George Galloway to Return to Toronto Oct 2nd!

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 29, 2010

Galloway set to arrive in Toronto on Saturday, address rally on Sunday
Supporters plan to welcome former British MP at airport

Former British MP George Galloway will arrive in Toronto on Saturday,
October 2 to resume his pan-Canadian speaking tour after being prevented
from entering Canada in March 2009. A welcome rally that includes tour
organizers, supporters and Mr. Galloway's legal counsel will assemble at
5:00 p.m. at the Terminal 1 arrivals gate at Lester B. Pearson International
Airport. Upon Mr. Galloway's arrival, he will hold a 15-minute media
conference at the gate.

"I am elated by the recent Federal Court decision, and now look forward to
returning to Canada," said Mr. Galloway. Justice Mosley's decision has
refuted Jason Kenney's ridiculous claims about me, and has confirmed that
the attempt to keep me out of Canada was purely a political one.

On Sunday, October 3 at 3:00 p.m., Mr. Galloway will address a city-wide
public meeting at Trinity-St. Paul's United Church, 427 Bloor Street in
downtown Toronto, where he will deliver in person the message he was forced
to deliver by Internet broadcast in March 2009.

"Our fight in the Federal Court has been a long one, but well worth the
wait," said James Clark, a tour organizer and member of the Toronto
Coalition to Stop the War. Following the Court's decision, we are hopeful
that the government will no longer attempt to ban critics of its foreign
policy, and that Galloway can finally meet in person the many people in
Canada waiting to see him for the last 18 months.
