I don't blame them for blocking Galloway.

I am sure the Canadian goverment will come under criticism from many regarding freedom of speech etc etc.
Canada is using common sense.Britain should take a page out of the Canadian book

Re: M.P. not welcome in Canada ...
I know that Galloway has been refused entry because he is automatically labelled as a terrorist threat, but I haven't got a clue why this has been sustained.

Yes, I agree that Galloway shouldn't be let in to Canada.

Kingston is almost exactly halfway between Montreal and TO ... and if I get the yen to visit a major city, I choose St Catherine's over Yonge Street every time.

Re: M.P. not welcome in Canada ...
Galloway appealed the govt. decision ... and the Federal Court of Appeals upheld the decision of the Govt. of Canada ... so, he won't be coming here ... sometimes the govt. gets things right ... bottom line is: Canada considers Hamas to be a terrorist organization (that's a no-brainer), and anyone with links to any organization that Canada deems "terrorist" is not allowed into our country. Canada is our home; and we will decide who comes in.

I only wish that the UK would stick to the same criteria, but alas.

Would it be possible to send Brown and Smith over there for some lessons Eric, I think Britain is the only country in the world that any Tom, Dick and Abdul can come here, be refused entry and then allowed to stay indefinitely. However, one bright spot, yesterday an appeals court judge ruled that people who have been refused entry to this country are not allowed free medical care, which is a step in the right direction I suppose, that is until a human rites lawyer from "Noneses are Us" takes up the fight on their behalf

Re: M.P. not welcome in Canada ...
I think that the judge who heard the case over the weekend hit the nail on the head when he said that anyone who is not a Canadian does not have a "right" to enter Canada; entry into Canada is a "privilege, not a right".
