The Canadian government did not tell Coulter she could not speak. The Ottawa police did not tell Coulter she could not speak.
Maybe not directly....but they certainly encouraged it.

Quote:
Organizers pulled the plug on a speaking engagement by U.S. Conservative commentator Ann Coulter at the University of Ottawa Tuesday evening, citing security concerns.

Police advised organizers to cancel after students of all political stripes descended upon the university to hear the talk — some of them lining up for more than two hours in the rain.

Others showed up to protest Coulter’s presence. The self-described polemicist is known for her inflammatory comments. She recently said Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to travel in airplanes and should use flying carpets instead.
Again....no one should be limited to speak for fear of harm to them or anyone there to either listen or protest. Its truly an embarrassment IMO.
