  1. The letter by Mr. Shouman to the University of Waterloo’s president is excellent, but don’t hold your breath waiting for a responsible answer from the president. I am assuming that the president is what today passes for a political correct lefty such as Allen Rock and the left is only interested in freedom of speech that affirms a certain thinking.

  2. Excellent letter. And yes, sadly, the fact that the letter-writer’s name is Mohammed may help to keep him from automatically being labeled a right-wing racist!

  3. Its a nice letter, but writing to this clown complaining about the “zero action” police policy is like writing to Stalin complaining about the gulags.

  4. ““Our goal was to not let her speak, we accomplished that.””
    Simplified English translation:
    “I am a Fascist and proud of it”

  5. When people like Christie Blatchford and Ann Coulter get shouted down by brownshirts, wouldn’t it be great if they had a canned speech on automatic Powerpoint? As soon as it becomes clear that their words won’t be heard, they could just click and sit back and smile while their words are seen on a big screen. They could even lip synch if they really wanted to have fun.

  6. Apparently the protesters could not be safely removed because they had used bike locks to secure themselves to the stage. I have it on good authority that no bike locks are fully safe. How come a petty bike thief can break any bike lock but the campus police cannot?

  7. I think we should all write letters to the WU president as well as Alan Rock at Ottawa U re Ann Coulter and the president of Carleton U who had one of the students arrested when she spoke against abortion. Of all places, universities should promote the free expression and debate of any ideas.
    I saw Christie Blatchford on the Michael Coren show and was very impressed. I just received her book and will read it shortly. I have been looking for a report on what happened at Caledonia.

  8. The most troubling aspect to this story is the inaction of police, who did nothing to protect freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
    And they’re the ones allowed to carry sidearms.

  9. Apologies to the moderator if I am disregarding the rules of this blog.
    Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship (SAFS) has been dealing with these issues on North American campuses and elsewhere for years. You can support their goals by becoming a member:

    They don’t have a website, but maybe they should… they do publish a newsletter. They also have a email address: safs@safs.ca

  10. Rule of law zero, radical leftwing anarchists win again. I can’t stand those race baters, arseholes the lot of them.

  11. Canned air horns and our own locks/chains to add the already locked chained people.
    Bring cases of them to such events and then when the little Leftist darlings are nicely locked to any stage add some more locks/chains that they don’t have the keys/combos to…and then empty those canned air horns into their ears until they unchain/lock themselves and beg to leave.
    Additionaly, super soakers filled with that indelible purple ink that was used in the Iraq/Afghan elections would mark these miscreants for the anti-democracy values they espouse.
    It’s time to get creative with these people, especially since they’ve immobilized themselves.
    Glue and feathers?

  12. A very easy solution to the lack of testosterone when dealing with bed wetters is to get real security personnel. I suggest that all meetings have Hell’s Angeles security personnel on hand to ensure that all guest speakers and the paying public have the right to be heard and to hear.
    This contingent of security personnel would be able to offset the lack of backbone which the university security guards lack and set an example to these little fascists that their days of running the universities is over.
    A quick and dirty effective solution. History teaches that appeasement does not work.

  13. I had friends in the audience. I suggested to one that the next time she attends, she take a nice secure bag of fermented dog crap with her – to be opened “in case of emergency”.

  15. Speedy, I thought of that (duct tape), but it would be fodder for their cause. It wouldn’t look good on TV to have the proponents of free speech duct taping the mouths of their opponents. I think that Oz and Kate’s ideas would be more effective.

  16. The Kat Wombwells—is this a made up name? But good, as I don’t think she’s a fully formed human being—of this world have had plenty of practice at being bullies, LONG before they’re at a university in order to deny the freedoms of those with whom they disagree.
    Our public schools, which natter on and on about anti-bullying, are major incubators for bullies. Schools are safe all right—for the bullies, who intimidate most people in their path. The teacher who dares to stand up to the bullies—especially if they should belong to any protected group—has to be really careful: if one of the low life, jackal-behaviour inclined bullies should complain about the teacher, there will be no support, for the teacher, from administration in 95% of cases. In fact, if the teacher should say anything even mildly pithy, in the face of severe provocation—he/she is likely to be hauled into the office to explain—or worse. Appeasement of the lowest, thuggish common denominator rules in our public schools.
    We’re incubating, at taxpayer expense, a tsunami of pathological bullies. As all of us here are aware, they’re self-referential, entitled, and now empowered, by the very officials who are “entrusted” with protecting the rest of us.
    Kyrie eleison.

  17. Gus it is assault to do anything but at least you wouldn’t have to hear them. When the inevitable media event happens they can spew the garbage and lose any sympathy the duct tape caused.
    I heard the guy that stated he had proof the TEA party was led by the neo-nazis and white supremacists. The CBC interviewed him. Conclusion, the guy was a nut. This way the story is preventing the speech. The other way it is these people are nuts. I like to let them prove they are nuts.
    Air horns are ok though. So are Fox 40’s.

  18. I doubt the creativity fantasized above would have been feasible due to the inverted morality of the PC environment on campuses. The “security” personnel were actually there for only one reason and that was to prevent the people in the audience from harming the fascists protesters. In the PC world, these kinds of fascists are one of the favored minorities and it is their free speech “rights” that must be protected.
    Notice that the well written letter by Mohammed came from an Engineering grad student rather than a typically more fascist-friendly faculty member. It’s not as if a liberal arts student has to worry about anything mundane like the pursuit of a career, for example.

  19. Bike locks? Bollocks. First of all, police have security tools that can get those things open in seconds. Second, anyone can get those things open with a Bic pen cap once you know how.
    I’m a U(W) alumnus and I just wrote the alumni affairs office informing them that the money I would have donated this year is instead going to the Man Sci Soc student budget.

  20. Because of some of my opinions on immigration I have been called a racist and worse (for being in favor of better screening criteria).
    I can say with with 100% conviction that I am proud to call Mr. Shouman a fellow Canadian. Now here’s a man who gets our values.

  21. The hippies of the ’60s are running the universities of today. They didn’t really have any respect for free speech then, and they don’t now.

  22. Just goes to what I’ve held all along:
    University student- shut up and shovel.
    Talk to me after you’ve been paying income, and consumtion taxes for five years,or better.
