"We see a similar trend happening on Canadian campuses. In March, Danielle Robitaille, one of Jian Ghomeshi’s defence lawyers, was forced to cancel a guest lecture at Wilfrid Laurier University due to safety concerns. The same month, Ezra Levant, founder of Rebel Media, was disrupted by protesters during a talk at Ryerson University."


1. That's not exactly the truth about Danielle Robitaille, who said she would have showed up if given more time to prepare for possible protests.

"I simply don't have a sense of the scope of the objection, whether any international women's day demonstrations will be combined with protests against the talk," Robitaille wrote in cancelling. "From my perspective the roadblock here is logistical and there are no hard feelings."  


2.  Ezra Levant likes nothing better than to provoke exactly the kind of response he got at Ryerson - which in any case amounted to nothing more than a brief delay due to protestors chanting.
