With the questionable speaker at the UofL, they were forced to allow him to speak, but then the student body invoked their own right to protest when he arrived, and he ended up not speaking.
I hate to pile on the C-11 discussion, but this feels like a 'waving arms over here' issue so that the Bill is not overly scrutinized.

The Bill has been around - and heavily scrutinized - for a year. It has been criticized and discussed on here in full conversation no less than half a dozen times.
At what point are people allowed to discuss other things without being accused of trying to distract from Bill C-11 every time it comes up. It was casually mentioned as part of an entirely different conversation. Does everyone owe it to the board to shift the discussion exclusively to Bill C-11 every time it is even mentioned in passing?
