Canada’s Duplicity Regarding Sri Lanka
Posted on July 27th, 2016

I refer to the statement made by the Canadian Prime Minister on July 25,2016, titled “Canada Renews calls for Sri Lanka’s Reconciliation”. It states that the war and the devastation it wrought “reminds us to heal the wounds of those who have suffered and promote unity over division and inclusion over prejudice.”
This statement illustrates the blatant hypocrisy, duplicity and prejudice towards Sri Lanka by Canada which bases it’s policy on harassing Sri Lanka to pacify Tamil terrorist supporters in Canada hoping for votes at elections. May I remind the prime minister that throughout the “war”, which was conducted by the terrorist organization the LTTE in Sri Lanka, the Canadian government and it’s citizens who supported the LTTE goal of dividing Sri Lanka, supported the Tamil terrorists with funds and political support. Canada was responsible for prolonging the terrorist war. Canada was responsible for the bombs which were paid for by Canadian citizens. Canadian parliamentarians were responsible because they supported fund raising for terrorism and endorsed the LTTE fronts at every event in Canada as well as the numerous debates in parliament on Sri Lanka where members of parliament of all parties vilified Sri Lanka and supported the LTTE. Numerous members of parliament of all parties, even cabinet ministers, were in the forefront of Canada’s backing of the Tamil terrorists because they hoped to get the votes of Canadian Tamils supportive of the LTTE. It was unprincipled, immoral and hypocritical, given that Canada was supposed to be against terrorism and had signed conventions to that effect. I would remind Mr. Trudeau that those who suffered from Canadian supported terrorism were civilians of Sri Lanka of all nationalities. The wounds of those who suffered from Canadian sponsored LTTE terrorism will not be healed until Canada acknowledges it’s role of terrorism in Sri Lanka and makes a determined effort to be impartial. Considering that it was Canada that promoted terrorism in Sri Lanka to divide the country, was prejudiced in favour of the Tamils who were terrorizing all the people of Sri Lanka, I remind the prime minister that to heal the wounds Canada caused, for a start, Canada should apologise to the people of Sri Lanka for terrorizing them through the LTTE. To promote unity over division, Canada should stop interfering in the internal matters of Sri Lanka at the dictates of LTTE supporters in Canada. Having supported Tamil terrorism, it is time to admit it and refrain making this type of meaningless statement which continues to show Canada’s support for the LTTE and does nothing to heal the wounds Canada has inflicted on Sri Lankans. It is hoped that Mr. Dion on his visit will not continue to show Canada’s prejudice against Sri Lanka in his dealings with the representatives of the country.
It would be more meaningful if Canada stops making these hypocritical statements on Sri Lanka which are meant, not to help Sri Lanka, but to help Canadian politicians get votes in Canada. As for encouraging the Sri Lankan government to “fulfill its commitments” the only commitment the Sri Lankan government has to fulfill is to protect the safety and security of it’s people after over thirty years of bloodshed and destruction enabled by Canada and prevent a return to terrorism by the Tamil terrorists with Canada’s encouragement and support. The people of Sri Lanka are well aware of the role Canada played in supporting the LTTE to terrorize them and are not fooled by a statement such as the one made by you on July 25,2016.
Yours truly,

Mangala must be replaced by a patriotic foreign minister. Actually Ranil, Sirisena, CBK traitors must be replaced too. However Mangala must be replaced as soon as possible. A country’s government should first and foremost look after the country’s security. sovereignty, territorial integrity and in the case of a small country such as Sri Lanka its unitary status. Mangala has betrayed Sri Lanka by accepting the UNHRC resolution which no country with any integrity will accept. Mangala must realise that those LTTE terrorists who massacred the citizens of this country for over 26 years simply because they wanted a large chunk of this island for themselves, illegally, that they should be dealt with in a very careful manner without betraying the security. sovereignty, territorial integrity and in the case of a small country such as Sri Lanka its unitary status, even if extremely powerful forces such as the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India are behind the LTTE terrorists. In addition, we must place forth the argument that those who settled in the island quite recently only during the past few hundred years i.e. the Sri Lankan Tamils who are only but 11.2% of the population do not have any rights whatsoever to demand over 28% of the land area, 66% of the coastline and 66% of the vast ocean resources which belong to Sri Lanka. This message should be conveyed to the TNA, the separatist terrorists and those who support them i.e. the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India as soon as possible so that they understand our position. This is the task of a foreign minister. Mangala therefore has betrayed Sri Lanka and must go. Sri Lanka cannot afford large self ruling entities which are illegal anyway since this island as a whole belong to all its people in total. It is the foreign minister’s task to covey this message to everyone concerned.

The missing persons commission, the name is a misnomer. it should be called ‘those combatants on all sides who died in the war i.e. Sri Lankan Forces, Police Force. Civil Defence Forces, IPKF, Tamil Armed Groups against the LTTE and the LTTE terrorists themselves and whose bodies have not be found’. Therefore the name itself is wrong and invented by the UNHRC to tarnish the image of the armed forces of Sri Lanka.
The missing persons commission to date has receive 24,000 complaints from 1983-2009 period. Of this number over 5,000 are regarding missing Sri Lankan Forces members, whereabouts unknown, almost certainly executed by the LTTE terrorists. Over 12,000 complaints are against the LTTE itself recruiting young persons by coercion. Therefore over 70% of complaints are against the LTTE itself which amounts to over 17,000 complaints. The rest of the complaints are I am sure about the whereabouts of LTTE combatants or terrorists who died while fighting but whose bodies have not been found.
My question is, why cannot the UNHRC the US,UK, EU, Canada, Norway, Sweden and India accept that Sri Lankan Forces, Police Force, Civil Defence Forces, IPKF, Tamil Armed Groups against the LTTE and the LTTE terrorists themselves died fighting in this war and leave it at that. What is the point in looking for these combatants now? Why is it that the UNHRC the US,UK, EU, Canada, Norway, Sweden and India never ever talk about the over 35,000 Sri Lankan Forces, Police Force, civil Defence Force members who died in the war? or the 1,200 IPKF members or the over 2,000 Tamils Armed Groups against the LTTE members who died in the war? or the over 6,000-7,000 Sinhala civilians and even Muslims civilians who were massacred by the LTTE? or the around (my estimate) over 3,000 Tamil civilians massacred by the LTTE?
Why is it that the UNHRC the US,UK, EU, Canada, Norway, Sweden and India is not concerned about the over 10,000 Sri Lankan Forces members permanently disabled by the war, or the over 23,000 Sri Lankan Forces members both temporarily and permanently disabled by the war? or the over 136,000 Sri Lankan Forces members who were injured due to the war?
Why is it that the UNHRC the US,UK, EU, Canada, Norway, Sweden and India not concerned about the over 65,000 Sinhala people and over 75,000 muslims ethnically cleansed from the North?
Why is it that the only the around 35,000 LTTE terrorists who died inclusive of Prabhakaran are the concern of the UNHRC the US,UK, EU, Canada, Norway, Sweden and India? Perhaps this missing persons commission should answer that question first.

Even if the constitution will be changed since this idiotic government follows whatever instructions the US, UK, EU, Norway, Canada, Sweden, India, the TNA and the separatist terrorists tell it to do, we must ensure that the unitary status of the country is not compromised in any way whatsoever. The clause in the 13th amendment which says that ‘the North and the East is the homeland of the Tamil speaking people’ must be deleted since it is totally false when looking at the history of the island. This clause must be replaced with the clause ‘the entire island is the homeland of all its peoples’. The provision which allows for the merger between two provinces should be deleted. As much subjects from the concurrent list should be included in the national list. Under no circumstances should land, police or fiscal powers be given to provincial councils. All of us need to ensure that the above happens since if the system reverts back to a parliamentary system and the presidential system is scrapped, the only way to ensure the unitary status of the country is the make sure that the provincial councils do not get any more powers than they have at present. The Public Security Ordinance should not be amended in anyway as well. If any provincial councils acts out of line, the head of government should dissolved such a provincial council and direct rule by the head of government should be enforced under those circumstances.

I would please urge any person who has any influence whatsoever with Ranil, Mangala, Sirisena, CBK to let them know that these Western Countries i.e. the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India will only back off if Sri Lanka takes a very firm stance and refuses to carry out this unjust UNHRC resolution. Sri Lanka must do this without any fear since I am sure if Sri Lanka takes a very firm stance and refuses to carry out this unjust resolution the UNHRC, the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India will back off. I can guarantee that will happen. So it is up to Sri Lanka or rather Ranil, Mangala, Sirisena, CBK whether they are going to place our Sri Lankan armed forces in jeopardy for crimes they did not commit or whether they are going to defend the country’s armed forces and the country’s sovereignty, independence, freedom, integrity, unitary status etc. by refusing to carry out this unjust UNHRC resolution which no country on this planet earth with any integrity will carry out. However, if they keep complying with whatever unjust demands are made by the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India, they will have to keep complying with those unjust demands at the expense of Sri Lanka breaking up into pieces and placing the Sri Lankan people’s security in jeopardy. Sri Lanka will end up being partitioned too.
