McTeague Urges Prime Minister to Open Canadian Consulate in Jaffna, Sri Lanka"Ira de Silva London, Ontario, CanadaHon. D.McTeague, M.P. Ms. A. Guanieri, MP Dear Sir & Madam: I understand that you have written to the Prime Minister urging him to locate a Canadian Consulate in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. This was a news item carried in the Tamil Eelam News Services. I am sure you are familiar with Tamil Eelam news as you are a member of the Liberal party, a political party in Canada that is closely associated with the Tamils, especially in the Toronto area. Liberal leaders, members of parliament have supported the Tamils whether they were collecting funds for Tamil terrorist acts in Sri Lanka, demonstrating on the streets of Canada or by making inaccurate, biased statements in parliament hoping that the Tamil vote will help the party elect members of parliament. It is indicative of your lack of principle and integrity that you support terrorism from Canada and identify with a group which is recognized throughout the world as one of the most ruthless terrorist organizations in the world today. I would like to remind you that Canada is a signatory to international agreements NOT to fund terrorism or support terrorism anywhere in the world. These comments apply equally to Ms. A. Guanieri, MP for Mississauga East-Cooksville who is the other Liberal contributor to this Tamil Eelam news report. Since neither of you have had the initiative to check the "stories" related to you by your Tamil terrorist supporters, I would like to point out a few facts to enlighten you and perhaps prompt you to make an impartial assessment of the situation in Sri Lanka before you make more inaccurate statements based on false information and assumptions. Re locating a Canadian consulate in Jaffna. Can you explain the need for a separate consulate? Do you want to relocate the people of Jaffna en-mass to Pickering-Scarborough and other areas of the GTA in the hope that they will vote for Liberal party candidates? The Tamils claim Jaffna to be their homeland - are you trying to deprive them of their homeland and make a Tamil homeland in Ontario? If you bring all the Tamils from Jaffna to Ontario, perhaps the Sinhalese and Muslims who were driven out by the LTTE ,(the politically correct term is ethnically cleansed), as well as the non-LTTE Tamil population will be able to return to Jaffna and live there in peace. Perhaps this is your unique solution to the problem faced by the Sri Lankan government which is resisting the division of Sri Lanka by extreme terrorism carried out by the Tamil terrorist group ( LTTE) whose propaganda you have fallen prey to. If so, please contact the Sri Lankan government immediately and make your proposal known to them. If peace returns to Sri Lanka through your proposal to re-locate the Jaffna Tamils to Canada you may even be in contention for the Nobel peace prize! On a serious note, I would like to inform you that since 1996 the people of Jaffna have had the freedom to re-locate and move to other areas of Sri Lanka as well as travel overseas because they were liberated from the fascist dictatorship of the Tamil Tigers by none other than the Sri Lankan government. They have used this freedom to move in large numbers to areas where the Tamil Tigers can not harass them or conscript their children. This is evidenced by the ever increasing number of Tamils moving to Colombo in the last decade where they now make up about 30% of the population. They live among the other communities, everywhere in Sri Lanka with the Sinhalese and Muslims, carry on businesses in large numbers and engage in all activities of the people outside the north. As for my assumption that you have been gullible and been used as a tool of Tamil terrorist propaganda, I refer you to the following excerpt from a news report last year.
What the gullible parliamentarians do not know is that invariably the Tamils are plants of the Tamil Tigers. Their modus operandi is to plant Tamil "volunteers" in the offices of selected politicians who are promising candidates likely to win elections and to rise within the ranks of the party. Each handpicked parliamentarian is allocated a minimum of two "volunteers". These "volunteers" are on the pay roll of the Tamil Tigers until the successful politician absorbs them into his full-time or part-time staff. Of course, these Tamil "helpers" are under an oath of secrecy not to reveal their identity or their links to the Tamil Tigers. What is more frightening and dangerous today are the news reports that bombings in Sri Lanka are being directed from Canada. This is the latest news: "Handlers are giving instructions from abroad to guerrilla operatives
in Sri Lanka to execute tasks. This includes persons whom they should
contact, movement of weapons and explosives. The method is being adopted
to prevent investigators from tracking down the leaders of guerrilla
units responsible for assassination plots on VIPs and planning attacks
on important targets. Investigations have revealed that operatives tasked
to carry out attacks are unaware of their missions until they are asked
to meet the contact person, often unknown to them. Based on the statements of the suicide bomber who was planning to kill thousands in Colombo with this bomb, he is being directed from Canada. It could be that the directions are even coming from your constituents. By supporting the Tamil terrorist sympathizers, who are directly involved in bombings and murder in Sri Lanka, you are by association also responsible for the murder of innocent civilians in Sri Lanka. Is that what you have been elected to do? Do you believe that Canada should promote murder in Sri Lanka? As for your contention that "Colombo is engaged in ethnic cleansing", it just illustrates your ignorance. Ethnic cleansing has been carried out by the LTTE for the last 30 years, long before the expression came to be used in the west. The increasing Tamil population in the areas not controlled by the LTTE is proof that the Tamils have no problems in living in areas outside the control of the LTTE. The facts are that the suicide bombings being planned and carried out in Colombo and other areas are being carried out by Tamils who are being sent to these areas with the express purpose of murdering thousands of innocent civilians. Further they are being funded and directed from Canada. If that were happening in Pickering-Scarborough, Mississauga-Cooksville, would you advocate that these suicide bombers be arrested or would you would support them, fund them and give them your blessing to murder your other constituents? As for Ms. Guanieri who is reported to have said that "it is time for Canada to finally suspend aid and trade until the Sri Lankan government starts respecting the human rights of Tamil civilians, I would suggest that since she is supporting and funding Tamil terrorism from Canada, it would be more appropriate that she advocate the payment of compensation by Canada to the victims of LTTE terrorism. Also, if she has any integrity, she should push for Canada to compensate the government of Sri Lanka for the destruction of property and damage to the economy. In case she is unaware, I would like to remind her that the RCMP traced the funds that paid for bombs in Colombo back to Canada. Now it is reported that the actual bombings are planned, financed, directed and commanded from Canada. Since it is elected members of parliament in Canada who are supporting these acts of terrorism it is only fair that they should assume responsibility for their actions and compensate the victims. That would be the only way one could take Ms Guanieri's interest in respecting human rights seriously. Yours truly, Ira de Silva cc:
