Armed with a 50 foot banner, placards and posters created by Sandeshaya-Canada, 50-60 group of brave Sri Lanka Youth of Canada along with Sri Lanka United National association (SLUNA) yesterday achieved something many Torontonians have been wishfully thinking, should be done. THEY PROTESTED THE PROTESTORS! Not only did they stand over the DVP catching the attention of all the evening rush hour traffic, but they also got the attention of the "fake" demonstrators at Queen's Park, who were bewildered to find a small Air Plane circling above their heads with a banner clearly giving a message to the Toronto citizens. PROTECT CANADA, STOP THE TAMIL TIGERS.

The plane only did a few circle before the Police had the pilot called off, mostly worried the angry Tamil mob would get out of hand, but by then it had done what it was supposed to do. The plane and the whole demonstration got enough public attention, as media couldn't afford to ignore it. While the LTTE controlled Tamil diaspora puppets conducted a drama on the lawns of Queens Park, our brave Sri Lankans were able to grab a perfect opportune moment to get a clear and strong message to the Canadians. Bravo, you young Lions! Hats off to a well planned actions taken, and winning the hearts of the Canadians as witnessed by some of the "chatter" on the cyber space below.

These peaceful demonstrators should be commended for what they did. An example to the whole world and especially to the 'unruly and unsanitary" (as labeled in the British Parliament) demonstrators in Canada who blocked highways and inconvenienced many Canadian commuters.

I hope the news media around the world will carry an article about this particular  demonstration which was carried out peacefully and with no terrorist flags.

Hats off to the organizers and participants!

NATIONAL POST
"...At one point, a plane circled the area with a banner that read: "Protect Canada. Stop Tamil Tigers." Many protesters turned their eyes up and paused their chanting, only to quickly resume with louder voices. Police also shooed away a man sitting across from Queen's Park with a sign that read: "Tamil Tigers, stop terrorizing Toronto."

TORONTO STAR
"...Members of Toronto's Sri Lankan community used a banner pulled behind a plane in the sky and a banner and placards over the Don Valley Parkway today to express their fear the Tamil community will bring Tamil Tiger violence to Canada.

CTV".
..That appears to have caused a backlash as a small group hung a banner reading "Protect Canada - Stop the Tamil Tigers" over a pedestrian bridge along the Don Valley Parkway.Those same words infuriated the crowd at the Queen's Park protest, when they were pulled behind a plane that encircled over the demonstration."

A few of them would have regretted that they don't carry the  SAMs their 'freedom fighters' abandoned to SLA while escaping with their tails to the 1.5 km 'eelam'

“Members of Toronto’s Sri Lankan community used a banner pulled behind a plane in the sky and a banner and placards over the Don Valley Parkway today to express their fear the Tamil community will bring Tamil Tiger violence to Canada.

“We want Torontoto be safe. The Tamil Tigers are controlling the Sri Lankan community in Canada and their agenda is the only one being heard. We feel we are being controlled,” said Kumar Gunasekera, one of about 50 people who waved placards and hung a banner over the Don Valley footbridge to Riverdale during this evening’s rush hour.

The airplane pulling another banner circled over the huge Queen’s Park demonstration, enraging the protesters crowded there.

The banners read: “Protect Canada - Stop the Tamil Tigers.”

The demonstrators at the Don Valleybridge said they represent more than 50,000, until now, silent Sinhalese Canadians.

We were only 10 people protesting against LTTE. The Sri Lankan Embassy promised us more money, but gave us only few dollars. No more protest until they give us more money

10 REAL people made a bigger impact than 12,000 unruly, unsanitary, dole living Terrorist protesters.

So, you must be proud Brian.  You don't need any more protests. You all proved a point. Congratulations!

By the way, I'm disappointed that some real Tamil terrorists infiltrated into the group that is holding the banner over the freeway. Because, I count more than ten there. Please tell your organizers not to take coolies along when they go out somewhere, as you can save that money to be spent on the next project.

Be Safe, my friend.
