Andy Ngo scheduled to speak at UBC on the topic of 'the threat of antifa violence'. Discussion cancelled due to threats of antifa violence LUL |

The question you should be asking, is why should he have to find another venue? As they say, universities are (or seemingly were until recently) the marketplace of ideas, where all ideas can be expressed and examined. If such discussions provoke violence at what should be the safest and best place for sharing ideas, then you have to wonder if there is something wrong with societies institutions. Or you can pretend nothing is wrong and suggest other venues. |

So you think universities should be some type of safe space? I think universities should be a place where people get an education so they can get a job. If you want to have a meeting have it somewhere else and leave the kids who just want to pass their classes alone. |

Pretty simple. |

What % of the people attending where going to be students and what % where going to white men who never went to UBC. My family members are not paying for this type of shit. |
Why should UBC be responsible for providing him with a platform for his “free speech”? He can go spout off whatever dumb shit he feels like, but the university has an obligation, like any business, to make decisions that benefit their operation by appealing to those that pay for their operations. Those include taxpayers, students, and other corporations and donors. I’d imagine that most of those probably aren’t interested in right wing conspiracy theorists speaking there, so they made a decision. You don’t like it? Donate enough money to have a presentation venue named after you and make some demands. |

Have a look at UBC's policy on academic freedom. https://academic.ubc.ca/about-vp-aca...ademic-freedom Regardless of your opinion of the content, Mr. Ngo falls within the category and has not breached their policy. Legally, he is entitled to speak their. |

Stop being such a snowflake and book a new venue. |

So what kind of precedent does that set? As long as you threaten violence you can have your way? Is that a quality you'd want your kids to possess? |

Manic! Welfare... you guys are starting off the year with a lot of intelligence here. OMG, I haven't heard of these fresh insights before. Why don't you both STFU ... if only someone can cancel you two here. |
