It's not your doing, but I'm not going to sit through an ad to see it.

Banning people from countries has often proven to be silly. The US once banned former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau - while a cabinet member - from entering the US because Trudeau had visited a communist country, the USSR.

Interestingly, while during that trip to the USSR, Trudeau was almost arrested by the KGB for throwing snowballs at the statues of Lenin.

Trudeau was a pretty decent guy.
Tough I did sit through the ad (wasn't long) It bothered me that he was refused.
So far, he's done nothing to really warrent a banning. But I think the gov't fears him and his stance.
It happens, and it's not always right.
Though at least he was able to make his speech to Canadians (who watch the hour at least) and made a bit of a point.

Yes, free speech is alive and well in Canada.

Although it does seem their government decides

who should speak.

I think you will find the 'fund raising' came in the
shape of food and medical supplies for the people
of Gazza.
What have you done for these unfortunate people?

A similar subjective opinion said a few years ago that Galloway was profiting from "oil for food scandal". It turned out it was actually friends of the accusers who did the dirty trading. The majority of Iraqi oil Saddam sold in the 1990s was bought by US oil companies.

Given the history of false accusations and who Galloway's accusers are, I'm tempted to believe him first.

And just what was so dirty about it? You should argue against the U.N., which despite multiple resolutions, did NOTHING about Saddam Hussein.

Hon, I know he's persona non-grata to lefty's, but read Christopher Hitchen's web site where all the arguments and facts about what Galloway did are posted.

What unfortunate people? The Jews or the Palestinians?
