SENT BY LETTER MAIL – 22 August 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Mayor Patrick Brown”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0What’s all this I read this morning, a statement\u00a0by you –Brampton Municipal Authorities in Canada turns harsh<\/em><\/strong> on Sri Lanka.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Really!\u00a0 I don’t\u00a0believe you.\u00a0 You have opened a can of Brampton\u00a0worms<\/strong>.\u00a0 I wonder how “The Brampton Municipal\u00a0authorities\u00a0of Canada” would react, if a Universal Humanist Group would erect a British Columbian designed Totem pole – a Canadian \u00a0First Nations Genocide Memorial for the thousands of Indigenous children killed at Christian Church run Residential schools,’ at the junction of Galle Road and 5th Lane in Colpetty, in Colomobo, the entrance to the Canadian High Commission Offices.. If you protest my response would be “What is good for the\u00a0goose is good for the\u00a0gander…just go to\u00a0Galle\u00a0Face Green and fly a kite.My knife cuts both ways and not one way as yours.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the base of\u00a0the totem\u00a0pole will be a plaque with Pope Francis’s statement –“I humbly\u00a0beg forgiveness for the evil committed by so many Christians against the Indigenous\u00a0peoples.” <\/em><\/strong>Pope Francis said near the site of the former Ermineskin Indian Residential\u00a0School, where unmarked graves of students who died while attending schools \u00a0were found You amaze me, Patrick. we Canadians who are maestros in interfering\u00a0in Sri Lanka’s business, and are quick to say\u00a0“Hey, We are Holier<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0than thou..”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>If you tell me that Patrick,\u00a0 I would retaliate to your face saying..,.”Cut it Patrick, that’s a load of Bull….a bunch of weak prairie<\/em><\/strong> straws blowing\u00a0in the wind.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deepal Oberoi, the Conservative\u00a0MP, emissary\u00a0of Prime Minister\u00a0Stephen Harper\u00a0who was sent down to Colombo to represent him and\u00a0Canada at the Commonwealth\u00a0Summit should count his lucky stars that Asoka Weerasinghe was not the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, as I would have \u00a0given the Lester Pearson treatment for\u00a0General\u00a0De Gaulle\u00a0 of France for interfering\u00a0Canada’s\u00a0business.\u00a0 \u00a0I would\u00a0have put Deepak on the first plane home, for\u00a0 laying\u00a0 a wreath\u00a0for the Tamils who died at Elephant\u00a0 Pass, when two peoples were at war there.\u00a0 Deepak\u00a0 was stupid. He would have\u00a0been on the first\u00a0flight\u00a0to Canada for that inexcusable arrogance…that stupidness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MP Jason Kenny was another arrogant\u00a0fool who had love-ins with your Tamils.\u00a0 He too was lucky that Asoka Weerasinghe was not the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 He went to Sri Lanka to have meetings with Sri Lankan Officials to discuss how to curb Tamil Human Smuggling.\u00a0 Then he switched the discussion, to Human Rights Violations\u00a0in\u00a0Sri Lanka,\u00a0As the Prime Minister, I would have told him “Son, Jason, it’s no good you portraying yourself as<\/em><\/strong> “I am a son of an Anglo-Saxon Evangelical,\u00a0Preacher man,<\/em><\/strong> wanting\u00a0to preach to Sri Lankans\u00a0on\u00a0Human\u00a0right violations.”<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0I would have\u00a0 stopped him right there, Patrick and would have told him,,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Son, why the heck are you here when your\u00a0people’s Attawapiskat Chief\u00a0Thersea\u00a0Spence is on a hunger strike a stone’s\u00a0throw away from<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0your parliamentary\u00a0office near\u00a0Victoria\u00a0island for the very reason that Canada has violated their\u00a0human rights. Son, they need you\u00a0more<\/em><\/strong> than I need you.\u00a0 \u00a0Take off…run…run to the airport and catch the first plane to your people.\u00a0 Stop interfering\u00a0in my business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are OK.\u00a0 And\u00a0stop telling me t<\/em><\/strong>hat “We are holier than Thou’.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 That’s a load of baloney\u00a0hanging in a stall at Byward Market,\u00a0 Come on run, Jason\u00a0run to the airport.\u00a0 I don’t need you interfering in my\u00a0 country’s business.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as for you Mayor Patrick.\u00a0 You and your buddy MP Paul Calandra, lambasted the Sri Lankan Government\u00a0 on TV for not issuing visas to get over \u00a0to Sri Lanka to supervise what\u00a0 was going on in the white tent City\u00a0 where 295,873 Tamil refugees were housed and fed three nourishing meals a day to sustain them, having been rescued from the clutches of the\u00a0Tamil Tigers\u00a0 And I asked both of you in a letter,,,”Who the hell do you think you are, when you are not even Junior\u00a0Ministers wanting\u00a0to show your importance\u00a0 Just come down from your high horses…cut out you arrogance,\u00a0 and recognize\u00a0who you are in parliament.\u00a0 Just a couple of backbenchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Patrick, I am watching\u00a0your\u00a0shenanigans .\u00a0 My challenge to you\u00a0for a public debate\u00a0still stands and my promise of a debating fee of $500.00 still stands,\u00a0 I am ready, when you\u00a0 ready.\u00a0 I will meet you with bells and whistles. I want to meet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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