The report release the other day about the Air India crash being a "Canadian tragedy" struck me as wrong. It was not a "Canadian tragedy", it was a Sikh tragedy begun in Canada on a foreign airliner. The perpetrators were Sikhs, carrying out their hatred on other Indians via Air India. But as Canadians, we shoulder the blame and have paid millions and millions for inquiries and trials and reports and we are blamed for the importation of their hatred and violence into Canada. Those responsible walk free, while innocent Canadians have wrung their hands in shame and guilt. Remember, all this was pre-9/11 and security was normal for the times. The sikh who checked the bomb walked out of the airport and didn't even martyr himself. Back he went to Surrey and a nice dinner. Makes me so angry.
Many immigrants import their hatreds into Canada. Not what Canada is about. Last year we endured protests, traffic jams and blocked streets from the...I can't even remember the name of the disaffected -- oh yes, the tamil tigers, an East Indian faction on the banned list here, but still your tax dollars went to the police who had to man the barricades. That's what I love about Canada -- we let anyone protest anything. Thus, the whole thing modulates itself, rather than escalating into violence and killing. I would love to check the clothing labels on all the thugs who will be masked and throwing things at the upcoming G-8. They protest capitalism, but they sport the latest in guerilla outfits, made by slave labour in oppressed countries. Wanna bet?
