By addressing Canadian diversity, Ann Coulter said that diversity is not an advantage to a country like Canada. \u201cIt&#8217;s not a strength\u201d, she continued.

The member of Parliament for Calgary West led the applause last night from his front row seat.<br \/>\n    The Prime Minister&#8217;s mentor, Rainer Knopff, who co-authored the reckless and divisive firewall letter, co-sponsored the speech and sat there while his guest savaged mainstream Canadian values.<br \/>\n    Silence is acquiescence. Either the Prime Minister supports it or he does not. Which is it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Deputy Speaker: <\/strong><br \/>\n    Order, please.
