Found this thread when I was searching for the thread about the MP being banned from Canada.

A gem. 11 pages. Although strange how people seem to have no problem with Galloway's views.
Either way....

OTTAWA — Conservative politicians did not instigate the move to bar outspoken British MP George Galloway from entering Canada, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said yesterday.
The Canada Border Services Agency has told Mr. Galloway that an aid convoy he led into Gaza earlier this month amounted to engaging in terrorism and being a member of a terrorist organization because he said he would donate the aid to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
Mr. Galloway, who has four speaking engagements scheduled in Canada next week, is a five-term British MP who was kicked out of Tony Blair's Labour Party in 2003 for statements opposing the Iraq war.
Mr. Kenney said Mr. Galloway is being barred for providing financial and material support to Hamas, not for his views, and the decision won't be overruled.

The NDP and various aid organizations have accused the Tories of political interference in the border agency's decision.
