I doubt that is a rational solution to anything.
Many of them could still be war refugees escaping. In my opinion an investigation should be made over members of the ship for past links with the LTTE. Tamil civilians are escaping because of conditions in their home country.
Remember giving them refugee status and their children Canadian status will cause no harm to Canada. These people will forever be grateful to Canada and will see themselves as Canadians. Its what happens.
Its hard to understand this fear of immigrants when the talk of the town is of diversity and Canada showcasing its diversity. Its something to be proud of that Canada is a safe haven for people oppressed or living in poor conditions in their own countries or escaping war and bloodshed. Try to understand the immigrants rather than blame them. They can be very useful members of society
Bullshit in droves. These people started an revolution and when it went south they decided that it was time to fuck off and illegally enter our country since it's known around the world as a safe haven for "refugees". Once here the Tigers appear to have every intent of formenting their rebellion from the safety of a democracy.
And if you don't believe me here's a link:
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columb ... ouver.htmlRefugees my ass. Their list of accomplishments goes on and on and on. They trained with the PLO, are linked to Al Qaeda, were responsible for forcibly removing, or "ethnically cleansing", Sinhalese and Muslim inhabitants from areas under their control, and using violence against those who refused to leave. The evictions happened in the north in 1990, and the east in 1992 etc etc etc.
No wonder they want out. They've caused so much hate and animosity with the people that they didn't kill outright that they probably do have a good reason to fear for their lives. But with that being said, why do we need them here formenting rebellion and living off our dime while they do it.
So what, you'll blow the entire ship up and any civilians that happen to be in the ship are blown to smithereens?
I am not defending the organization. But the fact is the entire ship is not made up of tamil tigers. The organization hides among civilians and thats how it survived in sri lanka so long. There may be LTTE members hiding among civilians on that ship true but why should the civilians be affected? Also LTTE is known to have used slave soldiers forcing people within their control areas to fight for them or using civilians as human shields. Should these people just be treated as the original cadre of LTTE?
What any security service will do and should do in this case is a background check for any links the LTTE on members of the ship. No links u go free get refugee status and are well on ur way to become a productive Canadian citizen in the future. Otherwise u're deported and pack ur bags and go home. Proper judicial process no doubt will take place. It happens in Pakistan, USA, Uk or anywhere you go.
That is what CBSA or any other service involved will do. I doubt Canada will even give a thought to a suggestion such as nuking the ship. But if you are so frustrated that the government operates this way you could definitely start a petition or something...
