“Terrorists” on Canadian soil?

By M.B. (Toronto, Ontario)

It should be firmly acknowledged that Islamic Terrorists are not the only form of terrorism active on Canadian soil ^[1]. In fact, there is a terrorist faction active on Canadian soil, that is significantly larger than the Islamic terrorist faction, called the “Tamil terrorist faction”.There are around 300,000 or more (counting illegal Tamil immigrants) currently living on Canadian soil. Toronto is home to the largest Tamil speaking population outside Asia^[1.2]. Tamil is also the 3rd most spoken South Asian language in Canada^[1.2].

The Tamil diaspora has managed to cover all corners of Canadian polity, from propaganda platforms, blood donations, walkathons, helping sick kids, the aged etc. This is a form of camouflage for other insidious local and international networks related to terrorism. Tamil Tigers or Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is one of the most ruthless terrorist organizations in the world. LTTE conducted violent terror attacks to establish an independent homeland in Sri Lanka called Tamil Eelam.  In the year 2000, a Toronto police Tamil task force report, mentioned that there are 8000 members of Tamil terrorist factions in Toronto.  Canadian police sources identified that the LTTE raises $10 million per year in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. A police operation in October 2001 that involved 400 police officers, discovered over 50 alleged members of Tamil gangs with criminal records in Canadian soil. A CSIS paper published in 1999 stated that that Tamil Tigers run effective propaganda campaigns to mobilize significant sectors of Tamil diaspora overseas in their favor. Therefore, Canadian politicians are unable to take tough action against the Tamil Tigers in fear of losing their local electoral support base. 

Tamil terrorist memorabilia is openly displayed in restaurants and stores located in areas where there is a Tamil majority residing. Tamil terrorists have managed to strategically place themselves in mainstream Canadian political parties such as Liberal, New Democratic and Progressive Conservative.  Now they have started making major legislative changes, such as introducing Bill 104-Tamil Genocide Education Awareness Act
with false misinformation to gain sympathy of the Canadian public towards Tamil terrorists. So far it has been a piece of cake for Tamil terrorists . They admire Canada’s system of providing the ability of self-determination (eg-1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty). Sooner or later, Tamil terrorists will start demanding a separate state of Tamil Eelam in Canada. The future Canadian flag would look something like one of these iterations.
