Paging Dalton McSlippery...
Here's an experiment, folks... try dragging your children out onto a busy highway and see how long it takes Children's Aid to scoop them up.
Why exactly are Tamil protesters exempt from child protection laws?

Only cowards use kids as shields --
By JOE WARMINGTON
"It's an extremely dangerous situation to put children on the front line of a protest in that way"
-- Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair
It takes a special kind of gutlessness to use children and their mothers to do your dirty work for you.
Somebody out there knows exactly who it is, ordering women and children to be at the forefront of Tamil protests and putting children in so much danger.
"I think it puts them at tremendous risk," Chief Bill Blair said Sunday night of the children on the Gardiner Expressway. "We are trying to ensure that our response is proportional to the threat that currently exists ... we are trying to find ways to solve this as peacefully as we can, using a minimal amount of force."
The translation should have been "we are handcuffed because of all the kids up there and we can't be hurting kids."
Wonder what these scumbag protest organizers have up their sleeves next? Maybe they should leave their kids, many born here in Canada, right out of this conflict and do their own battling.
That they use them like this is a disgrace. Not exactly men of honour.
And because they use children in such a way - having them sitting in dozens of violent protests for hours in the elements - if they had any sympathy from Torontonians, it appears to be gone now.
Blair can't say it but you could tell he was disgusted. A lot of people were.
But the city seems to be helpless to apply the laws to the protests.
There must be some votes there because if you took your kids out onto the Gardiner Expressway, you can be sure there would be somebody in this town frowning.
The rules seem to be different for these Tamil Tiger backers.
They are in charge. And they will decide what the police's next difficult assignment will be because they call the shots in this town.
Several uniformed coppers have told me they are sick to death of taking abuse from some of these protesters and not being able to drag them back to the station for questioning because of politics.
And they tell me it drives them crazy to see children used as a barrier.
The part I don't get is where is the Children's Aid Society? Where are the charges?At every one of these protests not only are young children present, many times they are leading the chanting. I was wondering yesterday why these kids were not in school? And is there anybody in authority who cares?
The other thing I have been wondering is what kind of person would actually put their children at that kind of risk?
Komala Thani tells me she is one.
"It is risky for them but I can't stay at home," she said of why she had her three children on the Gardiner and at other protests. "There were 3,000 slaughtered."
She says in that conflict she has lost her father, two brothers, a cousin and a nephew to the Sri Lankan army and says whatever the protesters do or wherever they go, she and her children will be there. She says no one is ordering her to go. It's her decision. "There is no plan. People protest on emotion."
Just to keep children safe, warm and out of harm's way, you'd think the leaders would encourage just adults to protest peacefully. Komala seems like a nice woman and it's difficult to not feel for her and all that she has personally lost. And because of her, I urge the Sri Lankan government to allow independent journalists and humanitarian agencies into the war regions to properly assess what has transpired on both sides.
I do that in this local Toronto column, with no international pull, not because of any pressure from thugs taking over roads, or because children were used as leverage, but because it is a fair thing to ask.
If you have nothing to hide, open it up.
But that does not take the spotlight off the embarrassing practice of putting children at the front of a political battle thousands of miles away.
This whole mess has been urban terrorism and using kids has given a black eye to the local Tamil community and the City of Toronto.JOE.WARMINGTON@SUNMEDIA.CA --

A few months ago, in the US, a childrens aid (or its equivalent) swooped down and took all the kids from a compound. Time for that to happen in Ontario.
I thought these protestors were men of honor-lol- but anyone who would use their chattels-women/kids-to fight their battles are a bunch of cowards. And we canadians are supposed to support these cowards, no way.
These cowards have done a lot to turn canadians against them and all immigrants from terrorist countries.
I imagine that those civilians escaping the massacare from the tigers will try to get into Canada as refugees. I hope they are not allowed into our country.

perhaps someone should ask dalton mcslippery... are tamil children in ontario... not worth protecting?
'cos we're sure as shit gonna hear about it if some kid gets hit by a car or a police baton... or squashed in a hysterical tamil protest gone bad.

Why exactly are Tamil protesters exempt from child protection laws?I thought the exact same thing. So, it is either dependent on the sheer volume of people that defy the law at the same time, or it depends on race, I guess.
Two-tiered justice again.

good ol' cc aka "liberal supporter"... one minute he's kissin' up... the next minute he challenges you to a duel.
'cos "real men" just like to "piss" on people, right libby?
and, of course... he's a tamil tiger cheerleader... what a moron.

on a more serious note, call me wacky... but whatever happened to... "one people, one law"?
whaddya call that? oh, yeah... "democracy".
i miss that.

I think the left is being blinded here. The reason most people believe in the rule of law is that the law is (usually) designed because if one person doesn't follow it (or one group) then others don't. Then you get chaos. Yes, yes, some will call this the slippery slope, but sometimes a wet hill IS a slippery slope.
I'd just like to point out that the GTA is also home to a large number of people from Pakistan and Somalia.
As there are wars there that are killing hundreds of civilians
http://allafrica.com/stories/200905120745.html
where do we draw the line? Are Tamil deaths more important than those in the Swat Valley, or Africa?
I wonder how the city and province will schedule this? Tamils can block the Gardiner on Sundays and Thursdays, Somalis on Mondays, Pakistanis on Fridays, with a rotating schedule for the DVP and 401.
Although, I would have to warn anybody trying to block the 400 on a long weekend...the results probably won't be pretty.

the fiberals and their ilk are frantic that we not criticise the brutal chinese government over human rights... but they want to suck up to the people who assassinated rajiv gandhi?
hey, iggy... how exactly does that work?

"liberal supporter says... waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... i know all about stuff and you're a big meanie" --
thus continues liberal supporter's daily bombing of the comment threads... elucidating, in great detail, how unimportant i am in his life.

I am an Irish immigrant and i'am thinking of taking over the Steam Whistle Brewery .
They don't produce Guiness .
And Canada better step up to meet my demands(the production of Guiness) or i will shut down all rail traffic on the lines
Steam Whistle is located in the roundhouse beside major rail lines in the T.dot. ( in case you didn't know ).
If you have kids, the more the merrier .
His blondness has endorsed my message and Blair is going along with the flow.
Woo Hoo!
My post is about as intelligent as the crap the MSM and other culprits are feeding us .
Glad i'am not alone!
Tamils don't really care about their children, they invented the practice of strapping bombs to kids and detonating them, they'll just have more if they lose a few.
