Sad it may sound, but it is the truth.&nbsp;\nFacts are there for all of us to see, so I don\u2019t need to be polite or to be\nvery diplomatic. It is for you to accept or reject&nbsp; my words of\n\u2018crystal-ball caution.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notwithstanding what you think of this Tamil community who say\nthey have been discriminated against and persecuted back home, I tell you that\n90% of them who got onto the planes at Colombo airport with legitimate\npassports landed their feet on Canadian soil with no valid travel documents to\nshow the Immigration Officers.&nbsp; <strong><em>Hmmmmm&#8230;poor things<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, one\nwould say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legitimate legal travel documents lost in the plane in an\namazing A-B-R-A-C-A-D-A-B-R-A&nbsp; Act by these travellers were all economic\nrefugees.&nbsp; And I bet my last dollar that 90% of them&nbsp; wouldn\u2019t have\nhad a <em>Snowball chance in Hell <\/em>to enter Canada as legitimate-immigrants\nif they were considered by the Canadian Immigration to accept them as new\nimmigrants,&nbsp;after their evaluation according to the point system.&nbsp;\nNot a chance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be a crude and a rude remark after my observations, but\nthat is how it is indeed,&nbsp; and that\u2019s the rub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost all of these Convention Refugees will be on a plane to Sri\nLanka after they receive their Canadian passports, and that is proof positive\nthat a lot of them were economic refugees.&nbsp; And they lied their way in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there any of you who want to challenge me on it, Councillor\nUsman? Take me on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><em>Manthra<\/em><\/strong> they have used to their advantage was <strong><em>We\ngot votes<\/em><\/strong>\u201d.&nbsp; You scratch my back and I will scratch yours with our\nTamil bloc votes.

A\nsirloin steak on the dinner plate rather than a Hamburger, That\u2019s how the\nMarkham<em> (Eelam-Makkam)<\/em> demo-crazy works, isn\u2019t it!&nbsp; This is how\nthis&nbsp; ethnic refugee political game of chess is being played. pitting the\ntwo Sri Lankan -Canadian communities, Tamils and Sinhalese, with \u2018kick-arse\u2019\nanger, on both sides, won\u2019t it!&nbsp; For God\u2019s sake stop this foolishness\nright now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Usman,&nbsp; to please these <strong><em>Eelam-Makkam Tamils,<\/em><\/strong>\nI won&#8217;t be surprised even if you let your Tamil community spray paint your Ward\n7 sky, a Sinhalese Blood Red, the colour that they loved to spill during the\n30-year long separatist War, which is also the colour of the Eelam flag. You\ngive in Councillor Usman,&nbsp;and here is what you are walking into by\nproviding space for the Tamil Memorial in your Ward 7, a <strong>Memorial Graveyard<\/strong>\nfor all the once refugee ethnic communities that make up Ward 7 of the City of\nMarkham.&nbsp; It is your choice Councillor Usman.
