I know I keep harping on this but it takes liberals decades to figure things out. The Tamil Tigers are terrorists. Oh hang on—the Liberals knew this already. What they haven’t figured out yet—or don’t care to—is that “Canada” is more important than the “Liberals” and their incessant quest for political power over this country.
Oh let’s just face it. They obviously hate Canada—what they love is themselves. See?—I worked through this logically. You can too! Let’s try it on the health care file. Then the defence file. Then Sponsorgate. Then gay ‘marriage’. Then socialist daycare…
OTTAWA – The federal government’s latest argument for keeping the Tamil Tigers off its list of terrorist organizations is a “smokescreen” aimed at protecting political interests, say former officials with Canada’s spy agency.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have been widely condemned for their use of child soldiers, assassination and suicide bombings in a long-running civil war against Sri Lanka’s Sinhalese government.
At hearings before the Senate anti-terrorism committee over the past few weeks, two Cabinet ministers and the current director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service have said Canada is not flagging the group because it does not want to upset the “fragile” peace process overseas.
But former CSIS spy Michel Juneau-Katsuya calls that logic misleading, saying the Tigers have shown little proof they support a peaceful resolution beyond a recent, tenuous ceasefire.
He adds there is no excuse for being soft on a group that the majority of Western countries, including France, the U.K. and the United States agree is a terrorist entity—and he questions the real motives behind Canada’s tolerance.
“I think, unfortunately, what transpired much more out of this entire exercise is that for certain Liberal MPs, the Tamil community is the greater portion of their constituents, and therefore they don’t want to lose their seat,” he suggests.
Toronto’s Tamil community stands at more than 150,000 people, representing the largest group outside of Sri Lanka and an important voting bloc come election time.
