The book went on to garner the 2008 Governor General's Literary Award in Non-fiction.〔 Blatchford's book ''Helpless: Caledonia's Nightmare of Fear and Anarchy, and How the Law Failed All of Us'', concerning the Grand River land dispute, led to some controversy including several members of the student body of the University of Waterloo protesting her speaking engagement and leading to its being cancelled on grounds of security.〔(''National Post'' web site )〕 In an article in the ''National Post'' online on August 22, 2011, she criticized the outpouring of support resulting from the death of federal NDP Leader and the Parliament of Canada's Leader of the Opposition Jack Layton, calling it "a public spectacle", and referring to Layton's "canonization". This caused an outcry toward Blatchford herself.〔Mac, Amber (August 24, 2011). "(Layton’s death reveals the good, the bad and the ugly online )", ''The Globe and Mail''.
