Mayor Linda Jeffrey
\nCity of Brampton the \u2018Flower City\u2019
\n2 Wellington Street West,
\nBrampton, ON. L6Y 4R2<\/p>\n

Dear Madam Mayor Linda Jeffrey:<\/p>\n

Re: proposed \u00a0marriage of the City of Brampton with Sri Lanka\u2019s northern city Vavuniya as your gender specific, \u2018sister-city\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow! \u00a0What\u2019s going on in your neck of the woods of Ontario? \u00a0I am told that Ontario\u2019s City of Markham has been or will be married with Mullaitivu, a Northern city of Sri Lanka as their sister-city.<\/p>\n

But at least Markham was smart to pick a historical city to join hands with, as that is the city where Velupillai Prabhakaran, the fascist leader of the Tamil terrorist organization Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam<\/em> (LTTE aka Tamil Tigers) was shot dead on the shores of the Nandikadal lagoon on 19 May 2009, after he haemorrhaged that beautiful little island with bombs, bullets, claymore mines and suicide bombs in a war of 30 long years. A war that killed over 100,000 peoples among them was two heads of states, Rajiv Gandhi of India and President Ranasinghe Premadasa of Sri Lanka. \u00a0\u00a0All for the want of a mono-ethnic, racist, separate Tamil state, Eelam.<\/p>\n

What pride have you got to speak of Vavuniya as your sister-city?\u00a0 The only legitimacy that I can think \u00a0of is that you may want to change the name of your City of Brampton to, City of Bramptamil, sounding musically apt, after your city\u2019s Tamil population will mutate \u00a0from 20,000 to 40,000 and then to 60,000 with Tamil immigrants, Tamil refugees and family unifications in a few years. \u00a0It will be a windfall of Votes…votes…votes for you and your party colleagues as City Councillors.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that so Madam. Mayor! \u00a0\u00a0To me it is cheap, disingenuous and stinks .\u00a0 \u00a0I am baffled that you did not want to have your city marry with the City of Killinochchi,<\/em> also from the North of Sri Lanka, as this city has history.\u00a0 That is where the Tamil Tiger Headquarters was, where our Canadian\u00a0 Mission diplomats went to pay their hosannas to these Tamil Tiger terrorists, according to the UN was the most ruthless of all terrorist organizations in the world.\u00a0 These are the guys who perfected the art of suicide bombing by perfecting the suicide body pack.\u00a0 By the time the Tamil Tigers were militarily defeated they had detonated 388 human suicide bombs, over half of them were young kidnapped and brain-washed females.<\/p>\n

The last census of 2012 told us that there were 141,269 Tamils in the District of Vavuniya and of them 119,286 were Hindus.\u00a0 So I suppose you will want to hand-pick the best and high-caste Vavuniya Tamils to be brought over to your City of Bramptamil…I mean Brampton.\u00a0 I suppose you got the best real estate to see a few Hindu Kovils of worship mushrooming around your City to beautify it architectually, and scores of eateries, like Bramptamil Curry Hut, Vavuniya Kanji Cafe, Tamil-Linda Restaurant,etc., \u00a0popping up that will help the city\u2019s economy.\u00a0 Good thinking, Madam Mayor!<\/p>\n

Madam I wonder which of the Ontario cities would want to marry with Cities like Jaffna,\u00a0 Velvettithurai and Chavakachcheri.\u00a0 There are plenty of Tamils in these cities who would love to and are dreaming of coming to Canada even in sardine-packed rickety, rusty boats endangering their lives.<\/p>\n

It is luck of the draw and there are hundreds, and \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0hundreds, and hundreds of votes right there in the Tamil community.\u00a0 And their moto will be, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.\u00a0 Bring our people to Brampton, and you will have our bloc vote.<\/p>\n

And such is Canadian democracy, federal, provincial and municipal.\u00a0 Cunning and nasty.<\/p>\n

But let me make one prediction. Be careful what you wish for.\u00a0 Down the years, these Tamils will finally want to claim the City of Bramptamil as their third homeland, as they already have Tamil Nadu in South India,as their homeland where 72 million of their kith and kin live.\u00a0 They ethnically cleansed Sri Lanka\u2019s North and East by terrorizing, killing, stoning and chasing away non-Tamils who had lived in Sri Lanka\u2019s North and East provinces for generations. \u00a0\u00a0And now these Tamils in Sri Lanka are claiming the North and East of the island as their second homeland. \u00a0And be sure that the City of Bramptamil\u00a0 will not be claimed as their third homeland.\u00a0 And I bet my last dollar you that down the road they will, and Bramptamil will be a trilingual city \u2013 Tamil, English and French.\u00a0 Write this prediction, encase it in a metal tube as a \u2018Time-capsule\u2019 and bury it somewhere in \u00a0Brampton\u2019s City Hall to be opened only on January 1, 2050.\u00a0 My crystal ball reading says that the Bramptamilians will light crackers and jump up and down with joy sipping on imported small bottles of Vauniya- toddy when they find out that my prediction was absolute correct \u2013 BINGO!<\/p>\n

You know Madam Mayor, ego is part and parcel of a politician that gives them currency to win votes.\u00a0 So be careful of the Tamil cunning that will boost your ego by naming one of your \u2018sister-city\u2019 \u00a0Vavuniya\u2019s streets as \u2018Linda Jeffrey Boulevard\u2019<\/em><\/strong> and expecting you to reciprocate by naming one of Bramptamil streets as \u2018Prabhakaran Street\u2019<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0And that is the catch.\u00a0 You won\u2019t have created a precedent as Markham already has with aTamil-Eelam name.\u00a0 Vanni Street<\/em> which was unveiled on May 11, 2013, at the site on 14th<\/sup> Avenue between Middlefield Road and Markham Road.\u00a0 And I bet there will be more to come.<\/p>\n

The name Vanni<\/em><\/strong> is the name given to the mainland area of Sri Lanka\u2019s Northern Province where the Tamil Tiger terrorists ruled for many years as their de facto<\/em> separate Tamil state.\u00a0 So watch it Madam Mayor.\u00a0 You are now caught in their cunning-vice.<\/p>\n

When it happens, all what I will tell you is, Holy-moly Madam Mayor, I warned you, didn\u2019t I!\u201d<\/p>\n

How ever much it sounds \u00a0disingenuous and stupid, I wish you good luck, Madam Linda Jeffrey,\u00a0 and may your dreams of winning the next election with the profusion of the Tamil votes will happen to boost your pathetic ego.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

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