With respect to the recent "protests" by Tamils in Toronto, I quote from today's Globe and Mail:
"Many Torontonians have long been puzzled by how, without any public discussion they remember, let alone any consensus, their city has become home to so many folks from around the world who periodically hold the rest of the place hostage while they make their voices heard about the very issues or crises that drove them here in the first place."
...and I add...
...and for which the rest of us could care less and know we can do nothing about. There is no Problems of the World Department at Toronto City Hall, at last check.
I am also puzzled by the fact that nearly every day I read what great progress India has made and how it is now a superpower. So why doesn't India, a nation a few kilometers from Sri Lanka with a near identical culture and language, have some responsibility for Sri Lanka.
Oh...yes....White Man's Burden.
