Canadian government asked to clarify whether Kneecap barred from country
Opposition party says minister ‘either lied or has no clue how it works’ when he said band were ‘ineligible’ to enter
Canada’s opposition party has asked the government to clarify if the Belfast rap trio Kneecap have been barred from the country, after doubts emerged whether the group was ever officially banned.
The Liberal MP Vince Gasparro, the parliamentary secretary for combating crime, posted a video on social media on 19 September, in which he said Kneecap were “ineligible” to enter Canada.
