i agree..if we as a people were as passionate about issues as the Tamils..perhaps, politicians would take voters seriously instead of taking us for granted,,Lord knows that our apathy has resulted in us being governed by a bunch of horrid people who use the politics of division to keep themselves in power...we definetly get what we deserve....oh and to the original poster..you are a sorry assed racist...and Stash..you are a foul mouthed piece of trash...Hangman said:
Can we "real" Canadians protest too?

If being pissed off because people are breaking the law and inconveniencing huge numbers of others rather than peacefully protesting in front of the Sri Lankan Consulate-General is being bigoted, I dare say that a very large number of us are.nottyboi said:
What to the Tamils hope to presure the Government of Canada into doing?
After all we are constantly told on TERB that Canada doesn't need to increase the size of the Armed Forces. Also, that there is no reason for war.

Of course you can. That's one of the principle of the democratic state we live in.
I'm always amused that people get their panties in a bunch because a protest disturb their life/the economy/slow down traffic/etc. No kidding. A protest that is causing disruption? That's the point of a public protest. One of those little annoyance of living in an otherwise pretty cozy and privileged country.

We real Candians protest all the time . Specifically when their is a threat to our sense of entitlement as it pertains to
1 . more money for less work .
2. increased benefits .
3. more holidays .
4. shorter work week .
5. earlier retirement age .
We will passionately cause disruption to achieve these ends . Just don't be fucking bothering us if people are being mistreated in a foreign country .
We see enough distasteful things on the 6 o'clock news without youse people getting in our face about your problems back home . This is Canada . Go on strike , as its your right but knock it off with the bleeding heart shit . Have a little compassion for us that live in Toronto . We just went through another winter of the Leafs. Haven't we suffered enough ?

its not being pissed off at the way they are protesting, its the "real" canadian commentsAardvark154 said:If being pissed off because people are breaking the law and inconveniencing huge numbers of others rather than peacefully protesting in front of the Sri Lankan Consulate-General is being bigoted, I dare say that a very large number of us are.
My only complaint is that they aren't protesting things WE ALL want like legalized/decriminalized prostitution and being able to LEGALLY go into any store and buy good quality weed!!! Now that is a protest everyone should be able to support!
Seriously they are inconveniencing a lot of people with these DAILY protests, and blocking the Gardiner for 6 hours is not exactly a cool move. Just sheer numbers and the toddlers in strollers that prevented LE from taking a more "get the fuck out of the road!" approach with tear gas and pepper spray and what have you.
They have the right to protest, but the ways they are going about it is not generating any sympathy at all. And if we don't agree with their protests, we should be allowed to protest their protest.
Maybe the people who are most pissed off about all these Tamil protests should get together some 2,000+ like-minded people to gather outside Queens Park the next time the Tamils are doing their shit and protest against them.

See, that's the beauty of a democratic state: you actually can go out and protest against the protesters, and you can expect not to be killed for it.DickHardwood said:
So, go out, gather people, organize a protest, and voice your disagreement against your comfort being disturbed by people protesting against the mass killing of their love ones. You may not be taken as seriously, but you have a right to protest.
Smylee makes two important points that I fully agree with.smylee52 said:
1) Yes, we do protest and I have no problem with that when it is legal, peaceful and involves a CANADIAN issue like free sex.
2) Don't protest on Canadian soil about something that does not involve Canada. Everytime we get involve in some foreign crap we get pissed on by both sides of the conflict. DO NOT LOOK TO ME TO SOLVE YOUR INTERNAL DISPUTE!
