On September 27, the Federal Court of Canada issued a 60-page ruling that exposed the political interference of "the highest levels of government" in trying to keep former British MP George Galloway out of Canada. The ruling found that "the main reason why [the government] sought to prevent Mr. Galloway from entering Canada was that they disagreed with his political views.

This is a MAJOR VICTORY for Galloway and the social movements in Canada. The ruling also clears the way for Galloway to return to Canada.



Please join us for a city-wide public meeting on Sunday, October 3 to hear George Galloway - in person - speak about his fight to overturn the ban, and about our common struggle to end war and occupation in Palestine, Afghanistan and around the world.
