Live and don't learn

So... the protesters don't support the Tamil Tigers? Check out the sign in the picture below... it doesn't get any clearer than that...

Tone deaf Tamil Tiger supporters rev up the threats & blackmail... one more time...

“We can only control the people for a couple of times. If their emotions get enraged even more, it’s not in our hands,” said Priyanth Nallaratnam.

Of course... like Iggy and company, ol' Priyanth is gonna try lay this one at the feet of, wait for it... Stephen Harper.

“If the Prime Minister keeps on ignoring this, his ignorance of the community’s plight is just going to fuel the people even more. The people are going to get even more enraged.”

Sure thing, pal... just not enraged enough to stay in Sri Lanka and actually fight for the cause.

Funny how that works.

UPDATE: Tens of thousands of protesters...

...they all just called in sick today?

Toronto is bracing for another Tamil mass protest today, with tens of thousands of people expected to descend on Queen's Park to form a human chain at noon, possibly targeting the downtown subway as well.

Tamil Facebook groups and radio stations have called for Toronto's Tamils to go to Queen's Park today to continue the public protests that exploded onto the Gardiner Expressway on Sunday night.

There was also talk of protesters targeting University Avenue and Yonge Street, from Union Station up to Bloor Street.

UPDATE2: Hospital row gets pinched off... again

Toronto police closed the southbound lanes of University Avenue between Queen and Dundas streets, around 3 p.m., saying they "will remain closed until further notice."

LAST WORD: Looks like Dalton's on board

-- TORONTO -- The protests have angered some commuters caught in the traffic but McGuinty said "THE INCONVENIENCE" has to be weighed against a moral obligation to oppose injustice.

"I think we also have a higher responsibility to find a way to speak out as responsible global citizens in the face of a significant breach of human rights."

Of course, Dalton just has a short limo ride from Queens Park to his Liberal Party-subsidised mansion in Rosedale.

No "INCONVENIENT" Tamil clogged expressways for the Apologiser-in-Chief.
