The people vs Jason Kenney
July 24 has been declared by groups of citizens across the country as the People vs Jason Kenney Day. A national day of action has been organized to protest what many believe to be the most regressive Citizenship and Immigration Minister Canada has seen.
The Calgary-Southwest MP has attracted a lot of controversy as Citizenship and Immigration Minister since being appointed to the position in 2008. Although denying his involvement, the citizenship guide put out by his department omits the rights of the LGBTQ community. He pulled Canada out of the Durban World Conference against Racism and assisted in preventing controversial British MP George Galloway from entering Canada for his support of Hamas.
Kenney was first elected in 1997 as a Reform Party candidate.
