-SinhayaThat's the question many of us, including the students of the University have been wondering for the past week or so. May be all of us have been looking at this the wrong way, complaining and questioning how some student demonstrators were allowed to burn a national flag of a democratic country in a reputed National Educational Institute. Not just by any protestors, but by a group of Tamil students who dared to carry their own flag of a Terrorist group banned by the Canadian Government and it's law. We have seen the pictures, the videos and we asked these questions, albeit without any answers from the University to date. But we have realized that as bad as the burning of the Sri Lankan National flag inside a Canadian University was, the worst is what is hanging inside the corridors of that same University.
Yes Canada, you can be very proud of this Educational Institute, as it has allowed the flag of the banned LTTE Terrorist group, to be hung on their roof, along with the flags of the rest of the democratic, peace loving countries of the world. Tamil Tigers are one of the most dangerous and ruthless organization in the world, not just according to the FBI and the world, but also according to our very own CSIS and RCMP, and yet York University seems to think otherwise.
May be it's because the Toronto Police did nothing to stop this same flag being waved last Fall outside the grounds, where an International Cricket match was played. May be the Police didn't think much of it, because the City allowed it to be carried around in numerous bogus demonstrations last week, that inconvenienced the lives of many Torontonians. May be, just may be the City didn't see anything wrong with it, because the Liberal Party has the flag wrapped around their vote hungry buttocks.

Well Canada, if this trend continues it won't be long before you see this same Terrorist flag, hanging from the rafters of the Parliament Hill. Isn't it time you woke up and spoke?
Shows the ignorance of the school authorities. What is the other green flag with a sword? Must be one of a muslim fundamentalist group.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure which nation that flag belongs to either. The sad thing is I hear that this flag has been hanging for about 2 years (although we got to hear after the Flag burning incident), and other SL kids have tried everything to get it down, with no result. Wish we knew about it long before. Anyway that's why I posted it here hoping to let more people and other Canadians know how ignorant some of the their Institutions are.
ReplyDeleteAmen, to that!
ReplyDeleteFYI....The Green Flag is the Flag of Saudi Arabia...http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Flag_of_Saudi_Arabia
ReplyDeleteThis is the not the only time LTTE flag has been raised in a school. Few years back, In Seneca Newnham Campus LTTE Flag was raised during a multicultural day as a nation's flag...
I guess not many of us were aware of it. Goes to show how silent and complacent we have been as these issues that could have resolved easily years ago, now cannot be undone with the loudest protest. I feel even more stupid, when I saw the sea of LTTE flags in today's downtown protest, right in front of the Police, who didn't seem to care or do anything. When one of the SLYC kids pointed out to the cops sometime back that this flag was the same as the LTTE group that was banned by Canada, their response had been that it's the Tamil's Territory Flag..! So go figure!!!
