CanadaImmigrants.com Desk - 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 banned because the Conservatives didn't want him to deliver an anti war message. Galloway will not appear in the Toronto court himself because of the ban. Instead, his lawyer will cite emails from within the office of Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, claiming they show it was Kenney, and not the Canada Border Services Agency Leading up to the court hearing, supporters on both sides of the dispute have been gathering in front of the courthouse in downtown Toronto. Anti war demonstrators and freedom of speech advocates are protesting on the north side of Queen Street West on Monday morning, while representatives of the Jewish Defense League are protesting on the other. As reported in the news.
