So our lovely immigration minister banned George Galloway from entering Canada last year, yet Ann Coulter is fine to come here and speak to our university students, now I'm all for free speech but come on, ban one let the other in, even with the comments she's made about this country i nthe past like '[Canadians] better hope the United States does not roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent', or her insisting that we sent soldiers to help fight the Vietnam War, then telling the CBC she would get back to them, but of course she didn't because she was wrong.
Now we have hate speech laws here, and some of the things she has said i nthe past have been controversial, possibly bordering on hate speech, comments like

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

I think our motto should be, post-9-11, 'raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.

Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether.

Those are just a few examples, many more can be found here

I guess my question is, does Jason Keeney have a double standard on who he allows to speak i nthe country i nthis situation? I mean Galloway banned, Coulter allowed, I don't know, I reckon he does, I know myself I'd never go see Coulter speak, bt maybe that's just me and this is a non issue. Or maybe I'm just tired of al lthe threads about US health care and I want something else to be at the top of the politics forums haha.
