George Galloway spoke to Canada 30 March 2009 via the Internet after a federal judge upheld a government ban that denied him entry to Canada. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers held an event at the Halifax Citadel Hotel to broadcast the Galloway feed from Toronto.
Galloway challenged Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to "come out and debate with me like a man, face to face" and suggested Kenney may be to cowardly to face the Canadian public.
