This article about the Tamil protests in Toronto by Globe columnist Christie Blatchford is so stunningly, horrifyingly.... ugh... can't articulate... through... incoherent rage....
A random quote:
This is what Torontonians are wrestling with, not rage about traffic snarls, not racism, not a failure to understand the complexities of the civil war in Sri Lanka or its attendant loss of life. We live in a country where we don't even know how many of our fellows are Tamils from Sri Lanka, but are simultaneously asked to accept on faith that they are properly and legally here and to extend to them every privilege conferred by Canadian citizenship - and to suck it up without complaint.
Aren't newspapers supposed to be on death's door? Is there some way that we could speed up that process?
