Are All Tamils Tigers?

Does Gurbax Singh Malhi take Michael Ignatieff for a fool?

When an MP who spent the almost the first thirty years of his life in India earning a degree in Politics and History suddenly claims to have no understanding of the significance of the flag of the Tamil Tigers, something just doesn't add up.
But that is what Liberal MP Gurbax Singh Malhi is claiming, having been caught on video supporting the "fight" at a Tamil demonstration, one that featured a heavy presence of Tamil Tiger sympathizers. The Tamil Tigers have been classified as a terrorist organization in Canada.
I have no doubt that Michael Ignatieff has asked for an explanation. If Gurbax Singh Malhi is spinning the same story behind closed doors as he is stating publicly, then he is treating his party's leader with as much disrespect as he has treated us.
It'll be interesting to see if Michael Ignatieff will tolerate it. Of course, Michael Ignatieff's track record is poor when it comes to demanding that MPs behave.
