Blow it out you're ass Galloway.

By anti war, you mean terrorist supporter? Yeah, I agree with riden, he can go fuck himself.
DrCaleb @ Fri Mar 20, 2009 12:24 pm
I like the way he defends himself, but monetary support of Hamas? Sorry George. Out you stay.

Yep, if you talk the talk and then walk the walk there is a price to pay.

The media is fabricating this whole situation. The man supports both politically and monetarily, organizations on Canada's terrorist list. That clearly falls under "national security" threat and is a reason to bar him entry.
I don't care if he is anti-war or wants to speak his rubbish, but if he gives money to organization recognized by this country as terrorist groups, keep him the hell out.

Immigration has the right to stop anyone from entering Canada as is their right under the law....see above...and the minister does not have to overturn Immigrations decision even though it is in his power to do so. I am curious though who wrote the law....I am willing to bet JC was PM at the time though.

I don't see him as a distinct threat to Canada, but financially supporting a terrorist organization goes too far. Keep him out...

He's just an all-out wanker and a traitor.
Schnek @ Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:18 pm
I don't understand the debate here, he's proven to monetarily support enemies of Canada, the posters on the article are funny as hell, were not blocking the ideologies he holds, but the fact that he's supporting factions killing Canadians. where's the problem?

No surprise Taliban Jack's better half thinks he should be allowed in.

Hey, if it involves banning something--or someone--the right wingers on this forum are four-square behind it. If there's one thing they can't stand, it's freedom of speech.

Or it's about not allowing someone into the country who financially backs terrorist groups, but hey what's facts got to do with an argument anyway.
