HAMILTON, ON. – Former British MP George Galloway will continue his Canadian speaking tour with an engagement at Hamilton’s McMaster University, Sunday evening.

Galloway has been a passionate advocate for the Palestinians, and last year was banned from entering Canada because of his alleged support of Hamas, which Ottawa considers a terrorist group.

He was allowed in this year after a judge slammed the Harper government’s treatment of him.
