#1 Itâs feared the ship may be the first wave of defeated Tamil Tiger fighters fleeing for safe haven after the end of Sri Lankaâs 25-year civil war...

Guess the ship couldn't handle Cape Horn to make for Buenos Aires or Montevideo.

#2 Why shouldn't they want to come to Canada where the Liberal Party members (who refer to themselves as "The Natural Governing Party of Canada") have attended Tamil Tiger fund raising meetings and bestowed praise upon them?

Funny how the support numbers for the Libs keep dropping.

#3 I have been following this story in the BC radio press, and so far none of the 'refugees' have been granted asylum. One report did state that at least one of them was a known terrorist, so it appears that our northern neighbors are not in any big hurry to let these folks in.....
