The protest no one wants to champion

Canadian-Tamils have been occupying the sidewalk outside of the Prime Minister’s Office for ten days. Politicians won’t be photographed with them. This is the largest and longest protest on Parliament Hill to have no champions inside the building.

Annually, Liberal and Conservative MPs line up to address anti-abortion protesters, Falun-Gong has parliamentary supporters and even marijuana activists have had MPs speak to their crowds.

Canadians are standing in their capital’s streets day and night, hunger strikers proclaiming a genocide in their country and still no one is listening or speaking. So, why is there no political support for Canadian-Tamils?
