George Galloway banned from Canada
• Anti-war MP banned on grounds of national security
• 'This idiotic ban shames Canada,' says Galloway
Anti-war MP George Galloway has been banned from Canada, it emerged today.
A Canadian spokesman confirmed that the Respect MP had been deemed inadmissible on national security grounds and would not be allowed into the country.
Galloway today branded the ban "idiotic" and vowed to fight the ruling with "all means" at his disposal. He is due to give a speech in Toronto on 30 March.
Earlier today the Sun said border security officials had declared Galloway, 54, "inadmissible" because of his views on Afghanistan and the presence of Canadian troops there and would be turned away if he attempted to enter the country.
A spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada said the decision had been taken by border security officials "based on a number of factors" in accordance with section 34(1) of the country's immigration act

7. This country is becoming as idiotic as the bush administration
And just as secretive. This is totally assinine, and I can see I shall be spending today writing letters.
Here are a couple pictures of visitors to the US for you Canada-worshipping, America-hating DUmmies:
Neither of those fellows had pleasant things to say about America, but they were let in while W was in office.
Which makes me wonder: Which is worse, Canada, or North Korea?
