Hon,. Pierre Poilievre MP
Conservative Party Leadership Candidate -2022
Dear Pierre.
I note that you are galloping to victory to lead the Conservative Party, the Party that put me through emotional waves of highs and lows when you all dealt with Sri Lanka’s Tamil Eelam War and supporting the Tamil Tiger terrorist cause. The end result was my decision to abandon your lot, give up my card carrying membership (Sustaining Donor-1544311255047), and not vote for the Conservatives ever, not even holding my nostrils closed keeping away the Conservative stench of hypocrisy.
- Pierre, I told you in my first letter to you that when you were just out of your diapers, a 4-year old, holding on to your Mumma’s finger toddling along to Kindergarten in 1983, I was involved in this Tamil Eelam issue trying to drum into the heads of your Canadian Parliamentarian colleagues to understand the TRUTH, when they began to clue into that the Tamils who were seeking refuge were possible banks of block voters. You Conservatives were selling your bleeding hearts and souls to the Tamil separatist cause and became mindless suckers to win their Sinhala-blood soaked votes. And I was no Johnny -come-lately in this file. And I knew the direction the three major political parties, Liberals, Conservatives and the NDP were heading. So be it, I said, and then committed to deal with it with my voice and pen. You have heard me several times.
- Pierre you were 21 and the assistant to Stockwell Day, then Leader of Canadian
Alliance, who was, quite rightly, going after the Liberal Minister of Finance, Paul
Martin, who together with Maria Minna, the Minister of CIDA, and nine other
Liberal Party back-benchers, patronized the $60-a-plate Fundraising lunch
in Toronto by FACT in May 2000, to collect funds for the most ruthless Terrorists
in the world the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) aka, Tamil Tigers, and Stockwell lambasted them during the Question Period in Parliament..
And Paul Martin called your boss, Stockwell Day a Racist” during Question Period in Parliament. I watched it on CPAC.
You phoned me asking me to support Stockwell on his stance against Canada
supporting the most ruthless terrorist group in the world, the LTTE.
And I did. Two days later, early morning you phoned me and said –” Asoka,
your letter is in, in The Ottawa Citizen, and Thanks Asoka for supporting
Minister Stockwell Day.”;
- You went through together with Stockwell Day, Minister of Public Safety, and MP Jason Kenny of the Conservative Party, who took the lead to Ban the Tamil Tigers in Canada on 10 April 2006.
- And on Thursday, April 27, 2006, a small delegation consisting of Mahinda Gunasekera, Ira de Silva, Daya Hettiarachchi and I met Ministers Day and Kenny in Minister Day’s office to Thank” them for banning the Tamil Tigers
as promised us in May 2005, when the two of them gave us the assurance that all legal measures would be taken against the LTTE and its front organizations soon after your party assumes power.
5. Pierre, this is what I wrote to Conservative Foreign Minister, Lawrence
Cannon on May 20, 2009, a day after the Tamil Tigers were annihilated by
the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, after reading his pathetic Press Release, the
worst that ever came out of Canada’s Foreign Ministry Office.
A war that every country including Canada said it was an unwinnable war, and
wanted Sri Lanka to hand over to the Eelamists the land that they claimed were
theirs.
And the separatist Tamils had been spoiling for a fight, and finally they did for 30
bloody years until Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his armed forces
of brave, heroic men and women got the Tamil Tiger leader, Velupillai
Prabhakaran with a bullet through his forehead on the sands of the Nandikadal
Lagoon, on 18 May, 2009. And, of course, Pierre, we Canadians didn’t like it.
Shucks! That was too bad.
But here is what is so despicable about it, and that includes you. No Canadian
parliamentarian has given credit to Gotabaya’s heroic men and women in khaki
and surge, for their Classic Textbook, Human Rights Act for giving back the
Right-to-Life to 20.5 million of their people which had been hijacked by the
Tamil Tigers for 30-bloodying- years.
So much for the hypocritical-bleeding hearts of the world that was so concerned
about Human Rights violations during the Eelam terrorist war. Pierre, what
Bull…what Hogwash…. what a crotch full of cods-wallop…what strings of
baloney hanging in a stall at the Byward Market…what decorative strings of
Masala wade hanging at the entrance of a Haro Hara Eelam Curry Hut!
Pierre, here is one more despicable act of insolence by yours and my Canada.
Who failed to acknowledge the amazing Classic Textbook example of a
Human Rights Act, when 295,873 Tamil refugees who were marched from
the west coast to the east coast of Sri Lanka for 60-months, like a herd of
unwashed cattle as a Human Shield by the Tamil Tigers under a scorching
Jaffna-Killinochchi sun.
It was Gotabaya’s heroic men and women in khaki and serge. that
rescued them’, and absolutely no one, including you talks about this amazing
Human Rights Act. Pierre, and that is down right being ‘sick’. Explain
Pierre…explain. Why? Do I smell a nasty rat here?
Dear Minister Lawrence Cannon:
You have failed me, a Sri Lankan-Canadian, and Sri Lanka with your Statement on Sri Lanka expressing your concern on civilian casualties and not recognizing the Sri Lanka Government defeating the most ruthless terrorist group in the world which you all banned on 10 April, 2006. You ignored the euphoria among all Sri Lankans, including some Tamils,and the relief they shared having had the Tamil Tigers eliminated which gave 20.5 million peoples their Right-to-Life which had been hijacked by the Tamil Tigers for 30-blood spilling years.
Your statement is proof positive that the Conservatives have now begun to pander to the Tamil Diaspora and have forgotten that there were other communities, especially the majority Sinhalese who were affected by this unnecessary brutal, war with killings, assassinations and ethnic cleansing in the thousands of individuals by the Tamil Tigers………….”
6. By then Pierre, you certainly knew that Canada was supporting this Tamil
terrorist group, and were aiding and abetting the terrorist war in Sri Lanka, by
letting theTamil separatist diaspora collect $2 million a month for 13 long Liberal
years to stuff the Tamil Tigers war chest, to buy sophisticated military weapons
to kill my Sinhalese people together with my Muslim brothers and sisters for the
want of their Mono-ethnic, separate, racist Tamil state of Eelam, carved out of
33% of the sovereign Land of the island in the North and East of Sri Lanka,
bordered by 66% of the coastline for 12.6% of the Tamil population (then). The
Tamil population may have dwindled to about 6% now, as almost all of them flew
out of their Cuckoo’s-nests, thumbing their noses at their Mother India, searching
for roads paved with gold and the lands over their fences that were greener than
theirs.
7. Pierre, you certainly knew that the Tamils cut a cheque from a Bank account of
B. Thambirajah, in Vancouver, for 7.5 million dollars on September 22, 1993, to purchase 60 tonnes of RDX and 10 tonnes of TNT from the Rubezone Chemical
Factory in the Ukraine.
It were these high explosives that were used in a truck bomb to bring down
the Central Bank Building in Colombo’s Financial District, on 31 January 1996, killing 114 and maiming for life 1338 others. Among them was a Director of the Bank, who had a Masters from Waterloo U, and a PhD in Statistics from Ottawa U.
A few minutes before the truck bomb went off, he had gone to the Library a few floors up. Two stacks of books had fallen on his legs and both were amputated.
Pierre, turn your hands and look at your two palms. That slight red stain on your palms are of the Sinhlese blood that we Canadians were responsible with the money that a Tamil cut a cheque from a Bank in Vancouver, to purchase those high explosives. So we, Canada, aided and abetted the most ruthless Tamil Tiger terrorists to kill my people. How do you feel now Pierre. Do you admit that you are one helluva -sinner supporting the Tamil separatist cause. Would you?
8. Canada’s support for the Tamil Tiger terrorists, the most ruthless terrorists
in the world according to the UN:
i. Ian Cotler, the Minister of Justice for the Liberal Government admitted to the
Editorial Board of the National Post, that the Liberals were not willing to
antagonize the Tamil community, and thus not willing to ban the Liberation
Tigers of Tamil Eelam aka Tamil Tigers, the killer terrorists’. The Liberals did
not want to lose their votes. But didn’t mind sacrificing the lives of my
Innocent Sinhalese people. That is how the Liberals selfish cookie crumbled,
And I a Sinhalaee-Canadian will never, ever forget this nasty Canadian horror
story.
ii. Pierre, the evening of November 5, 2007, was dark, cold, shivering and wet
and nine Liberal MPs, stood in vigil with thousands of Tamils at Markham Fair
Ground in memory of S.P. ThamilChelvan, the leader of the Political Wing of
the Tamil Tigers who was killed by a bomb dropped on the building in
Kilinochchi where he was in a palaver with four other combatant Tamil Tiger
Terrorists.. That evening all the Liberal MPs lambasted the Sri Lanka
Government for that killing.
One of the Liberal Parliamentary jokers, Borys Wrzesnewskyj (Etobicoke
Center), having lambasted the Sri Lanka Government christened the
Tamil Tigers as Doves of Peace”.
That was a sick joke, Pierre, hoping to pick up every Tamil vote of the
thousands who stood in vigil with them.
Holy Moses, Pierre, a few weeks later these Liberal parliamentary
Crap-shooters couldn’t find a place to hide their faces, not even in their kitchen
sinks, as their Doves of Peace” mutated at a steady pace and turned into
brutal ”Killer Doves” and went on killing the unarmed innocent Sinhalese,
with sophisticated war- weapons bought out of funds collected in Canada.
What a hoot! What nine sick Liberal jokers. All for the want of the Tamil
votes. Haro..Hara!
Pierre, at 8:05 in the morning of Wednesday, November 28, one of the Liberal
women Doves of Peace, a Tamil Tiger suicide bomber with a bomb hidden in
her bra blew herself trying to assassinate Douglas Devananda, a Tamil, the
Minister of Social Services, killing his Coordinating Secretary, and seriously
injuring 10 others of the Public Relations Office, and a Sub-Inspector of
Police, a personal bodyguard to the Minister.
Pierre, this was the 279th suicide bombing by the Liberals ‘Doves of Peace’
that you foolishly seem to be sucking up to. Shame on you, grovelling at their
feet for their Tamil votes. Well. Pierre, such is the Canadian Federal
Government Politics and their shameless politicians who have sold their souls
for the Tamil separatist cause, If such action by you is going to hurt
and destroy my dignity and others of my Sinhalese community. I tell you
quite candidly. Don’t . Stop it, right now! I have already struck you off my list
of well wishers who will be getting my Christmas card this December.
9. Dear Pierre, so that you know. In your Dear Friend” communication of
August 7, 2022, you said…”I will work hand in glove with our allies to
provide an economic partnership – prioritizing those most impacted by
these difficult times and by opening permanent consulate services in
Jaffna”
I only hope you won’t emulate the Judy Sgro, Liberal Minister of Immigation’s
arrogance, who just after the Tsunami of Boxing Day of 2004, exposed her
arrogant shenanigan, when she told in parliament, that it was not necessary
for Canada to get permission from the Sri Lanka Government to open a
Consulate Office in Jaffna.
Pierre, this is what I told this foolish Canadian Cabinet Minister in a letter.
‘Judy, it Is time you get back to College and audit a course in Diplomacy
101, so that You don’t try your belligerent arrogance, and get kicked out of
Sri Lanka. Be taken by your hand by a police officer, in case you slip away
and hide in the Canadian High Commissioner’s residence, and put you on
the first plane out of Colombo to bring you back to Ottawa. Hope you
won’t embarrass yourself, your political party and the Country you
represent. Just cut it, Judy. Just cut it!
10. Pierre, in that same Dear Friend” friendly note you say, I would restore
Canadian leadership by standing with the human rights advocates, support
the war crimes investigations they demand ….”
For Pete’s sake Pierre, give me a break! There is a tinge of arrogance in that
Conservative stupidity.
The Godfather of Tamil Tiger terrorism, Canada, falls flat on its face.
Canada who had a penchant to paint itself lilly-white, and at the bat of its
eyelids point its finger at other world cultures to say, Hey, baby…We are
holier than Thou!
Pierre, first look at the beam in your own eyes before you come to poke your
finger at the mote of Sri Lanka’s eyes.
Whoopee doo Pierre! Sweet Mother of Jesus! I knew all along this wasn’t
true the way that Canada’s ‘Whitemen’ shot and killed the native First
Nation peoples, like the Newfoundland Beothuks.
Pierre, this what the last Beothuck, Shanawdithit (Nancy April), who died on
6th June 1829, said to our White-Canadians’ then:
‘Coughing Beothuk syllables
I try to make you understand
as I am part of you and affable
wanting to be understood
and be alive,
as I am Shanawdithit.
You have hurt me enough
having shot me twice
by Noel Boss a Mi’kmaq
hunter and a rough
trapper to paint
the earth red with my blood,
killed my people for the fun of it,
stole our furs and slyly crept
to burn the mamateeks when we slept.
And I still want to be understood and be alive
For I am Shanawdithit.
We tore our cassocks
to reveal our bogmoots (breasts) to prove
we were women begging for your mercy.
Shooting and cutting our throats
Killing the nits from lice,
and I still want to be understood
And be alive
for I am Shanawdithit….”
(from Canadian Stories, Vol.23 No.131, 2020)
Pierre Poilievre, that is your heritage, being maestros of Genocide”. Unfortunately it’s mine too now, although I am not ‘white’, I am of the colour
of the best of the 50 shades of brown, which is the colour of the crown of hair
on your head, since I have adopted Canada as my home. I will happily sing her National Anthem with You saying
O Canada….I will stand on guard for thee..” with a lot of absolute honesty,
truth and pride.
11 Pierre, whether you like it or not, you are part of Canada’s Genocidal heritage”.
Here’s the despicable story well related on a wall at the Wabano Centre on
Montreal Road in East Ottawa, serving the Indigenous and First Nation peoples.
Pierre, if you haven’t been there, then go.. That wall will be the litmus test to know
whether you have an honest and a compassionate heart, as you will come out
with tears welled in your eyes, the way the ‘white-Canadians treated the First
Nation peoples. Not like the present ‘white’ crap-shooters who are lying their way
to win recent Asian immigrant votes. I cried!
12. Pierre, your ‘Dear Friend” note said …For decades, we have demanded
reparations for war widows….”.
Shish! Pierre, don’t be so damn cocky and demanding, as I Asoka Weerasinghe
who has poured his heart with sympathy for the Canadian First Nation Peoples,
having interpreted their rich and sometimes painful cultures in the early 1970s
while creating Ottawa’s Victoria Memorial Museum Halls of People of the Long
House (Iroquois), The Buffalo Hunters (Plains Indians), Children of the Raven
(West Coast Culture), and the Inuit (Inuit/Eskimo), tell you bluntly and with some
crass authority. Hey, Pierre, you are now being a cunning joker. Surly what
was good for the Goose surely should be good for Gander. Here is what did
happen in recent Canadian history, and you have nothing to complain about poking
your Conservative blue-finger in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs. It is none of your
Business. Here is a Canadian Truth……
Survivors of St. Anne’s residential school have spent decades in court,
fighting for compensation for the years of abuse and torture they experienced
as children. The Canadian federal government has spent over $3.2 million in
legal fees Fighting them,”
This bit of news gives me the incentive to ask you Pierre don’t be a fool to rush
in where angels fear to tread” Be careful as your honesty” in your credibility as
a Good politician” is on pretty shaky grounds. All this arrogant stupidity just to
garner Tamil votes. What bullish, foolishness!. Is it worth it?
13. Pierre, now I gather that at age 43, you have promoted yourself as the Saviour of
the Sri Lankan Tamils, who you believed were persecuted.
Persecuted” you say. Pierre, I am sorry to say that with that accusation of guilt,
I have come to the conclusion that you know sweet-nothing of the ground situation
in Sri Lanka. The Tamils have massaged your mind and brain to make you look an
absolute Dunce-capped fool. They have figured out your vulnerability, ready to kiss
their feet for the promise of 1000 Tamil votes. What a way to be a politician. When
the Tamils ask you to jump, so you jump; in case you lose 500 Tamil votes if you
Don’t. This is a belly-aching Hoot!
,
Here is what it was on the ground,when July 1983 riots took place.
The predominantly Tamil Jaffna District had 555 government schools for the
Tamil student population of 207,524, and the capital City of Colombo had
only 251 such schools for 231,609 students. This is not a tricky question as even
a Grade 5 student will come up with the right answer. Pierre, with this TRUTH
were the Tamils persecuted?;
Jaffna Tamil District had 41% of their schools equipped with government
approved science laboratories, compared to the all island average of 19.6%
Government approved Science laboratories. Pierre, with this TRUTH were the
Tamils persecuted? ‘
c . When the Black July riots happened on 24 July of 1983, the Chief Justice of the
The Supreme Court was a Tamil (Justice S. Sharvadanda); The Inspector
General of Police was a Tamil (Rudra Rajasingham); and the Attorney General
was a Tamil (S. Pasupati). Pierre, with this TRUTH were the Tamils
persecuted? You can be Judge and Jury in this Canadian-Tamil-Conservative
Blarney Gong Show.
d. When Sri Lanka’s Black July riots happened on 24 July, 1983, the Sri Lankan
Diplomats serving as the High Commissioner in Britain, and Ambassadors in
China, France and Germany were Tamils. Pierre, with this TRUTH were the
Tamils Persecuted? Be truthful. Do you feel that you have been taken
down a Tamil Tiger garden path with treacherous slippery slopes with
numbing rose bushes with idiot-thorns!
14. In your Dear Friend” epistle of August 7, 2022, you said, You don’t
need a soldier every five meters on the streets of Toronto – and yet the
peaceful Sri Lankan northeast now constitutes one of the most militarized
non-conflict regions in the world.”
Pierre, that statement shows that you are a naive politician, nor are you a leader
of a country, trying to save your country and its peoples from terrorists who
want to take over, who are been provided with cylinders of oxygen to survive by
Foreign Do-gooder desk-mercenaries whose Kalashnikovs are government
supplied pens and computers. These desk-mercenaries have no business to
aid and abet to revive the Eelam War by extending their Voices in support
of the Tamil separatist cause.
.
Pierre, have you not come across such incidents where Leaders of countries
adapt extraordinary measures to deal with extraordinary situations. If you
haven’t Pierre, look no further. Roll back 52-years of Canada’s modern-history
until you come across the words Canada’s 1970 October Crisis,” For Pete’s
sake Pierre, what is Good for the goose surely should be Good for the
gander.
You were certainly not sharp in your mind were you when you made that snarky
comment : You don’t need a soldier every five meters on the streets of
Toronto – and yet the peaceful Sri Lankan northeast now constitutes one of
the most militarized non-conflict regions in the world.”
Pierre, so that you know this is what happened. The October Crisis took place
in Quebec in the autumn of 1970.. The Crisis was the culmination of terrorist
attacks perpetrated by the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ), a Quebec
Independence Movement.
On 5 October 1970, the FLQ kidnapped the British Trade Commissioner
James Cross in Montreal. Within the next two weeks the FLQ also kidnapped
and killed Quebec’s Minister of Immigration and Labour Pierre Laporte.
Quebec’s Premier Robert Boroussa and Montreal’s Mayor Jean Drapeau
asked for Federal Government help.
Pierre, this is how the Liberal Party Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau ‘s Federal
Government helped.
For one kidnapping and one killing of a Provincial Government Minister, Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act to nip in the bud of the
FLQ terrorist movement. That decision flooded the Ottawa Streets with army
fatigued soldiers cradling assault-rifles like babies. And at every street corner
there were soldiers with assault rifles with a finger on the trigger ready to shoot.
Pierre, you were still not born then, but I witnessed it all as I was landing at
Ottawa’s old airport around 4:00 in the afternoon on October 16.
I witnessed from the plane’s window, at least 50 helicopters buzzing in the sky
like monster mosquitoes. That was my introduction and welcome to Canada.
The following day I learnt that it was a real Military drill and not a film set for a
Walt Disney film Aliens coming to take Canadians away.
And you, Mister Piere Poilievre, had the gall and the temerity to make that
snarky comment about Sri Lanka – You don’t need a soldier every five meters
on the streets of Toronto – and yet the peaceful Sri Lankan northeast now
constitutes one of the most militarized non-conflict regions in the world.”
Pierre, the more you try to win the Tamill votes, the more You are getting
entangled badly in the Canadian Political Web of Deceit. My humble advice
to you Pierre, is to snip your umbilical cord which is still attached to the
Separatist-Tamils and get down from your High Horse and renew your faith
in Honesty and Truth which will take you a long way as a politician.
15Pierre, under such a background where Canada aided and abetted the most
ruthless terrorist outfit in the world,, the Tamil Tigers, and prolonged that war
in Sri Lanka, to carry on for 30-bloody years, I felt a bit distraught that you had demanded the arrest of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the former President of Sri Lanka who also was the Defense Secretary, who kicked the butts of yours and India’s prodigies , the Tamil Tiger terrorists, who were annhilated on 19 May 2009,
by Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s team of heroic men and women soldiers still living
and dead.
I see that the penalty for annihilating the Tamil Tigers, and giving back the most paramount Human Rights the Right-to-Life to 20.5 million of their peoples, which includes the Tamils too; to having rescued 295,873 Tamil refugees from the clutches of the Tamill Tigers who were used as a Human Shield for 6 months; and sustaining them in a temporary tent city preparing 1 (one) million breakfasts, lunches and dinners every day, you want the leader to be arrested and brought to an International Human Rights Court. What sordid crap…not worth two dead capelin washed on the shores of Newfoundland’s Middle Cove, or two prairie straws waving in desperation in the chilling cold wind… what ratty tosh!
Are you insane Pierre. You are too young to suffer from dementia., I see that you are also Hallucinating that you will be the first Viceroy of the Tamil sovereign Kingdom of Ellam-Makkam in Canada, been sponsored by these Canadian separtist Tamils, Dream on, Mr. Pierre Poilievre, MP…dream on!
Get off that train to the dreamland of yours, and cut your umbilical cord with the Canadian Tamil separatists who have made a fool of you, are certainly not doing you any good.
16. In Conclusion, you have been lucky that you heard from three top veteran
Sinhala-Canadian activists, Mahinda Gunasekera, Ira de Silva and Jaliya
Wickramarachchi, who have been working on this file since 24 July 1983, who
had advised you, who had questions for you on your involvement in
lambasting the Sri Lanka Government in support of the Tamil separatists, as a
favour to gain their votes at a federal election. The choice is yours to heed to
what they said, and shut your gob on this file without getting entangled in the
Canadian Political web of deceit any further., Failing you will remain at the
bottom of my heap of the arrogant and foolish Canadian Conservatives, and
twinned with Brampton’s Mayor Patrick Brown, who thinks he is God and wants
to change what is Sri Lanka today, and hand it over to the Tamils. What a clown!
Let me repeat what one veteran activist told you. Ira de Silva said – I suggest
that you get Your facts correct and not merely parrot what you are told by
the very people who funded and supported terrorism in Sri Lanka. It is
obvious that you are ignorant of the situation in Sri Lanka both past and
present. Please educate yourself and not merely repeat the inaccurate
biased information given to you by your LTTE constituents in Canada who
are the very people who for decades funded terrorism in Sri Lanka.
Canadian politicians who just want Votes in Canada and have no concern
for the people who live in Sri Lanka are willing to say and do whatever it
takes hoping that they will get votes in Canada. That is a damning
indictment on you. Have you any confirmation that they will vote for you
after you debase yourself?
The people of Sri Lanka do not know you nor do they care to know you and
should not have to suffer because of your myopic action.”
Hallelujah! You have heard from one veteran on the issue . She is the best there
was since July 24, 1983…the Best there is Today…and the Best there ever will be
after today, to take on the dumb Canadian politicians who have sold their souls to
the proxy- Tamil Tigers to garner their votes.
Pierre Poilievre, before you go to the closest mirror and ask – Mirror…mirror..
on the Wall, who is the liar of them all,”. have a cloth with you to wipe your face,
as You have got rotten eggs all over it..
It is your call Pierre to get off that high horse of yours and stop being so arrogant
and foolish. All I will say is …Good luck Pierre. I know and my Crystal Ball
reading says that one day Pierre Poilievre will say under his breath I wish I
listened to Asoka Weerasinghe on the 27th of August, 2022. He was so
damn right!” Pierre, my Crystal Ball has never failed me.
Be well.
Asoka (Weerasinghe)
