Pakistani politician and former cricket player - Imran Khan is scheduled to speak in Toronto next week.

Imran Khan has made public comments in support of the Taliban and their jihad against "foreign occupiers", i.e. he condones attacks on Canadians Soldiers  I cannot understand how the Canadian government can allow someone like this to enter Canada. He is not only coming to give a speech he is also coming to raise funds for his political party the "PTI". How much of this money will go to support the Taliban and be used to kill our soldiers?
Obviously this is a very serious issue and I would HOPE that members of the Canadian military, their families, friends and supporters, will turn out next week to protest the appearance of Imran Khan when he speaks at the Pearson Convention Centre on October 25th. "Imran Khan says Taliban's 'holy war' in Afghanistan is justified by Islamic law"

He came to Brampton and apparently didn't say or do anything terrible. Then left for New York, was questioned by US Customs for an hour and then they let him continue on to New York.

Pretty boring.

Did he raise money for the cause ?

He's a publicity hound and achieved what he was after.

It's all about getting his name in the news.

Of course he raised money, it was a fundraising trip for his political career.

This is a description of his visit. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1278423--imran-khan-pakistani-politician-s-whirlwind-trip-to-canada-ends-with-questioning-from-u-s-officials
