tongues out.

We have a great respect for freedom of expression in Canada, as well as on our campus, and view it as a fundamental freedom, as recognized by our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.I would, however, like to inform you, or perhaps remind you, that our domestic laws, both provincial and federal, delineate freedom of expression (or "free speech") in a manner that is somewhat different than the approach taken in the United States.

According to the uber-douchebag IanDavid, she could be arrested:
I love how they DUmb****s still trot out the "voter-fraud" bit, even though those allegations have long since been disproven and gone bye-bye.
You know where i can find out about that? Never heard of this before.
