Lift the ban on George Galloway: Kenney Proves Harper is a Hypocrite!
March 20, 2009
Don Currie, Chair, Canadians for Peace and Socialism
Dear Friends
A national outcry must immediately be organized and the opposition caucuses in Parliament, all organized labour, democratic, people’s and peace organizations of the whole country and Quebec, must speak with one voice to condemn this outrageous gag order by the Harper minority Conservative Government’s on the right of Brother Galloway to speak to the Canadian people.
Only days after permitting former US President George Bush, who now represents no one but himself, to enter Canada pick up a large fee and speak in Calgary to a blue ribbon upscale US energy crowd, the Harper minority Conservatives deny entry to a democratically elected British MP one of Tony Blair's and Bush's most effective critics. So much for Jason Kenney’s upholding the rights of Canadians to hear "both sides of the story".
The only threat Brother Galloway presents to Canada is to the pro-war factions in this country that support US-NATO wars as a means to make money out of the death and misery of the Palestinian, Afghan and Iraqi people.
Drop the ban on Galloway now! Let him speak!
