George Galloway Banned from Canada - OUTRAGE

Jason Kenney, who's answering machine recieved an earful from myself this afternoon, the immigration minister of the Harper MINORITY Government has disallowed George Galloway, RESPECT anti-war MP from the UK from coming into Canada. I for one was planning to see him when he speaks in Toronto March 30th. I have heard this event will go on as planned and I will be there no matter what.

This is sickening. The reasons given for the 'honourable' Mr. Kenney's decision is that George Galloway disagrees, more or less, with the NATO mission in Afghanistan. I got news for you Kenney...various members of the Parliament you sit in disagree with the mission. Is it time to ship Jack and others somewhere else? Is it time to deport a good chunk of the country now?

I am truly disturbed by this. I am living in a country that doesn't allow foreign dissidents speak to civil society because it disagrees with the government. I have never personally seen such a blatant disregard for freedom of speech in my life. Mr. Kenney is part of a dying trend and he knows it full well, for the Harper regime's days are numbered and this action has done nothing good for them. Kudos on Olivia Chow for calling Mr. Kenney the Minister of Censorship. Kudos to Mr. Kenney for making George Galloway a martyr for this cause.

This decision will be a failure, for since this morning more than 1,000 people have joined the facebook group, signed the petition, and I imagine my message wasn't the only one on Kenney's answering machine. This political repression will only strengthen the anti-war cause and the BDS movement against the Apartheid State of Israel. When one knows he is losing the true desperation is evident.

Here is a video just filmed today of George Galloway facing his accuser from the Jewish Defense League, a known terrorist organization that has been operating in Toronto (and at York University) as of late :


I will see you George on March 30th before a thunderous crowd, which will be twice as large as it would have been had Kenney not made this repressive but doomed to fail decision.
