Tamils Take the Opportunity to Miss an Opportunity

So, the Tamils shut down the Gardiner for hours on Mother's Day in order to...what?

Would someone please be so kind as to tell me what the FUCK shutting down a major artery, in a major city, on one of the most sentimental days of the year, is going to do for their cause?

Is it going to garner them the sympathy and support of the Canadian people? Via Cathy Shaidle, go to the CBC and find out, nah, not so much. Ya gotta figure, if the comments run so hard against you at the CBC, you're doing something wrong.

Is it going to get the Canadian government to do something about the situation in Ceylon? If so, what? I see a few commenters at the offering up brainwaves like getting the UN involved. What, has the Blue Helmet brigade run out of African children to abuse? I mean, do you want Ceylonese 10 year olds trading their bodies for chocolate bars? Or that we should harshly condemn the Ceylonese govt. Yeah, that'll work. And if not, there's always a letter of concern. Or sanctions? Umm, just how much do we trade with them?

Again I ask, did they actually think that blocking a limited access, multi-lane expressway, tying up traffic for hours, using babies in strollers as human shields to keep the police back, would garner them sympathy outside of the mush brained left? Sympathy they already have, by default, due to the mush brained left's inherent mental defects? My post title refers to a comment I heard, once upon a time, about the "Palestinians," that they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. I think we have another group with that affliction.

Does anybody else remember, back in the mid 80's when a boatload of Tamils crashed ashore in the maritimes and demanded refugee status? My favourite story was about the guy who got in a cab in Halifax, if memory serves, and asked to be taken to Toronto. Judging by Sunday's "parade," he made it. Canadians were actually, briefly, irritated about our assinine refugee system. Which that jackass Mulroney promptly did nothing to fix.

What, exactly, did they get? More pictures of "ordinary Tamils" marching under the flag of a terrorist organization. Granted, it's a terrorist organization whose bag men Paul Martin liked to meet with, but a terrorist organization none the less. And, hey, they did get a promise from the Liberals to bring it up in parliament.

Hey, that's what they wanted, to make sure the Liberals were still the party of terrorists. Mission accomplished.

Yo, Tamils, if I might be so bold, you left your 3rd world pest hole of a country for a reason; because it sucks. The suckitude of Canada is far less severe than that of Ceylon, and I would very much like it to stay that way. To that end, I offer the following choice: (1) Behave yourself in accordance with Canadian customs, manners, traditions and laws or (2) GO THE FUCK BACK. Your country is broken, but that doesn't give you the right to break mine.
