Leading up to the scheduled court hearing, supporters on both sides of the dispute gathered in front of the courthouse in downtown Toronto. Anti war demonstrators and freedom of speech advocates were protesting on the north side of Queen Street West on Monday morning, while representatives of the Jewish Defence League protested on the south side. Controversial British MP George Galloway will have to wait until Wednesday to try to have his ban from visiting Canada overturned in Federal Court. Supporters of British MP George Galloway, who was denied entry to Canada in March 2009, want Federal Court to let him visit. When Galloway was denied entry to the country in early 2009, the federal government said it was because of his support of Palestinian militant group Hamas. But the MP and his supporters believe he was barred because the Conservatives didn't want him to deliver an anti war message. As
