Hon,. Pierre Poilievre MP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservative Party Leadership Candidate -2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Pierre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1.   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\u2019s 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 <\/strong>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,<\/em><\/strong> I said, and then committed  to deal with it with my voice and pen.  You have heard me several times.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    • Pierre you were 21 and the assistant to Stockwell Day, then Leader of Canadian<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Alliance, who was, quite rightly,  going after the Liberal Minister of Finance, Paul<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Martin, who together with Maria Minna, the Minister of CIDA, and nine other<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Liberal Party back-benchers, patronized the $60-a-plate Fundraising lunch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      in Toronto by FACT in May 2000, to collect funds for the most ruthless Terrorists<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      in the world the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) aka, Tamil Tigers,<\/em><\/strong> and Stockwell lambasted them during the Question Period in Parliament..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And Paul Martin called  your boss, Stockwell Day a Racist<\/strong>\u201d during Question Period in Parliament.  I watched it on CPAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You phoned me asking me to support Stockwell on his stance against Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      supporting the  most ruthless terrorist group in the world, the LTTE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And I did.  Two days later, early morning you phoned me and said –\u201d Asoka,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      your letter is in, in The Ottawa Citizen, and Thanks Asoka for supporting<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Minister Stockwell Day.\u201d;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • 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.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        • 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\u2019s office to Thank\u201d them for banning the Tamil Tigers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               5.   Pierre, this is what I wrote to Conservative Foreign Minister, Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Cannon on May 20, 2009, a day after the Tamil Tigers were annihilated by <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, after reading his pathetic Press Release, the <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     worst that ever came out of Canada’s Foreign Ministry Office. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     A war that every country including Canada  said it was an unwinnable war, and <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     wanted Sri Lanka to hand over to the Eelamists the land that  they claimed were <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     theirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     And the separatist Tamils had been spoiling  for a fight, and finally they did for 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      bloody years until Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his armed forces <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      of  brave, heroic  men and women got the Tamil Tiger leader, Velupillai<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Prabhakaran with a bullet through his forehead on the sands of the Nandikadal <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Lagoon, on 18 May, 2009. And, of course, Pierre, we Canadians didn\u2019t like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Shucks! That was too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      But here is what is so despicable about it, and that includes you. No Canadian <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      parliamentarian has  given credit to Gotabaya\u2019s heroic men and women in khaki <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     and surge, for their Classic Textbook, Human Rights Act <\/em><\/strong>for giving back the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Right-to-Life<\/em><\/strong> to 20.5  million of their people which had been hijacked by the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Tamil Tigers for 30-bloodying- years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     So much for the hypocritical-bleeding hearts of the world that was so concerned  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      about Human Rights violations during the Eelam terrorist war.  Pierre, what <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Bull\u2026what Hogwash\u2026. what  a crotch full of cods-wallop\u2026what strings of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      baloney hanging in a stall at  the Byward Market\u2026what  decorative strings of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Masala wade<\/em><\/strong> hanging at  the entrance of a Haro Hara  Eelam Curry Hut!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Pierre, here is one more despicable act of insolence by yours and my Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Who failed to acknowledge the  amazing  Classic Textbook example of a <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Human Rights Act, when 295,873 Tamil refugees who were marched from <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       the <\/strong>west coast  to the east  coast of Sri Lanka for 60-months, like a herd of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       unwashed cattle as a Human Shield by the Tamil Tigers under a scorching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Jaffna-Killinochchi sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       It was Gotabaya\u2019s heroic men and women in khaki and serge. that <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       rescued them\u2019,<\/strong> and absolutely no one, including you talks about this amazing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Human Rights Act.  Pierre, and that is down right being \u2018sick\u2019.   Explain <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Pierre\u2026explain.  Why?  Do I smell a nasty rat here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Dear Minister Lawrence Cannon:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   6<\/strong>.  By then Pierre, you certainly knew that Canada was supporting this Tamil <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   terrorist group, and were aiding and abetting the terrorist war in Sri Lanka, by <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   letting theTamil separatist diaspora collect  $2 million a month for 13 long Liberal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   years to  stuff the Tamil Tigers war chest, to buy  sophisticated military weapons <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   to kill my Sinhalese  people together with my Muslim brothers and sisters for the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   want of their  Mono-ethnic, separate, racist Tamil state of Eelam, <\/em><\/strong>carved out of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   33% of the  sovereign Land of the island in the North and East of Sri Lanka,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    bordered by 66%  of the coastline for 12.6% of the Tamil population (then).  The <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Tamil population may have dwindled to about 6% now, as almost all of them flew<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    out of their Cuckoo’s-nests, thumbing their noses at their Mother India, searching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    for roads paved with gold and the lands  over  their fences that were greener than<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    theirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              7.<\/strong>  Pierre, you certainly knew that the Tamils cut a cheque from a Bank account of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Factory in the Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          It were these  high explosives that were used in a truck bomb to bring down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          the Central Bank Building in Colombo\u2019s 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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                8.  Canada\u2019s support for the Tamil Tiger terrorists, the most ruthless terrorists <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     in the world according to the UN:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          i. Ian Cotler<\/strong>, the Minister of Justice for the Liberal Government admitted to the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             Editorial Board of the National Post,<\/em><\/strong> that the Liberals were not willing to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             antagonize the Tamil community, and thus not willing to ban the Liberation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             Tigers of Tamil Eelam aka Tamil Tigers, the killer terrorists\u2019. The Liberals did<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             not want to lose their votes.  But didn\u2019t mind sacrificing the lives of my<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             Innocent  Sinhalese people.  That is how the Liberals selfish cookie crumbled,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             And I a Sinhalaee-Canadian will never, ever forget this nasty Canadian horror<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  ii.    Pierre, the evening of November 5, 2007, was dark, cold, shivering  and wet <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        and nine Liberal MPs, stood in vigil with thousands of Tamils at Markham Fair<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Ground in memory of S.P. ThamilChelvan, the leader of the Political Wing of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         the Tamil Tigers who was killed by a bomb dropped on the building in <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         Kilinochchi where he was in a palaver with four other combatant Tamil Tiger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         Terrorists.. That evening all the Liberal MPs lambasted the Sri Lanka<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         Government for that killing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       One of the Liberal Parliamentary jokers, Borys Wrzesnewskyj <\/strong>(Etobicoke<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Center), having lambasted the Sri Lanka Government christened the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Tamil Tigers as Doves of Peace\u201d.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       <\/strong>That was a sick joke, Pierre, hoping to pick up every Tamil vote of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       thousands who stood in vigil with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Holy Moses, Pierre, a few weeks later these Liberal parliamentary <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Crap-shooters couldn\u2019t find a place to hide their faces, not even in their kitchen <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        sinks, as their  Doves of Peace\u201d <\/strong>mutated at a steady pace and turned  into <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        brutal \u201dKiller  Doves\u201d <\/strong>and went on killing the unarmed innocent Sinhalese, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        with sophisticated  war- weapons bought out of funds collected in Canada.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        What a hoot!   What  nine sick Liberal jokers.  All for the want of the Tamil <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        votes. Haro..Hara!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Pierre, at 8:05 in the morning of Wednesday, November 28, one of the Liberal <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       women Doves of Peace<\/strong>, a Tamil Tiger suicide bomber with a bomb hidden in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       her bra blew herself trying to assassinate Douglas Devananda, a Tamil, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Minister of Social Services, killing his Coordinating Secretary, and seriously<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       injuring 10 others of the Public Relations Office, and a Sub-Inspector of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Police, a personal bodyguard to the Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Pierre, this was the 279th suicide bombing by the Liberals \u2018Doves of Peace\u2019<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       that you foolishly seem to be sucking up to.  Shame on you, grovelling at their <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       feet for their Tamil votes. Well.  Pierre, such is the Canadian Federal <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Government Politics and their shameless politicians who have sold their souls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       for  the Tamil separatist cause,  If such action by you is going to hurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       and destroy my dignity and others of my Sinhalese community.  I tell you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       quite candidly.  Don\u2019t . Stop  it, right now! <\/em><\/strong> I have already struck you off my list <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       of well wishers who will be getting my Christmas card this December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                9<\/strong>.    Dear Pierre, so that you know. <\/em><\/strong> In your Dear Friend\u201d<\/em><\/strong> communication of  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       August 7, 2022, you said\u2026\u201dI will work hand in glove with our allies to <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       provide an economic partnership – prioritizing those most impacted by <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       these difficult times  and by opening permanent consulate services in <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       <\/em><\/strong>I only hope you won\u2019t emulate the Judy Sgro, Liberal Minister of Immigation\u2019s <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       arrogance,  who just after the Tsunami of Boxing Day of 2004, exposed her <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       arrogant shenanigan, when she told  in parliament, that it was not necessary <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       for Canada to get permission from the Sri Lanka Government to open a <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Consulate Office in Jaffna.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      <\/em><\/strong> Pierre, this is what I told this foolish Canadian Cabinet Minister in a letter.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       \u2018Judy, it  Is time you get back to College and audit a course in Diplomacy <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       and hide in the Canadian High Commissioner’s residence, and put you on <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       the first plane out of Colombo to bring you back to Ottawa. Hope you <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       won\u2019t embarrass  yourself, your political party and the Country you<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       represent.  Just cut it, Judy.  Just cut it!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Canadian leadership by standing with the human rights <\/em><\/strong>advocates, support<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       For Pete\u2019s sake Pierre, give me a break! There is a tinge of arrogance in that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Conservative stupidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       The Godfather of Tamil Tiger terrorism, Canada, falls flat on its face. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                       Canada who had a penchant to paint itself lilly-white,<\/em><\/strong> and at the bat of its <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 Montreal Road in East Ottawa, serving the Indigenous and First Nation peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 Pierre, if you haven\u2019t been there, then go..  That wall will be the litmus test to know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 whether you have an honest and a compassionate heart, as you will come out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 with tears welled in your eyes, the way the \u2018white-Canadians treated the First  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Survivors of St. Anne\u2019s residential school have spent decades in court, <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                This bit of news gives me the incentive to ask you Pierre don\u2019t be a fool to rush <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 in <\/em><\/strong> where angels fear to tread\u201d<\/em><\/strong>  Be careful as your honesty\u201d in your credibility as <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 garner Tamil votes. What bullish, foolishness!.  Is it worth it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          13<\/strong>.  Pierre, now I gather that at age 43, you have promoted yourself as the Saviour of <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 the Sri Lankan Tamils, who you believed were persecuted. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 Persecuted\u201d <\/strong>you say.  Pierre, I am sorry  to say that with that accusation of guilt,  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 I have come to the conclusion that you know sweet-nothing <\/em><\/strong>of the ground situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 in Sri Lanka.  The Tamils have  massaged your mind and brain to make you look an <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 absolute Dunce-capped fool.  They have figured out your vulnerability, ready to kiss <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 their feet for the  promise of 1000 Tamil votes.  What a way to be a politician.  When<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 the Tamils ask you to jump, so you jump; in case you lose 500 Tamil votes if you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 Don\u2019t.  This is a belly-aching Hoot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Here is what it was on the ground,when July 1983 riots took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The predominantly Tamil Jaffna District had 555 government schools for the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Tamil student population of 207,524, and the capital City of Colombo  had<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  only 251 such schools for 231,609 students.  This is not a tricky question as even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  a Grade 5 student will come up with the right answer. Pierre, with this TRUTH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  were the Tamils persecuted?;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Jaffna Tamil District had 41%  of their schools equipped with  government <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  approved science laboratories,  compared to the all island average of 19.6% <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Government approved Science laboratories.  Pierre, with this TRUTH were the <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    was a Tamil (S. Pasupati). Pierre, with this TRUTH were the Tamils <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    persecuted?<\/em> <\/strong>You can be Judge and Jury in this  Canadian-Tamil-Conservative <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    numbing rose bushes with idiot-thorns!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            14.   <\/strong> In your Dear Friend\u201d<\/em><\/strong>  epistle of August 7, 2022,  you said, You don\u2019t<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      need a soldier every five meters on the streets of Toronto – and yet the <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      peaceful Sri Lankan northeast now constitutes one of the most militarized <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      <\/em><\/strong>Pierre, that statement shows that you are a naive politician, nor are you a leader<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      of a country, trying to save your country and its peoples from terrorists who <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Pierre, have you not come across such incidents where Leaders of countries <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      adapt extraordinary measures to deal with extraordinary  situations.  If you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      haven’t  Pierre, look no further. Roll back 52-years of Canada\u2019s modern-history<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     <\/em><\/strong>Pierre, so that you know this is what happened.  The October Crisis <\/strong>took place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     in Quebec in the autumn of 1970.. The Crisis was the culmination of terrorist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     attacks perpetrated by the Front de Liberation du Quebec<\/em><\/strong> (FLQ), a Quebec<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Independence Movement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    <\/strong> On 5 October 1970, the FLQ kidnapped the British Trade  Commissioner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      James Cross in Montreal.  Within the next two weeks the FLQ also kidnapped<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     and killed Quebec\u2019s Minister of Immigration and Labour Pierre Laporte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     <\/em><\/strong>Quebec\u2019s Premier Robert Boroussa and Montreal\u2019s Mayor Jean Drapeau<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     asked for Federal Government help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Pierre, this is how the Liberal Party Prime Minister,  Pierre Trudeau \u2018s Federal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Government helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     For one kidnapping and one killing of a Provincial Government  Minister, Prime <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Minister Pierre Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act <\/strong>to nip in the bud of the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     FLQ terrorist movement.  That decision flooded the Ottawa Streets with army<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     fatigued soldiers cradling assault-rifles like babies.  And  at every street corner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     there were soldiers with assault rifles with a finger on the trigger ready to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Pierre, you were still not born then, but I witnessed it all as I was landing at<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Ottawa\u2019s old airport around 4:00 in the afternoon on October 16.         <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     I witnessed from the plane\u2019s window, at least 50 helicopters buzzing in the sky <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     like monster mosquitoes.   That was my introduction and welcome to Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    The following day  I learnt that it was a real Military drill and not a film set for a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Walt Disney film Aliens coming to take Canadians away.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      And you, Mister Piere Poilievre, had the gall and the temerity  to make that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     snarky comment about Sri Lanka – You don\u2019t need a soldier every five meters<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     on the streets of Toronto – and yet the peaceful Sri Lankan northeast now <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     constitutes one of the most militarized  non-conflict regions in the world.\u201d    <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     <\/em><\/strong>Pierre, the more you try to win the Tamill votes, the more You are getting <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     entangled badly in the Canadian Political Web of Deceit. <\/em>    My humble advice<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     to you Pierre, is to snip your umbilical cord which is still attached to the <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Separatist-Tamils and get down from your High Horse and renew your faith <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     in Honesty and Truth which will take you a long way as a politician. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

           15<\/strong>Pierre, under such a background where Canada aided and abetted the most <\/p>\n\n\n\n

           ruthless terrorist outfit in the world,, the Tamil Tigers, and prolonged that war<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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\u2019s prodigies , the Tamil Tiger terrorists, who were annhilated on 19 May 2009,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          by Gotabaya Rajapaksa\u2019s team of heroic  men and women soldiers still living<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          and dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          I see that the penalty for annihilating the Tamil Tigers, and  giving back the most paramount Human Rights the Right-to-Life<\/em><\/strong>  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\u2026not worth two dead capelin washed on the shores of Newfoundland\u2019s Middle Cove, or two prairie straws waving in desperation in the  chilling cold wind\u2026 what ratty tosh!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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\u2026dream on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

           16.   In Conclusion, <\/strong>you have been lucky that you heard from three top veteran <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   Sinhala-Canadian activists, Mahinda Gunasekera, Ira de Silva and Jaliya <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   Wickramarachchi, who have been working on this file since  24 July 1983, who <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    had advised you, who had questions for you on your involvement in <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   lambasting the Sri Lanka Government in support of the Tamil separatists, as a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    favour to gain their votes at a federal election. The choice is yours to heed to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    what they said, and shut your gob on this file without getting entangled in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Canadian Political web of deceit any further.,  Failing you will remain at the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    bottom of my heap of the arrogant and foolish Canadian Conservatives, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    twinned with Brampton\u2019s Mayor Patrick Brown, who thinks he is God and wants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   to change what is Sri Lanka today,  and hand it over to the Tamils.  What a clown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                 Let me repeat what one veteran activist told you.  Ira de Silva said – I suggest <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   that you get Your facts correct and not merely parrot what you are told by <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   the very people who funded and supported terrorism in Sri Lanka.  It is <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    obvious that you are ignorant of the situation in Sri Lanka both past and<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    present.  Please educate yourself and not merely repeat the inaccurate<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    biased information given to you by your LTTE constituents in Canada who<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   are the very people who for decades funded terrorism in Sri Lanka.  <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   Canadian politicians who just want Votes in Canada and have no concern <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   for the people who live in Sri Lanka are willing to say and do whatever it <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                   takes hoping that they will get votes in Canada.   That is a damning<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
