Hard To Be Proud Of Canada...

We apologized to the indians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the gays, women and in a couple of decades, when the Tamil children of today are old enough to vote, we will be apologizing to the Tamils. 

Will Canada play host to a Tamil government-in-exile? Tigers 2.0

Smuggled Tamils worth up to $10M for 'snakeheads'

Each of the 490 Sri Lankans dumped on the B.C. coast by MV Sun Sea is worth up to $20,000 — totalling almost $10 million — for smugglers or “snakeheads”, a Liberal MP says.

Tamil migrants could owe smugglers up to $20K

Many of the 490 Sri Lankan migrants who arrived off the coast of B.C. by boat will have to fork out up to $20,000 each for the smuggling trip to "snakeheads" or their families will have to pay, Tamil community members say.

...the opinions of Canadians irrelevant:

Should Canada intercept migrant boats and turn them away before they reach Canadian shores?
