Canadians Banned From Libya

Following a comment from Stephen Harper, Libya’s president, Mouammar Khadafi, has prohibited Canadian citizens from entering Libya.

Stephen Harper denounced the hero’s welcome given by the Libian president to a terrorist accused and imprisoned for the crime committed against a Pan-Am aircraft in Lockerbie in 1988.

The terrorist, who was freed for humanitarian reasons, received a large celebration which offended many world leaders, including Stephen Harper, who did not hide his negative comments.

On his way to the UN last month, Mouammar Khadafi specifically cancelled his flight to Newfoundland and has put a stop on any Canadians receiving a visa to enter his country.
