Excerpt:

The Western Standard reported extensively on the decision by Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to ban British Member of Parliament George Galloway from Canada for his anti-war views.

Galloway was deemed inadmissible to Canada in March on national security grounds under Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, although no information was publicly released as to precise "threat to national security" Galloway posed.

The decision generated outrage from the anti-war left, but also from conservative circles, including National Post columnist Lorne Gunter who wrote:

Galloway is an elected British MP. That doesn't excuse him if his purpose is to break Canada's anti-terror laws. But until he has broken them, until he has stood on a podium in this country and asked, directly, for donations to Hamas or Hezbollah or Islamic Jihad, we have no reason to bar him from entering the country.
