saw the same interview myself Shaker ..Canada has more or less the same rules on freedom of speech as here in the UK.. they rejected Galloway for reasons of he could be a threat to National Security.. the same reasons can be used here.. there's no doubt in my mind he can be classed as a threat if he was intending to incite opposition to the Canadian forces active in Afganistan.. as Eric has told us this is at time when the Canadian troops have suffered men killed today... I don't blame them for blocking Galloway.
