| Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter's speech at the University of Ottawa was cancelled. |
Security concerns led to the cancellation of American right-winger Ann Coulter’s speech at the University of Ottawa Tuesday night.
Her scheduled speech prompted a boisterous protest by about 2,000 people who gathered outside the venue to protest her presence there.

Should her version of free speech be allowed on Canadian campuses? Were students right to protest her presence?
