Dear Ann: Go Back To Outer Wingnuttia!

Not all Canadians are wannabe Americans, Ann.

Ann Coulter said she's determined to "save the good Canadians" in Calgary and regions west from "crazy Liberals,"
...
"I'm more determined than ever to turn pretty much from Calgary through the west into the 51st state now. We got to save the good Canadians.

While your buddies like Ezra Levant and Craig Chandler might be eagerly awaiting their next orders from Bush II and his minions, there's an awful lot of us who are proud to be Canadian - and equally find loudmouths like you an embarrassment.

It might come as something of a shock to you, but there's actually people in Calgary who take pride in our history as Canadians.

In the meantime, the following summarizes my opinion of your arrogant, condescending attitude towards Canada:

So Ms. Coulter Was Worried About Limiting Her Speech?

It doesn't seem to have stopped her from spouting her usual bigotry:

On Monday night, Coulter sparked controversy when she spoke to about 800 people at the University of Western Ontario in London. ...

But the regular Fox News commentator drew outrage from some, including a 17-year-old Muslim student who asked her a question about her views on Muslims.

Coulter has said all terrorists are Muslims and has suggested all Muslims be barred from airlines and use flying carpets.

When the student said she didn't have a flying carpet, Coulter told her to "take a camel."

and this woman wants to whine and snivel about a handful of protesters at University of Ottawa?

I'd say she had her chance to make her speech, she made it, and people got outraged. Gosh ... who woulda thunk it?

Frankly, Ms. Coulter has shown herself to be a bigot and a racist. If we can ban a British MP for holding opinions that the HarperCon$ find difficult to stomach, one might just wonder what kind of "free speech" we're promoting by letting a nutcase like Coulter into Canada?

[Update]
According to the G&M, she's hired Ezra Levant to prepare the complaint on her behalf:

“I would like to know if any Muslim has been treated this badly, at least since the Reformation, because I am drawing a blank,” Ms. Coulter told The Globe.

Ummm...wow. So after telling a Muslim student to 'take a camel' instead of flying, she thinks she's hard done by because her views are sufficiently outrageous that people actually called her out.

She also took a swipe at Canadians, saying this country has lost its edge.

“You guys used to be so cool. You were smokers. You had epic hockey fights. We had half our comedians from Canada. Now you’re all a bunch of girls named Francois.”

Oh ... how nice. Great way to win friends and influence people, Ann. Perhaps in some future life, you might learn this funny Canadian value called 'respect'.

It Only Makes Sense If You're Insane

So, it seems that Ann Coulter wants to file a human rights complaint in Canada ...

Inflammatory right-wing pundit Ann Coulter took aim at a University of Ottawa administrator Monday night, saying an e-mail from the school warning her to use “restraint, respect and consideration” when addressing Ontario students during a speaking tour this week made her a victim of a “hate crime.”

Speaking to students and academics at the University of Western Ontario Monday, Coulter said the e-mail sent to her Friday by Francois Houle, vice-president academic and provost of the University of Ottawa, targeted her as a member of an identifiable group and as such, she will be filing a complaint with the Human Rights Commission alleging hate speech.

Kind of makes you wonder just what Ms. Coulter's speech was going to be, doesn't it? But then, like a lot of the extreme right wing in the US - and Canada for that matter - Ms. Coulter is well known shooting from the lips and not really paying attention to facts or reality.

... and right on cue, we find Ezra Levant on the stage:

Ezra Levant, lawyer and former publisher of the Western Standard magazine, spoke before Coulter on Monday and called Houle’s letter a “veiled threat.”

Why yes, Ezra, only you could possibly take a bit of advice given to someone who may not be fully cognizant of Canada's laws and interpret it as a 'threat'.

Of course, Ms. Coulter opens her yap during her speech and says the following:

“A word is either offensive or it’s not. In a world of political correctness, all words are banned unless they’re used against conservatives.

Ummm...no. It doesn't work that way, Ann - and you know it. The e-mail you received encapsulated the concept in three words: “restraint, respect and consideration”. It's not like your track record for saying amazingly ignorant things in public isn't well known in Canada.

If the notion of speaking in a manner that respects others, and being asked to do so, is 'discriminatory' against them and a form of hate crime, it does make one wonder just what they had in their minds to say in the first place.
