Canada is a ridiculous excuse for a country. Kenney bunk by Douglas Bell, today at 12:11 PM EDT I realize I'm piling on here, but Jason Kenney's decision to confirm his department's decision to bar George Galloway from entering Canada because he's a “threat to our national security” is a flying jibe for a party trying to tack to the center. It allows Michael Ignatieff to straddle an issue that gives him credibility on both sides without spending one penny of political capital. "If he's being barred on free speech grounds," Ignatieff said, "that's an outrage. You can come to Canada and talk rubbish all day long as far as I'm concerned. If there's a security threat, that's another matter, and I've heard no evidence yet that he presents a security threat. And of course if there is one, as a responsible public official I will accept what security services say on Mr. Galloway." George Galloway is the Fantasia Barrino of the looney left — an entertaining force of nature who's only ever singing to the choir. There's no point in interrupting him or even engaging with him. He's dusted Norm Coleman and Christopher Hitchens where they live. And now he's going to do the same thing to the Conservative Party of Canada; all of which could have been avoided if Jason Kenney had just let him into the country and got out of the way. Galloway wouldn't have changed a mind or a vote. Now even the Globe is forced to bitch slap the Tories; proving yet again that you can lead a neocon to water but you can't make him think. business.theglobeandmail.com
