Well, UK and Australia also did the same thing this morning so I guess the three of us all are all getting tariffed then?Queue the 100% tarriffs and visas for Canadians.
Or allowing IDF soldiers to return to Canada after shooting children.Whether Kneecap promotes hate speech and/or terrorism that's up for individuals to decide and not governments...
...I mean this sitting government didn't seem to have an issue giving a standing ovation for Kirk's eulogizing on the Common's floor the other day, who had a history of promoting stuff that would likely fall under hate speech and promoting terrorism using their definitions. So I am not sure why this would be any different here...outside of political expediency.
Watching the video, it seemed the applause was more for denouncing political violence and protecting free speech.Whether Kneecap promotes hate speech and/or terrorism that's up for individuals to decide and not governments...

These recognitions of the State of Palestine seem mostly symbolic affirmations of what should've resulted after the Oslo Accords in 1993. As long as Trump and Netanyahu remain in charge, effects will likely be minimal on the ground.
No, they are not promoting hate speech or supporting terror organizations. They are condemning the actions of Israel in Gaza and, in particular, the IDF, which has committed and is continuing to commit countless war crimes too numerous to mention. You must be conflating criticism of Israel with "antisemitism" or something.
Who are the real terrorists? If you ask me, the real terrorists are the ones dropping 2000lb bombs on tents where families are sheltering, blowing babies to bits. The real terrorists are the ones sniping little kids in the head as they play. The real terrorists are the people summarily executing medics and food aid workers. The real terrorists are the ones shooting at starving people who are lined up to receive food aid. The real terrorists are the ones targeting for assassination 270 journalists and counting (including a Canadian). The real terrorists are the ones bombing hospitals and on and on, and they are nuclear armed!
The irony of course is that Kneecap are not even banned from performing in the UK. Where the trumped up charges originated from.One band member is facing terrorism charges in the UK. And rightfully so, I can see why Canada banned them.
A member of Irish language hip-hop group Kneecap has been charged with a terror offence after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a London gig.

It's horrible on both sides, but you seem to ignore all the the sexual violence by and beheading of gay people by Hamas, which is just as utterly deplorable as bombing babies to bits by Israel. You seem to be very one sided and brain washed by Hamas propaganda.
Being LGBTQI+ in Palestine means:1) Up to 10 years in Prison for being Gay 2) Physical violence including beheadings, assault & torture 3) No civil laws protecting LGBT from discrimination or harassment4) LGBT groups are banned from holding any events or parades

So why is Canada giving in to the pro-genocode Israel lobby?
I don't know UK law but suspect it might easier to ban entry to a country by non-citizens, particularly for business travel, than it would be to ban a performance in the UK by UK citizens.The irony of course is that Kneecap are not even banned from performing in the UK. Where the trumped up charges originated from.
