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.

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.
