Jason Kenney in trouble?
Court documents put spotlight on minister in banning of British MP
By Cathryn Atkinson | April 19, 2010


The controversy behind the Canadian banning of outspoken British anti-war MP George Galloway is set to deepen -- with potentially damaging implications for the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Jason Kenney, and others.

-snip-

Publicly accessible Federal Court documents discuss a short but intense campaign on the part of Kenney's office and government officials to keep Galloway out of Canada, and the incredible lengths they were willing to go to do so. The documents number several hundred pages and include emails, memos, government letters, articles, and court files.

Significant pages from this dossier are linked to throughout this story, and through them rabble.ca paints a new picture of the ban from what the government has previously claimed. Minister Kenney has personally claimed that neither he nor his staff "had been in direct touch with CBSA officials" over Galloway's status. The documents contradict this and raise new questions about the case.

And why, I ask you? Galloway was no threat to ANYone.

1. Amazing difference in the attitudes to Coulter and Galloway
Both obviously had a right to speak. But Galloway was treated like a criminal, while Coulter was not.

2. Isn't there though?
Coulter was treated like a celebrity who refused to be gagged by Canadian 'free speech' laws, while Galloway was hinted to be practically a terrorist and too dangerous to even allow in the country. Talk about a double standard!

4. Gee, I thought for a sec that someone got Jason Kenney pregnant.
Jason should know that you can get pregnant even if it's the first time you have sex.

Has anyone popped this guy's cherry yet? Maybe if he got laid he wouldn't be such a bitch.
