This is ridiculous. Galloway is a peace activist, not a terrorist. Please also check out his audio interview with the Ottawa Citizen;
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/British+denied+entry+threatens+Harper+government/1410365/story.html

and coverage by the Israeli paper, Ha'aretz;
http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072688.html

The UK Channel 4 News says in the above broadcast, "after an open letter of protest from Canada's Jewish Defense League, he's been declared inadmissable under the country's immigration act".

Way to go, JDL, you just barred a sitting British MP from entering the country.

Another triumph for the Harper Homeland!

1. Yet they let our war criminal, former head of state enter freely

Harper needs to go.

3. The ultimate message here is no dissenting voice, Galloway wasn't speaking against Canada itself >

just against the concept of war. Blessed are the peace makers as one fella once said.

George Galloway "It's my Catholic faith that tells me all war is wrong."

2. Are there no former Palestinians living in Canada ?? This decision don't make sense >

for all Galloway has ever said he has no record of violence just peace making. It's astonishing what this man of peace does face. If he had denounced Canada a person could understand but acknoledging a matter of fact is a very odd reason to be barred from going Canada
