CANADA DAY 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Excellency Eric Walsh
Canadian High Commissioner\u00a0to Sri Lanka
33A, 5th Lane, Colpetty
Colombo\u00a03
Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear High Commissioner Eric Walsh:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Canada urged again not to repeat genocide lie”. <\/strong> That was a howling indictment against Canada that was taken up again by Sri Lanka’s Foreign Secretary Aruni Wijewardane, when she took up the issue when she met Canadian<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Minister for International Development, Christopher MacLennan at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 28, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot ignore the fact that he is from the same Ministry whose\u00a0Minister\u00a0Maria Minna patronized a $60-a-plate Fundraising\u00a0dinner organized by FACT, the Federation of Associations of Canadian Tamils, for the Tamil Tiger Terrorists on 6 May 2000 inToronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand\u00a0that the dinner\u00a0plate included “ooos…ooos hot kukul-muss curry, parippu, coconut sambol and<\/em><\/strong> white\u00a0rice.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope your colleague Chrisopher heard\u00a0the indictment\u00a0loud and clear\u00a0like the Christmas Church bells\u00a0 of the Notre Dame Basilica\u00a0on Sussex Drive on Christmas Day.\u00a0 In case you\u00a0didn’t notice Foreign Secretary Aruni’s words were a very Hot Spicy Salad\u00a0Dressing <\/em><\/strong>on Words that\u00a0meant its business Canada. Translating the words into simple\u00a0English, they meant “Canada…enough is enough, let’s cut it!”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> And I say, “Good for you Aruni.\u00a0 This is not the time for polite-wimpish\u00a0diplomacy!”.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr.High Commissioner, don’t you think that it’s time that our politicians stop playing that insidious game of “WE are<\/em><\/strong> holier than Thou!”<\/em><\/strong>, like snakes and ladders, when they point their fingers at Sri Lanka when the international world says that there was No “Genocide<\/strong>” in Sri Lanka during the Eelamist separatist 30-year war.  Even the United Nations says so. That itself should be kosher enough to stop these verbal silly shenanigans. (It’s True Though<\/em><\/strong>);<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada which has been maestros of “Genocide” with the proof of discoveries<\/em><\/strong> of more than 1,300 umarked graves at the sites of former residenial schools ol Western Canadian First Nation peoples should not be that disingenuous speaking of Sri Lanka, who single handedly annihilated the ruthless Tamil Tiger Terrorists on 19 May 2009. (It’s True Though);<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That War, a Textbook Classic on International Terrorists Annihilations, gave back to 20 million peoples their right-to-life, <\/strong>which had been hijacked for 30-bloody years by these ruthless Tamil Tiger terrorists. (It’s True Though<\/em>);<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Amnesty International’s  voice on this score, may I ask?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Commissioner Walsh, let’s stop this vulger-deceit, uncouth Tommy-rot which has little value of that of two prairie straws swaying in the wind, an unwise plate-tectonic shock-strong harassment and bullying of a smaller Commonwealth sister nation by being a lying Canadian-Halloween story teller, of Sri Lankan Genocide of the Tamils which never happened, ever happened…..Let me repeat, with what an Honest Tamilian Nallur<\/em> Great Spirit riding on a peacock would say, Haro…Hara, <\/em>for God’s sake believe me, this never happened (It’s TrueThough);<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT<\/strong>– High Commissioner Walsh, you know and I know that this is all about Canada’s shameful involvement of\u00a0 “Electoral Tamil immigrant (refugee) vote bank\u00a0politics.”\u00a0 Shish! What a brainless farce! (It’s True\u00a0Though<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The  facts are clear as the shining glitter of the vast chandelier hanging in the foyer in Ottawa’s Chateau Laurier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the FACTs and pass it on to your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as he knows sweet nothing when he narrates Kiwi-polished Tamil boot licking Fairy Tales, that\u00a0 there were Genocide of Sri Lankan Tamils.<\/em><\/strong> He keeps repeating it like a Hokus-pokus Tamil Manthra at public events when he has no proof to show like unmarked graves,\u00a0 body buried potholes or sinkholes along\u00a0 both sides of Highway\u00a0A9 along the Kilinochchi-Jaffna\u00a0stretch controlled\u00a0by the Tamil Tigers in the Northern Jaffna District.\u00a0 That is how bad the ratting-insult\u00a0of Sri Lanka is,.by<\/a>. Canada.\u00a0 I am embarrassed\u00a0for Canada, which I adopted as my Home, on an invitation by the Canadian National Museums Corporation, on October 16, 1970, to help them create 15 brand\u00a0new exhibition halls at the Victoria Memorial Museum\u00a0in Ottawa, for the National Museum of Natural\u00a0Sciences\u00a0and the National Museum\u00a0of Man.\u00a0 I arrived\u00a0from London, England,\u00a0having dumped\u00a0a well paying\u00a0career as a Geologist – a Liberal research scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FACT<\/strong> is that the separatist Tamils were spoiling for a fight since the early 1970s and now are crying like Man-babies having had their butts whipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then 12% of the 15-million population were claiming one-third of the island’s Northern real.-estate as their mono-ethnic, racist Tamil State, Eelam, bordered by 60% of the coastline.  But what they did not intimate was that all the Tamils in the rest of the island would make a bee-line, happy and proud to have their own Eelam, dancing their way beating tom-toms to the rhythm of “Thunai-lakadi, thantha-lakadi…”,<\/em><\/strong> abandoning the rest of the island for the majority ‘wronged’ Sinhalese, and the minority Muslims and Burghers and other mini-minority groups., to live peacefully, together happily ever-after.  It is a hellava-how-do-you do, isn’t it, High Commissioner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FACT <\/strong>is that the separatist Tamils ethnically cleansed the North by kicking out 27,000 Sinhalese between 1971 and 1981 through  threats of terrorism who had lived there for many, many, many generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 13 August 1977, the Tamil separatists stoned and chased 400 Sinhalese lecturers and undergraduates from the northern Jaffna University campus.  They were escorted by the Army and Police and brought South  at 7 o’clock in the evening in buses lying on the floor away from a storm of rocks and stones.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethnic cleansing continued when the Tamil separatists made Adi Amin of Uganda look an Angel when he gave the Ugandan-Indians three months to leave Uganda, while the Tamil Tiger terrorist gave 90,000 Muslims in the North and East to leave within 36 hours to get out,  leaving their gold jewellery and other valuables at their nearest mosques. (It’s True Though)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here lies the problem of High Commissioner Walsh<\/strong>, so the Tamils have claimed that the North and East is theirs – the Tamil speaking peoples.  That they claim is proof after ethnic cleansing through thuggery and terrorism, when they know that it would be difficult for such a claim to be proved historically,  archaeologically, ethnologically, ethnographically, and the likes.  Lies of Genocide<\/em><\/strong> of Tamils by the Prime Minister of Canada himself does not help their historical claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are strings of Tamil  red chilli-masala-wade being sold in Tamil Curry Huts, as that they are  special flowers to garland foolish Canadian politicians by their Tamil constituents around the  Province of Ontario to make the Liberal and Conservative politicians feel Ha! Ha!!  I am good and pat their own backs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foolish Mayor Patrick Brown is planning to erect a Memorial Monument for the Tamils who died during the Tamil separatist terrorist Ethnic  War., and not for the Sinhalese who too lost their lives in the scores of thousands.  Brown’s clumsy copy-cat arrogance is the Colonial A,B,C, of the divide and rule policy. It is common -Grade 5- sense that there were two peoples in this war.   And what he is doing is to provoke the Sinhalese community by kicking this sleeping  massive 2,600-year old roaring lion who is carrying a sharp-sword in his right front- paw.  With this scenario  Canada seeking a Reconciliation having aided and abetted the Tamils to win this ethnic war  is a ;perfect example of  political clowning of Re-Con-Silly-a-Shun.<\/strong>  How foolish can Mayor Patrick Brown be! (It’s True though)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT<\/strong> -Mr. High Commissioner, I said Canada\u00a0 was aiding and abetting\u00a0Tamil terrorism.\u00a0 Let me explain as Its; True though!\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> It is us Canadians that let theTamil separatists collect 2-million dollars a month to stuff\u00a0their Tamil Tiger\u00a0terrorist\u00a0war chest for 13-years\u00a0during the Jean Chretian and Paul Martin Liberal Government years. to buy modern sophisticated war weapons to kill my Sinhalese and my surrogate\u00a0Muslim\u00a0brothers and sisters.(It’s True Though).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT, <\/strong>it’s we Canadians who let Kumaran pull off what may be the largest-ever purchase of explosives by the Liberation Tigers  (LTTE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September\u00a022, 1993, the sum of $990.987 was wired from an HSBC\u00a0Bank Account in Vancouver.\u00a0 The amount was in\u00a0the name of B.Thambirajah, but it was controlled by the LTTE senior leadership\u00a0in Canada. In November\u00a01994, the LTTE purchased 50 tonnes of TNT and\u00a010 tonnes\u00a0of hexagon, plastic explosives like Semtex, and a large quantity of electric\u00a0timing\u00a0caps and detonator cord from the Rubezone Chemical ‘Factory<\/strong>\u00a0in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, High Commissioner Walsh,,we finger point at Sri Lanka and mock Sri Lankan authorities\u00a0as We are Holier<\/strong> than Thou<\/strong>.\u00a0 What putrid Canadian Hog-wash, High Commissioner\u00a0Walsh.\u00a0 I don’t buy it. (It’s True Though)<\/strong>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT.<\/strong>\u00a0 High Commissioner Walsh, these were the explosives that were\u00a0used to bring down the Central\u00a0Bank \u00a0building in Colombo’ Business District, in a truck bomb on 31 January 1996, killing 86 and injuring and maiming \u00a01328 others for life..\u00a0 Among\u00a0them was a staff\u00a0officer, a Ph.D from Ottawa U.\u00a0 What a waste. (It’s True Though<\/em><\/strong>) Forgive me for\u00a0 mentioning what you already\u00a0know,\u00a0but it’s worth\u00a0reminding you of Mayor\u00a0Patrick Brown’s Tamil friends\u00a0Horror story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT.<\/strong>  High Commissioner  Walsh, explain to me with Your Canadian diplomatic brilliance how would you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

reconcile of the fact that the Sri Lankan Armed Forces pooh..poohed the Canadian lie that they were on the War path to commit Genocide<\/strong> of the Tamils, when they saved the lives of 295,873 Tamils by rescuing them from the clutchers of the Tamil Tiger terrorists who used them as a Human Shield for a long 6-months, marching them from the West Coast to the East coast like an unwashed herd of cattle under a hot Killinochchi-Jaffna scorching sun. And inhumanly worse…with crying  pangs of hunger with no sufficient food to eat or feed their children and feeble mothers, grandmothers, fathers and grandfathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know the facts High Commissioner, how the Sri Lankan  Armed Forces acted as platoons of Angelic saviours <\/em><\/strong>by housing the 295,873 rescued Tamils in a  temporary white tent city and some Sinhalese soldiers turning out to be Chefs to cook a million Dietitian-controlled hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners a day.  It would have been easy to bump them off as what theTamil Tigers did on 11 June 1990 to the 700 unarmed policemen who had surrendered after being promised to be sent South unharmed, but they were asked to kneel tied their hands at their backs and shot dead through their skulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. High Commissioner Eric Walsh, with such FACTS that I have propounded, for your understanding, as a McGill educated honest human being, I say to you that the Liberal’s Canada have failed me miserably with their policy on Sri Lanka , with one and only exception of an honest Liberal parliamentarian, who is Chandra Arya the MP for Nepean with whom I am willing to break bread and share a cup of good Ceylon Orange Pekoe tea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as a concluding remark I endorse what Sri Lanka’s Foreign Secretary  Aruni Wijewardane had to say —“Canada urged again not to<\/strong> repeat genocide lie.”   <\/strong>  And I say to Canada…Let’s cut that  vulgar deceit, uncouth tommy-rot  and codswallop, and stop harassing and  bullying a smaller Commonwealth sister nation of yours, just because you have a shameful involvement in “Electoral Tamil immigrant (Refugee) vote bank politics.” <\/em><\/strong>and I just don’t buy it, and You got my goat.    And here is an adaptation of a Nursery rhyme that all you Liberal MPs sang when you were kids, to keep at the back of your minds when you are jockeyed to support the Sri Lanka policy of “GENOCIDE<\/strong>” by your Whip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    “Ring-..a ring O Liberal roses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                     Pocket full of Tamil voters,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                     Artishoo…artishoo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                     You will all Fall Down!”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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