No Choice
Tamils have been protesting peacefully and for months now and Canadian government have been largely ignoring these protests. Sri Lankan government keeps on killing many more Tamils while the world is sleeping. Many Tamils canadians have close relatives friends who are caught in the cross fire and have lost many loved ones. They don't know what to do. They want Canadian government to take meaningful action rather than providing "Aid" to kill more Tamils. They can perhaps put economic sanctions on Sri Lanka. In this part of the world, we are talking about animal rights etc, while average Tamil living in Northern Sri Lanka is being treated worser than an animal. My Non-Tamil Canadians questioned Tamils action but after some explanations and little research, they understood the problem. Sri Lankan government must stop this genocide now. If Canada starts taking meaningful actions, then these demonstrations will not happen. As for Children and women getting involved, there are hundreds of women and children dying every day in Sri Lanka, perhaps you should pay more attention to that.
