CDE Declares Ottawa Free Speech Movement Open

The Committee for the Defence of Education (CDE) at the University of Ottawa declares that the Ottawa Free Speech Movement was started on Friday January 23 2009 when physics student Marc Kelly and physics professor Denis Rancourt were arrested by Ottawa Police, under instruction from the University, for attempting to present political research in the MacDonald Hall auditorium, as part of the Cinema Politica/Academica open weekly series hosted by professors Rancourt and Claude Lamontagne.
Trespass laws and bogus criminal charges have been used to prevent free speech on North American campuses before and since Berkeley's Free Speech Movement of the 60s and these occurrences have multiplied on Canadian campuses in recent years; and in recent months at the University of Ottawa under the Rock administration.
This, in an Orwellian climate where the Secretary of the University, Nathalie Des Rosiers, who heads the university legal department and who has implemented the oppression, has recently been elected next General Counsel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA).
The CDE vows to keep Cinema Politica/Academic open and free from political censorship and police suppression.
Join us this Friday January 30th (MacDonald Hall auditorium 7pm) when Marc Kelly will continue his presentation on campus corruption, accompanied by Denis Rancourt.

This is really something. It's scary. Must keep our cool. This is certainly, absolutly, unacceptable. Canada has sunk very low - although, in a sense, I'm not that surprised, in a way. I lived in Ottawa for 9 years... But zionism has to be named, and it's not just in Ottawa, it's almost everywhere, now. God help and bless you all.
Not much surprising to me. I was harassed and eventually thrown out of the campus, and then prohibited by the police to visit any place on the campuses of the University of Toronto when I tried to expose University of Toronto fraud, distributing the documents of this fraud. See "University of Toronto Fraud" at http://ca.geocities.com/uoftfraud/
The horrific fraud is continuing.

Thanks for informing us about this.
I'm blogging it to.
I'm encouraged by the many letters that have been written in support of Rancourt.
Denis Rancourt will most likely be arrested again this Friday evening as he returns to the regular Friday evening film and discussion event.
Place and Time: MacDonald Hall Auditorium (MCD 146), 150 Louis Pasteur Street, 7 PM
Supporters in Ottawa are asked to be there, and to remain standing outside the entrance if police block the way. Bring your friends and video recorders or cameras if possible.
Let me guess: JEWS, in positions of authority are once more against free speech. Organized Jewry HATES free speech, because truth is poison to them.
