Ottawa authorities unable to ensure safety at ‘conservative’ event (again)

January 18, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Developing story…

(From the people who declined to bring you Ann Coulter):

Yesterday, there was a call in the mid afternoon, about 28 hours before the film was to be shown, from the National Archives saying that they had received a complaint and that the film could not be shown and was going to be shut down.

We subsequently learned that this complaint was from the Embassy of Iran.

After some phone calls, Fred managed to get the film back on track. Today, I had the privilege of interviewing Clare Lopez, the scheduled speaker for this event as well as David B Harris of INSIGNIS and then went home to prepare for the film just to get a call that there was protest outside the Archives, remember this building is a Canadian Government institution, not just a private theatre, and that not only was the event cancelled, but the entire building was shut down. Employees sent home, and the building locked up.
