Jag Sahota<\/strong>
Conservative Candidate for\u00a0 the Calgary-Skyview Riding Campaign<\/strong> for Canada’s Federal election of October 2019, seeking Ananda Wijesinghe’s VOTE..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Jag:I am not in your riding but in the Ottawa-Vanier\nConstituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might ask – Why the heck are you writing to me\nthen?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It is a dam good Question Jag..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was privy to the note sent to you\u00a0by my good friend,\u00a0Ananda Wijesinghe<\/em><\/strong> a constituent of yours, a Canadian-Sri Lankan Sinhalese , like me in his response to your request for his VOTE he said – ” No Sri Lankan Canadian will VOTE for\u00a0a Conservative Party Candidate. – never since former Tories idiotically supported\u00a0the\u00a0Tamil Terrorists Diaspora (Ontario) that waged\u00a0 30 years of\u00a0carnage\u00a0by<\/strong> terrorism to bifurcate the little island\u00a0for a day-dream\u00a0of a totally\u00a0Racial Tamil<\/strong> Eelam\u00a0in the\u00a0country’s North\/East.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know what Jag, I being a former card carrying Conservative, I wouldn’t hold my nose to keep away the disingenuous putrid smell\u00a0of the Conservative’s foreign policy on Sri Lanka and drop my ballot with a cross against the Conservative candidate into\u00a0 the ballot box.\u00a0 Never,, ever., never again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Conservative mentor was Art Hanger, the MP for Calgary East from the time he was elected to Parliament in 1993,\u00a0 until he decided not to stand for election again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what, Jag, Ananda got it right about the\u00a0 Sri Lankan-Canadian VOTE. Jag,my Canadian politics and my democratic VOTE revolves around how well, and\u00a0honestly will the incumbent Canadian Government treat my\nMotherland, Sri Lanka.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Conservatives haven’t been honest, nor have the Liberals nor did the NDP.\u00a0 All you\u00a0Canadian politicians have sold your soul to the separatist Eelamist-Tamil voters, falling\u00a0on your knees grovelling for the Tamil votes..,\u00a0 Right, Jag?\u00a0 \u00a0And so have the Tamil-separatists being smart have used all of you as a bunch of “SUCKERS” who look foolish trying your Canadian-jig to the Tamil beat of their tom-toms,to the rhythm of\u00a0‘Thunai-lakadi-<\/em><\/strong>thanthalakadi, thunai lakadi -thanthalakadi.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You said to Ananda seeking his Vote – “I have heard your concerns with how the Trudeau<\/em><\/strong> government has mismanaged Canada….but things have to change\u00a0for those dreams to\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>become reality.”.  Well…well….well, Jag,\ndo you really think that your Stephen Harper’s <\/em><\/strong>Government did not mismanage Canada’ s foreign policy\nwhen they were dealing with <\/em><\/strong>Sri Lanka’s internal affairs, when you all\ndidn’t have any business to do so.  What a crock<\/em><\/strong> of cods-wallop, Jag!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what you Conservative’s got my goat and made me give\nup on you lot as a card carrying Conservative?  It was when Prime Minister Stephen\nHarper had his hissy-fit when the Commonwealth’s Heads of States Summit was to be held in\nColombo, the capital of my dear Motherland, Sri Lanka, over her alleged human rights\nrecord.  Shish! what a Joke!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what did he do, Jag?\u00a0 He decided to boycott the Commonwealth Summit and wanted to act the Pied Piper\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>of the Commonwealth,<\/em><\/strong>, hoping that all other Commonwealth Heads of leading nations would\u00a0 follow him like a\u00a0group of stupid lemmings.\u00a0 He was into a surprise, when UK, Australia, New Zealand\u00a0 quite likely told\u00a0him – Stephen, you\u00a0are a Big Boy, it is your prerogative to go or not to go\u00a0 to Colombo for the\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Summit, but we are going.\u00a0 \u00a0We\u00a0have absolutely no interest in\u00a0getting involved\u00a0in your\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>domestic\u00a0 separatist\u00a0Tamil politics.\u00a0 If you want to stand\u00a0in a corner of your office put your thumb<\/em><\/strong> in your mouth, suck on it and whine, that is\u00a0your problem and not ours Big Boy, and Good Luck.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Conservative Primer Minister Stephen Harper had a\npresence of mind  crowning himself as the Commonwealth’s Mr. Morality,<\/strong> and he felt morally\nright to boycott the Colombo Summit as he wanted to support the claim of  the Tamil refugees who said\nthat they were persecuted and discriminated and their rights were violated by the Sri Lankan\nGovernments since Independence, in 1948.  And thatwas why they ran away from Sri Lanka, by passing their\nMotherland India’s Tamil Nadu, thumbing their noses at her and landed in Canada as refugees, which they\nthought where the grass was greener than in Jaffna,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and Canada’s roads were paved with gold, as Sri Lanka had\nfailed the core values of the Commonwealth upholding Human Rights.  And that sounds horrible,\nisn’t it, when this minority  Tamil community of 12% was the‘privileged’ <\/strong>minority for 131-years of British\ncolonial rule,compared to the 75% of the majority Sinhalese community were the ‘wronged’<\/strong> majority for that\n131 long years.  Shish!  That stinks isn’t it, Jag?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what Jag, Stephan Harper looked a fool to take that moral stance, if he only wondered\u00a0if his moral basis is what was required to be invited to the official Commonwealth’s Summit dinner with the Queen orher representative, there would have been no\u00a0 Head of the 54 Commonwealth countries sitting at the table with the Queen, as none would have been eligible to be invited, as no country could have claimed to be squeaky clean sans Human Rights violations\u00a0 \u00a0And when it comes to Prime Minister Stephen Harper who has told Sri Lanka, we Canadians are Holier than Thou<\/em>, wouldn’t have had a Snowball chance in Hell to prove Canada’s purity with all the human rights violations and Genocide of the women of the First Nations.that Canada \u00a0is well known for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is embarrassing, isn’t it Jag.\u00a0 \u00a0All because you Conservatives had sold your souls to the Tamils to garner their votes to win that Federal election last time, Well, you all ended losing\u00a0 to the Liberals, anyway. That is how the cookie crumbles,Jag. That was the rub!  Ouch! as a Conservative\ncandidate for the next Federal election,, these facts hurt you isn’t it, Jag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you Conservatives want to unseat the Liberals eh!\u00a0 \u00a0This is another dishonest political party who has aided and abetted\u00a0the\u00a0 Eelam War to destabilize Sri Lanka, my Motherland. who nurtured me during the first 19-years of my life,\u00a0 These\u00a0Liberals looked aside during the Chretien and Martin\u00a0 13-years of government, when the Tamil Diaspora collected two\u00a0million dollars a month\u00a0 to stuff the Tamil Tiger war chest\u00a0 to\u00a0 purchase sophisticated war weapons to fight their separatist\u00a0war, and along the way killed thousands of\u00a0 my innocent Sinhalese\u00a0 people…\u00a0 I resent both you\u00a0 Conservatives and Liberals for that.\u00a0 \u00a0And you guys who, preach\u00a0 good governance and\u00a0 plaudits of Human Rights to Sri Lankans,\u00a0 couldn’t\u00a0care a precious little when it comes to the majority\nSinhalese of that democratic island nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me tell you of one more of several incidents how you Conservatives got my goat.\u00a0 So Jag,\u00a0 your ConservativePrime Minister, Stephen Harper, sent his emissary,\u00a0 MP Deepak Obhrai, to represent Canada at the Commonwealth Summit in Colombo.\u00a0 This guy didn’t care two Prairie straws about Sri Lanka nor its peoples.\u00a0 He went with one and only intention to play into the hands of the Canadian-Tamils\u00a0 to do what he had to do to satisfy them to garner every Tamil vote from the Greater Toronto Area which had nine ridings depending on their votes to win those seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what did this smart\u00a0 Alec\u00a0 do,, Jag?.\u00a0 He flew in to Jaffna in the north.\u00a0 His entourage consisted of the Canadian High\u00a0Commissioner., a photographer and a few others assisting him on his act of\u00a0 a Canadian High School Bully.\u00a0<\/strong> One of his assistants carried a wreath. It had a ribbon with silk-screened words in Tamil\u00a0 script- in remembrance of the victims of violence\u00a0among the minorities, which excluded\u00a0the members of the majority Sinhalese who also died defending the sovereignty of the island\u00a0 nation.\u00a0 That was nasty Jag and\u00a0 you want Ananda’s, a Canadian-Sinhalese, vote.\u00a0 You got the gall.\u00a0 You got the\u00a0temerity!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\u00a0Politician-Bully entourage stopped at Elephant Pass on their way back to Colombo in a motorcade.. Even after the protest\u00a0by the Sri Lankan official asking Deepak not to lay the wreath, this obnoxious\u00a0 Harper’s emissary laid the wreath at Elephant Pass anyway. The photographer clicked his camera to give him proof to take back to Canada,to show\u00a0 how this Conservative Bully\u00a0 landing\u00a0in Sri Lanka and did what he is not supposed to do, support\nthe Tamil-Eelamist separatist cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 He was lucky that,yours truly, Asoka Weerasinghe was\nnot the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, as he  would have given the same treatment that Prime Minister Lester Pearson gave\nFrance’s President Charles de Gaulle, and he had to take the next plane back home.  He was not allowed to walk on Canadian\nholy- soil. after supporting the FLQ separatist cause at a public gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this arrogant fool, Deepak, comes home, meets up with the\nToronto Tamils to relate the outcome of his visit to Elephant Pass and what he had done on their behalf,  Here’s the\nproof, an now I want your vote.:  When questioned  he said that Elephant Pass was a neutral site.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter (December 13, 2013) I gave Deepak a lesson of Eel am War history, and\u00a0 that Elephant Pass was part of the War theater where three\u00a0 major vicious battles were fought between the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan armed forces and\u00a0 asked him to cut out being a Humbug..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My foot – a neutral site!.   What crap.  What\nbaloney.,.What a humbug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you are Jag.\u00a0 Ananda was right.\u00a0 No\u00a0 Sinhalese-Canadian who has an ounce of self respect and pride, will ever cast their vote for a Conservative any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish you luck Jag.\u00a0 And if you are successful being elected to Parliament, , remember to dot your “i’s” an cross your “T’s” \u00a0if you are going to take on an act of being a Smart Alec to support the Tamil separatist cause, you will certainly hear my voice \u00a0loud and clearly like London’s Big Ben’s noon hour ding-dong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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