Ellen Ocran - NDP Assistant not Student

Last week when Ann COULTER was denied the opportunity to speak at the UofOttawa there was a VERY angry encounter between a "student" and a "free speech" advocate - recorded on video and in the press.  Here was the clip from the CP article:

"Ann Coulter should go back to where she came from because we don't want her back here," shouted Ellen Ocran, a University of Ottawa student in a shouting match with a Coulter backer.

In this AP clip (below) note angry young black women - vociferously chanting and yelling  with others in extremely confrontational manner.   It is remarkable that someone did not get into a fight.   Certainly for a "student" she was louder than anyone else. 



Then I saw this blog comment.  This young women - Ellen OCRAN - is not a "student" but an assistant for NDP Pat Martin.  As this blog suggests, is this not as bad as a CPC staffer using her unmarried name when writing letters to the press to support her MP?

OCRAN, like a number of other protesters, had buttons identifying them as members of the Cdn Federation of Students.   Interestingly, this groups has ruled for decades as a totally undemocratic organization almost immune from democracy.  Here is website dedicated to removal of the group from Concordia University in Montreal.    Quite shocking.
