Where's the line?

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, is a bill of rights guaranteeing Freedom of expression. Expression such as thought, belief, and opinions. It is said however, to be illegal to publicly incite hatred against people based on their colour, race, religion, ethnic origins, and sexual orientation, except where the statements made are true or are made in good faith.

"How far is too far," we all ask ourselves. Ann Coulter is her name. American conservative social and political commentator. On a Canadian-University Tour, Ann Coulter makes her visit at the University of Ottawa. Where she cancels her own speech, due to organizers predicting the situation was unsafe. Ms. Coulter has said, she has given more than 100 speaches in schools and this was the first time anything like this has ever happened.

"It is an absolute bush league, bottom of the barrel schools that you get the worst treatment and yet still I have never seen this before," remarked Coulter.

Ann Coulter was warned before hand to watch what she said. Who's to blame however? Ann Coulter has written 7 novels as well as many weekly newspaper columns. The University of Ottawa had to know what's coming. Ann Coulter speaks her opinion. Why is it that this women's speeches get so blown out of proportion due to her beliefs. University of Ottawa had a choice to decide weather or not they wanted her. If you have something against Ann Coulter, dont come. If you disagree with Ann Coulter, guess what? You can.

All's Fair in Love and War


I was in the local ice cream parlor down town, when I caught my eye on a fine number. He had a face only a mother could love. Not to mention he was dressed to the nines!I tell ya, if looks could kill. I was in seventh heaven, and holding back the wild butterflies in my stomach. They say oposites attract and this man was surely my oposite! Never say never I thought. After all, I`d been looking for love as if I was looking for a needle in a haystack. Let`s just say very picky! He approached me looking like the cat who ate the canary. Boy oh boy, he was one smooth operator. In a nutshell, he was everything! Defiantly more than the cats meow! I finally decided that its not wheather you win or lose it`s how you play the game, and sometimes you just got to let your hair down. I`ve been unlucky in cards, but lucky in love so I hoped on the bandwagon. Love is blind, but I knew this man was right up my alley. I don`t mean to sound so cliche but they do say it`s not over til the fat lady sings, and I hear a Mozart concerteo!

Gone with the Wind

I heard a gunshot fire, as I glanced out the window of the saloon. A women screamed in horror. A chiseled image of a man appeared from the corner of an alley way. From far away my observation was that this man was in need of a shower. He walked with a sense confidence and purpose, however. As he got closer, I could see the creases that fell from his forehead. They reminded me of thick black lines of drawn ink. His eyebrows rose to a peak like the tip of Mount Kilmanjaro. His skin shawn with depth. It almost looked like the style of a old, worn out leather jacket. So much story, so much character. I attempted to read his expression, like he was a well written novel. The sun was begining to set as the man stopped in the middle of the road. He looked over at me and winked. There was something about it I found so intriguing, and at that very moment a black stalion came galuping towards this intense man, and he was gone.
