University of Lethbridge students deserve more respect
By Lethbridge Herald on February 7, 2026.
Editor,
The University of Lethbridge had a controversial figure show up unannounced and uninvited on Wednesday with the express intent of causing a scene to post to her followers on social media. She spouted hateful, racist rhetoric under the guise of free speech. Students gathered in protest, utilizing their own free speech to drown out her rhetoric through volume.
My class was cancelled because of the noise disturbance. The university, rather than removing someone for intentionally causing a disturbance in their learning environment, brought security out to defend and reinforce her. They legitimized the invitation she had created for herself. By providing her security, the University of Lethbridge supported her in creating her disturbance for social media. She wasn’t invited to speak. She decided to intentionally cause a scene for views, and this cost the university’s students and staff time, money, and security. The university did nothing to defend their students, their staff, or their environment and enabled her presence for over six hours.
What if she decides to come back again? How many classes do I, or my fellow students, need to lose before the university will respect us? Or, to speak in their terms, where is my refund for failing to provide me with a service I paid for?

Who actually created the noise disturbance? Your dedicated fellow students. Ms. Widdowson’s intent was to simply engage in dialogue. Thoughtful dialogue. Simply put, draw some heads out of the sand. $215 million wasted and can you tell me how many missing, murdered children were NOT discovered? Maybe you could get a passing mark on this question!

It’s no different than these mindless seniors believing every lie these Reformers feed them and help them create billions of dollars in debt for our children and grandchildren to face without any concern for their future. In other words there is nothing Conservative about them, is there?
This Reform Party Clown Pierre Poilievre helps those criminal convoy truckers create a $37 million debt for the citizens of Ottawa and a $6 billion economic disaster for Canadians and these Alberta seniors show no respect to the Conservatives in Ottawa for kicking him out, that’s how stupid they are, aren’t they?
