A painting of me

Canadian Tamils feel marginalized and muzzled. ⇒

This editorial in the Star would have been better had the author dropped the discussion on the HRW report. Pretty much every Tamil person my family knows was hit up for cash. Regardless of what the intentions of those trying to solicit cash were, a bunch of Tamil dudes showing up at your house and harassing you for money is going to intimidate some people. Regardless, it does point out that supporting the government over the LTTE is poor form, as the government is also a big fan of blowing shit up.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
