Your Worship Bonnie Crombie
Mayor of Mississauga
Mississauga Civic Centre
300 City Centre Drive
Mississauga
L5B 3C1
Ontario,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Mayor Bonnie Crombie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read with much disappointment\nyour Statement on the Tamil Memorial Day.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was that all about, Mayor. What\nTamil Memorial Day<\/strong> are you talking about..?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you are going to tell me –\nOops ! Asoka, it was  a genuine typo.  It was meant to read as <\/strong>\u2018Mississauga\u2019s\nSinhalese Memorial Day.\u201d<\/strong> It was a day meant to commemorate the days of\n30-savage bloodying years, that saddened all of us, when Tamil Tigers \nkilled 1000s of your unarmed innocent Sinhalese folk with Kalashnikovs.\nClaymore mines; plucking infants from the young Sinhalese mother’s breasts and\ndashing their heads on hard charnockite-granite boulders and enjoying watching\nketchup blood oozing out of smithereened little skulls; or creeping into\nSinhalese fisherfolk\u2019s adobe Huts at night and chopping innocent mothers and\ninfants and men, like Tamil Nadu Roadside butchers with machetes<\/strong> (Dollar\nand Kent Farms,  Vavuniya. 30.11.1984); like pulling out 32 novice\nBuddhist monks from a pilgrim-bus and shooting them point blank. <\/strong>(Aranthalawa,\nAmparai, 2.6 1987); and bringing down the Central  Bank Building in the\nFort, Colombo, with a Truck bomb. <\/strong>(31.1.1996) The 60 tons of explosives\nbought from the Ukraine\u2019s Rubezone Chemical Factory with a cheque cut from a\nBank in Vancouver. The explosives were of 10 tons of hexagon, a plastic\nexplosive like Semtex, 50 tons of trinitrotoluol (TNT) that killed 114 \ninnocent  civilians, and 1338 were maimed for life. I know these Tamil\nTigers were no paragons of virtue.  Nor were they Babes-in-the-Woods, who\nperfected the human suicide body pack used to assassinate two Heads if State,\nRajiv Gandhi of India, and your President Premadasa of Sri Lanka.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is really not your story\nwith an apology to your City\u2019s Sinhalese-Mississaugans, then let me tell you\nMayor Bonnie Crombie;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor your naive understanding of\nseparatist Tamil deceptive politics, made you Miss-a-Saga <\/strong>of a deception\nof theirs, that got you trapped and made you slither into their well\ngingerly-oiled trap-net, trying to reach  for the slippery gingerly-oil\ncovered  election-ballots.  Pity! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A fool is born every minute\nof the day.  It is no different in the community of Canadian\npoliticians.  What a brilliant catch for the Mississauga Tamils. Another\nLiberal politician fell for the Tamil Humbuggery.  Sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure whether I want to cry\nor let my angry cart-wheeling eyes spit out dragon breath with anger<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you Missed-a-Saga<\/strong> of another unfounded Cock-and-Bull, Tamil Lie<\/strong> accusing Sri Lanka of Genocide<\/strong>. \u00a0Unfounded lie,<\/em><\/strong> I said.\u00a0 Are you able to prove it? You know what, if the Liberal\u2019s Ugly 5<\/em> (Robert Oliphant, Derek Lee, Jim Karygianni, Judy Sgro and Alibina Guanieri), <\/strong>who tried the same shenanigan during the Special Debate called by NDPs Jack Layton, on Genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka,<\/em><\/strong> on February 4, 2009 afternoon, during the Jack Layton\u2019s Canadian Tamil Blarney Gong Show,<\/strong> at the Parliament Chambers,\u00a0 they failed miserably.\u00a0 They tried to stick that label of Genocide<\/strong> with crazy glue on Sri Lanka, but it was too Tamil-Vindaloo-lying-Hot <\/strong>as an unfounded lie and the body politic of\u00a0Sri Lanka rebelled and refused to let it stick on her. Knowing what happened Mayor Crombie, you have insulted the worthy Mayoral Chain that you wear around your neck.\u00a0 Please do not try your Liberal luck again for a few hundreds of Tamil-Canadian votes.\u00a0 Pity.\u00a0 Do not give it a try again, as it’s foolish, specially, when your effort to tell the world that We are holier than thou, Sri Lanka ”, is a bitter concoction of lies, <\/em><\/strong>when we Canadians are absolutely NOT squeaky clean.\u00a0 I know it, and I am sure you know it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what Mayor Crombie, Sri\nLanka will gesture at you and say, Shish!…Lady.. see who is speaking,\nsurely not you,<\/em><\/strong> when your Canada is a maestro of Genocide<\/strong> as you\ndid it to the First Nations peoples missing and murdered girls and women. \nI think you should consider using Teflon tape across your mouth if you are not\nsure of the Tamil context when it comes for discussion at Council and at\nCaucus.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Crombie, give me\/us a break\nand stop hurting us Sinhalese-Canadians with your foolishness.  I am one\nof them, and I do not take it kindly. It is best for you to stop flirting with\nthe Tamils.  Joining them to hurt us Sinhalese -Canadians is not\nacceptable not even for a plate of Vindaloo beef, Dhal curry and \nyellow-rice,<\/em><\/strong> which had a dinner-table value of $60 at a\nfundraiser  for the Tamil Tigers organized  by FACT on May 6, 2000,\nin Toronto, attended by then Minister of Finance Paul Martin, Maria Minna,\nMinister responsible for CIDA and nine other Liberal backbenchers from the\nGreater Toronto area..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the yellow belly-aching\nTamil separatists of Mississauga, who whine and lie,  let me remind them,\nand you take notes Mayor Crombie. I demand from them to tell the Truth and\nnothing but the whole TRUTH to you Mayor Crombie and to your Councillors. \nIf not that they and You all at the City Council will hear my voice loud and\nclearly like the 12-noon chimes of the Big Ben, with the WEERASINGHE\u2019s TAMIL\nFACTS. We Canadian-Sinhalese, especially me, have had enough of your lies and\ninsults about us, the honest Sinhalese-Canadians.  And I say to you\npoliticians of all brands, to Hell with Tamil votes <\/strong>and  STOP<\/strong>\ninsulting us Sinhalese-Canadians.  We had enough of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asoka Weerasinghe (Mr.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
