Another cabinet minister killed by Tamil Tigers

Sir:

Early last November, Jim Karygiannis, Maria Minna, Derek Lee, John McKay, John Cannis, Mark Holland, Yasmin Ratansi, Borys Wrzesnewsky and Lui Temelkovski, all Liberal parliamentarians stood in vigil together with 10,000 of their Tamil constituents at Markham Fair Ground for Tamil Tiger S.P. Thamilselvam who was killed by a Sri Lankan Air Force bomb.
That evening they lambasted the Sri Lankan government and christened the Tamil Tigers as “Doves of Peace”.

Yesterday (April 6), the mutation of these “Doves of Peace” had horribly gone wrong and they turned into “Peace-Killer Doves”, as one of their suicide bombers killed one of their own minority Tamil, a Catholic, Highways Minister and the Chief Government Whip, Jeyaraj Fernandopulle when he was flagging the start of a Marathon run in a town near Colombo.
With him they killed the National Athletics Coach and the Olympian Marathoner and Sri Lanka’s record holder.

If the past Tamil Tiger copy cat suicide bombings around the world are anything to go by, this is a wake up call to the international community, including Canadians, to redouble their efforts to combat terrorism, and now specially during athletic events. These are the Tamil Tigers who perfected the suicide body-packs for suicide bombers and now have created bra-bombs for women suicide bombers.

When will these Liberals ever learn that they are toying and playing killer-roulette with the lives of Sri Lankans stroking and petting these Tamil Tigers, who they really believe are “Doves of Peace”, just to garner 100,000 Tamil votes to get re-elected to parliament from the Greater Toronto Area ridings? Shame on them.
