When the concept of multiculturalism was introduced to Canadians, most assumed it meant "more pavilions at Folkfest".
"25,000 more Tamil protesters to disrupt Ottawa traffic"

Exactly how does a city the size of Toronto end up with a 200,000 strong immigrant community from one insignificant patch on an equally insignificant island on the other side of the planet?











What country are we in?
It's simple: tear gas and rubber bullets. I'm getting sick of the extent to which our multi-culti political class and enforcement agencies allow such nonsense.
And they are protesting WITHOUT obtaining the proper permits from the city. There must be 2 sets of laws in this country because the police/city/province is just sitting back doing nothing but if it was white farmers demonstrating with no permits they would get their arse hauled off to jail. The bill so far to the taxpayers of Ottawa for police/fire department/ambulance is somewhere around 1 million dollars for this drum banging/terrorist flag waving Tamil gang.

Jake and Elwood have the right idea.
Hey, that's RACIST!!! Brown people are allowed to do whatever they want because of Colonialism. And besides, SHUT UP!

I am very sure they left their homeland and came to Canada because we have an inferior culture. We Canadians citizens don't understand that we need to clean up their homeland for them so they can go back.
Perhaps we need to ask Paul Martin to come back out of the closet to help them.
The new Tamil theme song should be:leavin..on a jet plane... I'll hum it for them if they want.
If they are not happy here, they are more than welcome to leave and go back to where their standard of living is obviously so much better. I would like to see how their protests would end in Sri Lanka.
Ah, people are dying? Then stop killing them.
Last election when I pointed out the Liberals were fund raising from this group the G&M pulled the post. That is their right, it is their paper but the clip I posted had the Tiger flag with the Liberal speaking in front of it. As the Phantom said SHUT UP.
I don't see why Canada isn't totally responsible for the mess in Sri Lanka. Hey, maybe we should invade the place! That would make everyone so happy.
Nothing to see there. Just a bunch of racist redneck teabaggers from the Republican Party. Big flop. Hahaha. Those crazy rightwingnuts, huh!
In other CNN news, Obama farted and witnesses said it smelled like flowers... Awesome, isn't it? What a great President! Greatest of all time!
Excuse me. Just being a little sarcastic there...
I'm still trying to figure out their logic. How exactly is pissing off everyone in Ottawa suppose to help their cause??
You know, I am on the verge of saying 'Screw it'. Seriously. You, North Americans, are so F4CKING tolerant to the oppressive governments and draconian laws, that you deserve what you get. Get up from your knees, don't you have any human dignity left??? I am qualified to say that, I stood in front of the tanks trying to restore communism. Now it's your FN turn.
Teabaggers? Is that what they do when they're gay married?
Poor gays. Even the lefties are now turning against them.
Tamils go home! Tamils go home! Tamils go home!
So a mob of thousands punishes their host country to show how angry and dedicated they are about a cause in a county they fled. And what ever you do, don't ask why they don't return home to fix the situation.
Meanwhile government commissions tell us the real threats to diversity, peace and tolerance in Canada are politically incorrect blogs.

Meh... it's end game for the heroic Tigers... the Sri Lanka army is about to wipe them out forever, and Tamil civilians are more than happy to get the heck out of dodge. I feel sorry for the Tamils being used by the Tigers as human shields. For the protestors on Parliament Hill? No sympathy whatsoever - to call them hypocrits is insulting run-of-the-mill hypocrits everywhere. Too many Tiger supporters in that crowd for them to shed crocodile tears, considering how many Tamil politicians working towards peace the Tigers have assassinated. I just hope the naive fools on the Hill aren't infiltrated by die-hard Tiger supporters, because when the Sri Lanka army finally finishes one of the world's most vicious terrorist organisations in the next few days, some die-hard is gonna want to go out with a bang - as brought to you by the inventors of the suicide bomber. Not that I'd mourn the dupes (as I do the ordinary Tamil folks who got blown up by the Tigers as they tried to escape), but I'd hardly want some innocent to pay for this utter madness. And my municipal taxes are going to pay for the trash and damage these cretins are and will do to downtown.
We are a free country and so I don't see what the problem is. Free speech applies to all Canadians including immigrants. As for why we have so many, it is no different than Toronto having a huge Portuguese community, or a large Ukrainian community in Saskatchewan or Dutch community in Southwestern Ontario. These are not massive countries yet we have large concentrations of these groups who came at different times. We can argue whether we have too much or too little immigration, but our immigration laws should be fair in which nationality and race play no role in deciding who comes and who doesn't, rather it is one's own qualifications that decide if they get in. A Sri Lankan who has a Medical doctor degree should get preference over a white British prospective immigrant who dropped out of high school.
You don't get it. The point is to show us that the streets and the universities are no longer ours.
C'mon Kate, Paul Martin told us that the Tamils are good folk. The ones in Canada only raise money for thier 'peaceful' purposes like hospitals and schools....
I think I should import the methods of my ancestors, the HUNS. Nothing like bringing to Canada the politics of the 'old country'.
I rather suspect, even the atheists will be on their knees, praying to God that I don't lose my faith.
Of course Paul Martin did said he was going to change the way Ottawa operates 'come HELL or HIGHWATER'.
We deliver, would that be eat in or take out?

You should know that you have to fact check the Toronto Star. According to Stats Canada 2006 Census, there are 29,245 Tamils in Toronto. That's nowhere close to 200,000. In fact, there are only 34,590 in all of Canada.
According to the CIA Fact Book "more than 200,000 Tamils have sought refuge in the West (July 2009 est.)" I guess Toronto really does think it's the centre of the universe as the Star must have assumed "the West" and "Toronto" are equivalent.
Nicola is right.
I was on Parliament Hill for the Good Friday procession. About the same number of people in each group. We had a police escort of a few officers. The Tigers were behind the barricades with a phalanx of police. They were quiet and watchful but with an slight air of menace. It felt to me that the Tigers were giving US permission to be there.
The scariest thing about the protest was the Toronto media the day it happened.
All the Toronto stations (radio and TV) were all tripping over themselves to say how "well organized and peaceful" the protest was, and how "they were doing their best not to disturb" the public.
No mention of terrorist flags, in fact, you wouldn't even have known they were flying everywhere unless you were trying to get through it. No mention of what they represent other than "building awareness to stop the conflict in their home country"
Do you think they had orders on specific messaging from the braintrust not to sway public opinion?
This city and its propaganda machine would make pre WW1 Germany green with envy.

don't worry... things are gonna be different now...
"Despite leader Michael Ignatieff's vow that his party would no longer sit on its hands
during votes in Parliament, Liberal MPs have missed three times as many votes in
the House of Commons so far this year as Conservative members."
*
Of course the Tamil Tigers are marxist/leninist and so they have the support of the usual socialist rent-a-looney crowd that seem to exist in certain parts of Ontario...if you get my drift.
Miles... DO you support terroism? The Tamil Tigers, are they, or are they not a terrorist organization? Is that not what these people are waving their flags in support of? Yup more liberal voters HEY.
The Liberal Party of Canad has to import its voters.
Hence the 200,000 Tamils in the Toronto area.
Miles Lunn: "our immigration laws should be fair in which nationality and race play no role in deciding who comes and who doesn't"
Sure. Absolutely. After all we wouldn't want to base our immigration policies on actual experience would we?
There's no reason we should consider someone from Auckland more likely to adapt to Canadian customs and values than someone from Peshawar. No reason to believe that someone from Norway will be less inclined towards gunplay and gangsta behavior than a young man from Jamaica.
Nope. Everybody on the planet starts from the same place. Clean slate. No assumptions.
It's the Canadian way.
According to statistics Canada, 2006 census, there are 138,675 Tamils in Canada (defined as using the Tamil language), with 110,450 in Toronto.
That's really quite a high ratio - comparable to Greek at 157, 385, and Dutch at 152,000 and Farsi (Persian). But Punjab, Urdu and Hindi, are more.
We should build them basketball courts.
Canada has slowly morphed into a Nation that is seen by outsiders as a Hotel to flee to until their plight back home is dealt with.
After only 3 years in Hotel-canada you get a Citizenship and Passport to globe-trot back to the Nation you fled or visit even more violent nations while expecting canada to bail-out your sorry A$$ once you get in trouble.
We taxpayers were Sued by a Syrian draft-dodger
that fled to canada to avoid the State Military Service at age 19 ,this Syrian aquired a gun permit in 1993 and then around 1999 had moved to Boston while leaving their family back home in canada.
With a canadian passport in hand this person went globe-trotting to Known terrorist-producing nations and hung around some shady people with possible ties to Hamas,Hezbollah,or a Militant Whahabbi Mosque in the USA.
When the RCMP and CSIS closed in on this person and found hidden hard drives and data Discs in walls and the attic of their House....the whole family fled to Tunisia to live with relatives while they DID NOT report to the Canadian Embassey
they were in the Country as "Tourists" .
When the Tunisian Security forces started to close in on the relatives for the possible ties to the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood that is banned in that Nation...the Father of the canadian family living there had headed to the local Airport and fled Tunisia by themselves for the USA.
Once they deplaned in New York's JFK Airport they were taken aside and questioned for flying by themselves as a Young/Sunni/Muslim/Male/Syrian on a Canadian passport as the Khadr family are known for to globe-trot .
The USA had Legally denied this Syrian entry to their Nation as allowed by the U.N.Charter for dealing with Non-Citizens and Tourists , BUT, Tunisia refused to let him on a Return Flight for fear of a Asylum Claim for his Family to stay in Tunisia.
So after some phone calls the USA could only find Jordan to take them in because the wife was a Orthodox/Sunni Palestinian that could meet them there for a flight back to canada.
Once the Syrian had landed in Jordan they had been nabbed by Jordanians for Questioning for awhile , then once released... a new group of Kidnapper/Bounty-Hunters took him and tortured him befor transporting him to his Homeland of Syria to face a Military Court as a Draft-Dodger that fled to canada to avoid service.
The Canadian media bought the propaganda that a "Canadian" was nabbed in New York and accused of terrorism ties and "Deported" to Syria to be Tortured into a confession that they were in Afghanistan while the Khadr's were there and saw him at an Al-Qaeda camp.
Because Canada didn't bail-out his sorry A$$ soon enough from their Homeland of Syria,a pro-Shariah Law Saudi-Funded Org. in canada supplied a team of Lawyers that launched a $400'000'000.00 dollar Lawsuit against us Taxpayers for what Jordan had done and then Syria had done.
The demands for an Inquiry was part of the Blackmail scheme to make canada appear guilty of the harm caused by a Syrian Globe-trotting with a canadian pasport ,but as the Inquiry began to wind-down from the collected evidence we saw the Lawsuit drop to $40 Million and then about $25 million.
BUT,just befor the final report we saw the Lawyers agree to a "Out of court settlement" for $10.5 Million .
How long can canada pay-out $10.5 Million dollars to every Dual-Citizen that globe-trots to dangerous Nations and then returns to canada and hires a Team of Lawyers to Sue us for any "Alleged" harm with not one piece of proof other than a selected group of Witnesses to back the claims .
I do not trust the Canadian media's version of this Tamil crisis , nor do i blindly accept the Tamil version of the events.
We have been played for Suckers for too long now and don't be surprised if the Tamils launch a massive Class-action lawsuit against us taxpayers for not bailing them out of their plight as Dual-Citizens wanting their relatives rescued and brought to canada.
We're now a Nation of cowards that fled their homelands so other people can die for their freedoms as out Tropps are expected to fight in Their wars or conflicts.
With 6.5 billion people outside of canada....how many are we expected to rescue as refugess or send canadian Soldiers to die for the freedoms we already paid for to make canada great?.
What Dictator or Thug would care about mass murder or genocides in their Nations when Suckers like canada will take-in their poor and ill cowards that choose to flee rather than fight and die for their own Childrens future with a peaceful Country?????
Thank You Mr.Trudeau , you were a coward during WW2 and you finally got your wish to make canada into your image as a nation of Cowards that fled their homelands and familes to enjoy OUR freedoms that were bought with the blood of Canadians that died for Mr.Trudeau's Right to be a coward and join the wealthy/white/liberal/Elite nabobs that gave us the Charter and Consitution which tells us what Rights we have under a Trudeau reign nation.
Wow..I was just going to ask if that was a rhetorical question Kate,
but Roger has come up with a definitive answer.
A Sri Lankan who has a Medical doctor degree should get preference over a white British prospective immigrant who dropped out of high school.
~Miles Lunn at April 20, 2009 9:54 PM
I'd take the Brit any day. Why? Because he hits the ground running, speaks English, fits in with Canadian culture and values and doesn't cost a penny of my taxes.
The Ceylonese with the Medical doctor degree?
He doesn't speak English or French so needs a ESL course, his bought his Medical doctor degree from a diploma mill and doesn't know enough about germs to wash his hands before eating, plus even though he may eventually end up driving a taxi or city bus, has never ridden in a motorized vehicle in his life before getting on a plane to Canada.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
My "dream" was what Canada was.
A Somalian arrives in Vancouver as a new immigrant to Canada . He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says ... 'Thank you Mr. Canadian for letting me in this country, giving me housing, money for food, free medical care, free education and no taxes!'
The passerby says, 'You are mistaken, I am Mexican.'
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. 'Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Canada!'
The person says, 'I not Canadian, I Vietnamese.'
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, 'Thank you for the wonderful Canada!'
That person puts up his hand and says, 'I am from Middle East, I am not Canadian!'
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, 'Are you a Canadian?'
She says , 'No, I am from Africa !'
Puzzled, he asks her, 'Where are all the Canadians ?'
The African lady checks her watch and says ...'Probably at work'
The Sri Lankans I met over her were actually catholic!!! Refugees from a war they had no interest in seeing either side win.
A minority definitiely.
Stephen said, "The Sri Lankans I met over her were actually catholic!"
That's funny. yeah, same here. The only couple I know are Catholic and own a small business. Years ago when I asked about the situation over in Sri Lanka, he just shrugged, said he lives here now, and changed the subject.
i keep telling you mugs...there were 50,000(yes folks ,fifty thousand of loyal immigrants looking for a better life in Canada aside from citizenship free medical welfare etc etc etc etc 'canadians" evacuated from lebanon after the last hamas/israeli tussle...
how did we ever grant 50,000 passports(and this is only ONE small country) to people who live offshore pay no taxes and yet are entitled to all you and i pay taxes to provide....
dr dawg? step up to the the plate you commie mother...and superduperK man...give us YOUR take...
They held the Liberal convention in the streets? Or was it the NDP convention? I thought those weren't for a while. Oh well.
I'm also thinking Jack Layton would view these people as damn fine NDP candidates. Damn fine.
"The Sinhalese make up 74 per cent of the island's population of 21 million people. They are Buddhists and speak Sinhala. The Tamils comprise 18 per cent of the population, are Hindu and speak Tamil."
Hahaha ... Buddha's people fighting Gandhi's people. The irony.
The 74% should rule, they are the majority.
Canada is not a real county.
Aren't those Liberal Flags? They're Red?
" Exactly how does a city the size of Toronto end up with a 200,000 strong immigrant community from one insignificant patch on an equally insignificant island on the other side of the planet? "
... isn't that essentially the same question being asked around those parts two hundred years ago by the Six Nations?
Thank-you Roger - well said and well written. The fable that msm tried to fly by Canadians stunk to high Heaven; it still stinks and we are still out the millions that we paid to that sidewinder from Syria.
Ezra, why on earth any Canadians, in their right minds, would vote for ANY MP that marches with a terrorist organization (or goes to dinner with them - Minna and Paulie II dome to mind) are right in the same boat with the MP that they vote for and they should all be set a' sail (WITH THEIR TERRORIST PALS) for Ceylon! No return fare and no 'do overs'.
As my Grandad would have said 'get out and don't darken the door again'. We have no room for people like the Tamil Tigers here - people who come with agenda's from their 'old country' are of no use to us and are not welcome.

I'll be there with my camera, I'll be offering my photos to whichever site deserves them. I've already got enough pictures of infants in strollers holding Tamil Tiger flags *and* the picture of the terrorist leader of the LTTE to be interesting.
Is it really necessary to stick a terrorist flag in the hands of an 18 month old infant, at a public rally?
"Exactly how does a city the size of Toronto end up with a 200,000 strong immigrant community from one insignificant patch on an equally insignificant island on the other side of the planet?"
Have you ever written a single post, ever, criticizing Canada's immigration policy? If not you, who? Problem lies between keyboard and chair, ma'am, it wasn't a legislature or an electorate full of Tamils who let them in.
The police, who are Liberal, are colluding with their LTTE pals to hold Ottawans hostage until Harper agrees to send Canadians to fight and die in Sri Lanka. The Ottawa police and RCMP consistently refuse to arrest the demonstrators blocking traffic, they are not upholding the law as their sworn oath compels them to. The Liberal media is colluding too, and a few labour groups are now openly backing the Tamil Tiger terrorists.
And you geniuses are still on about Iran and Afghanistan, LOL. Yeah, you care about terrorism, traitorous snakes.
Oh, and ET: you stunned whore. Only two weeks ago you made excuses for your Tamil Tiger terrorist pals, if there is blood today, and I think there will be, it will be on your hands. They do what they do because they know they can count on traitors like you among the population to make excuses for them.

About 40% of the children attending the Qatar Canadian School in Doha are what I call “Passport Canadians”. Many of them have never lived in Canada and have only made brief visits. But their parents have done what is required to become citizens.
To become Canadian citizens, adults must have lived in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before applying. I know of one very well educated Iraqi couple who were obtaining their Canadian citizenship while living nearly full time in the UAE. They’d fly into Canada and have their passports stamped, drive to the States, then fly back to the Emirates. Six months later they do it in reverse. They have three very bright kids that are all attending Canadian Universities on scholarships.
Maybe their kids will stay and become active contributing Canadians. But Canada is not their country or their hotel; it’s their lifeboat to be used when it’s required.
They’re playing the Canadian system with all the skills that they gained from living a corrupt part of the world. From their point of view they are playing by the rules.
