The Canadian Prime Minister's Office and the country's border services agency have stated they were not involved in the decision to ban the Irish language band Kneecap from entering Canada. The ban was initially announced by a Canadian parliamentarian, who cited terrorism charges against a band member, but those charges were later dismissed due to a technical error. Official documents now reveal that the ban was not based on advice from federal officials, and the actual reason for the travel restriction relates to incomplete information provided in the band member's application. Other members of the group are still awaiting a decision on their entry status. Kneecap, known for their provocative lyrics and activism, have responded to the ban with legal action and continue to attract attention for their outspoken views.
