Politician banned from Canada for antiwar views

George Galloway is a Scottish author and longtime member of Britain's Parliament best known for his opposition to the illegal Iraq War.

In the Labour Party's rush to the far right, the party expelled Galloway in 2003 because of his antiwar position and because he correctly stated that Bush was a liar.

Galloway was scheduled to speak at 2 University of Toronto campuses later this month about Middle East violence. But today, Canada's Harper administration announced that Galloway was not allowed to set foot in the country because of his antiwar views. (Ooh, an Allowed Cloud!)

Of course, Stephen Harper has already tried to dissolve Canada's Parliament because it doesn't want to reinstall him as Prime Minister. Because Harper runs Canada like a dictatorship, who's surprised that he keeps war opponents out (even though he lets war criminals like Bush in)?

If the Harper regime is going to ban George Galloway, then they're going to have to ban me too, because (like Galloway) I've been against the Iraq War from the get-go.
