Censorship In Canada: Hamas Movement

Robert Mugabe Dept: But several recent cases point to a troubling growing problem with opinion-suppression, not to say censorship, in Canada, according to Montreal Gazette. But when Galloway did show up in Canada for his belated speaking tour, freedom of speech again was at issue. Only this time, it was Galloway's critics who found themselves under siege and suppressing freedom of speech is a practice most Canadians associate with Burmese generals and Robert Mugabe -not Ontario universities, provincial courts or federal cabinet ministers. Jason Kenney, federal immigration minister, had his knuckles rapped by the Federal Court last month for suggesting that former British MP George Galloway would not be allowed into the country because he had donated money to Gaza's government, run by the Hamas movement, which Ottawa deems to be a terrorist organization. The court ruled that the Conservative government had acted politically in trying to suppress Galloway's right to speak. As reported in the news.
