Irish rap group Kneecap has been barred from entering Canada, according to a post from Toronto MP Vince Gasparro. “We have deemed the group Kneecap ineligible to enter our country. Our government will not tolerate the advocating of political violence, terrorism or Anti-Semitism and hate more broadly,” Gasparro wrote on X Friday. The trio was scheduled to perform two shows in Toronto, and another two in Vancouver, in October. “The group have amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas,” said Gasparro, who serves as the parliamentary secretary to the secretary of state for combatting crime. Canada’s move follows a similar decision from Hungary earlier this summer. Authorities there argued the musicians’ presence in the country would constitute a risk to national security. The Belfast-based group, made up of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (Mo Chara), Naoise Ó Cairealláin (Móglaí Bap), and J.J. Ó Dochartaigh (DJ Próvaí), has frequently drawn headlines for its politically charged performances. Earlier this year, Britian’s Home Office confirmed it was reviewing musical duo Bob Vylan for leading on-stage chants of “death, death to the IDF” during the Glastonbury music festival over the summer, while Kneecap led chants against U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and condemned Israel in front of a huge crowd. #ctvnews #news #canada #kneecap
