Galloway Threatens to Sue Canada
Malevolent, terror-supporting British MP George Galloway has been barred from entering Canada, and now he’s threatening to sue.
OTTAWA — An outspoken British MP who’s opposed to the war in Afghanistan says he intends to take legal action against the federal government over its decision to refuse him entry to Canada.
George Galloway, an MP for the U.K.’s Respect party, says he learned Friday he would not be allowed into this country for a speaking tour that’s scheduled to bring him to Toronto and Ottawa later this month.
A former Labour MP, Mr. Galloway is a contentious figure whose public support for Hamas and Hezbollah has led to accusations he is a terrorist sympathizer.
“Accusations?” Yes, personally handing over thousands of dollars in cash to Hamas might tend to lead to “accusations” of that type.
UPDATE at 3/22/09 12:22:02 pm:
Mr Galloway is due to make a speech in Toronto on March 30, following a US lecture tour, but will be turned away if he tries to enter Canada.
