Federal Cabinet Minister: Ismail Haniya

Prime Minister Ismail Dept: George Galloway says Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has yet to account for his role in preventing the former British MP from entering Canada 18 months ago. Alastair Grant/Associated Press In a statement on Wednesday from London, Galloway reiterated his challenge to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to a public debate in Calgary, saying the minister "has yet to account for his role in trying to keep me out of Canada.", according to CBC. Galloway, who donated 25,000 $40,557 Cdn to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya in the Gaza Strip in March 2009, had planned a Canadian speaking tour to voice opposition to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He cancelled his visit when he learned he would be denied entry and controversial former British MP George Galloway has announced a cross-Canada speaking tour that will include a stop in the riding of a federal cabinet minister who previously barred him from entering the country. Kenney's office declared 18 months ago ahead of Galloway's planned speaking tour that he would not be welcome in Canada, noting the former MP provided financial support to the Palestinian group Hamas, which the Canadian government considers a terrorist organization.
