This is good. I am glad that Tamil Canadians can look for representation from the Liberal party. If their voice here gets loud enough in parliament, Canada could someday be a part of a diplomatic effort to bring peace to Sri Lanka.

Supporting the Tamil people and supporting the terrorist group that kills their people and uses violence to extort funds to support their murder are two very different things.

Liberal support for terrorists is nothing new, just last year two federal liberals marched in a parade supporting Hezbollah in Montreal. A group that IS on the banned terror group list.

[Delwin]

Supporting groups who support terror is nothing new to the conservatives either. On April 6, 2006, Jason Kenney Attended a rally for Mujaheedin-e-Khalq, a known Iranian terrorist organization.

The difference was, Kenney was at a rally in direct support of Mujaheedin-e-Khalq, the liberals were at peace rallies where terrorist supporters were present. You see the distinction ?

but the tamil tigers are a know terrorist organization , why on earth would the liberal party want to work with this group ?
obvivously there only working with them to get votes and win these seats in the toronto area.

[Delwin]

Yes but Tamil Canadians have never been charged with terrorist crimes, so why the prejudicial condemnation of your fellow Canadians ?

Just because other Tamils are terrorists doesn't mean we should paint them all with the same brush. Tamil Canadians deserve a voice in politics, and I'm glad the NDP and Liberals are willing to address that. I would hate to consider what their plight would be if their interests were left up to the Conservatives.

The same NDP and Liberals that are against our soldiers ?


you guys disgust me

Quite the spin there. You must have invented the whirligig.

Tamils are a terrorist organisation and the fact is indisputable.

You and people with the same fractured thinking emboldens these terrorists. Shame on you.

That is a complete and utter fabrication. The "Tamils" are an ethnic group of people indiginous to Sri Lanka. The LTTE are a terrorist organization. Saying that all Tamils are terrorists is hate speech and should be illegal.

It is no different than saying all Palestinians are terrorists, or all Irish Catholics are terrorists. I hope someday you meet a Tamil Canadian to clear up this misconceptioin for you. I have met may whom are dedicated,peace loving, tax paying contributors to our society.

Time to put away the whirligig. So I omitted the word "Tigers", whoopsy doo and yes I have met one (I taught him for six months) and yes he donated money to the terrorist organisation. No misconceptions there.

[Delwin]

So you taught him within the last 14 months ?

You see, the Tamil Tigers were added to Canada's list of terrorist organizations in April 06. 14 months ago. So if you taught him for 6 months, he would have had to reveal that he was actively sending money within this time frame to have been contributing to a terrorist organization. So not only would he have had to disclose that he was sending money to the LTTE, he would have had to have proven he did so in the last 14 month in order for you to substantiate that claim. In other words, you are lying again.

Wonder why the Liberals never placed them on the list when they have always been terrorists. Votes I guess. What kinda soap do you use to remove that stink?

Jason Kenney was being a bonehead in that particular situation. He was on his way into the Parliament building, and passed their rally on the way in. Seeing Iranian flags, he took a megaphone from one of the rally leaders, and announced that he supports any group that wants to liberate Iran.

He didn't even know what group he was speaking to.

Stupid. Really, really stupid.


Another point to be added about the Tamil Tigers: the first girl I dated while in University was from Sri Lanka. She and her family are Tamils. They left Sri Lanka to get away from the Tamil Tigers.

I believe it may be because the leaders at the time did not see how it would contribute to the peace process at the time. The LTTE and the government signed a ceasefire in 2002 that was followed by subdued violence in the region. There was the Tsunami in 2004, which left both sides unprepared for war, and it wasn't until 2006, that Eelam war IV broke out.

India had them listed in 1991, after an assasination on their PM. The U.S. had them listed since 1997, Britain, Australia in 2001, and Canada, and EU in 2006, following a suicide bombing which killed 64 people on a bus.

I think part of the reason is because Canada was interested in resolving the conflict through peaceful means, the Tamil tigers were viewed more as a rebel army than a Terrorist group on account of their size and equipment, and they were actually attempting to resume peace talks which seemed productive.

In retrospect, they should have been listed long before, but when attempting to broker peace, attaching the label seems counter-productive.

I agree it was a mistake, but I believe it was a decision made with the best intentions.

Hayzeus man, spinning around a time frame, he said what he said, thats a fact. The tigers have carried out terrorist actions looooong before the Canadian government finally put them on the list.
