Yeah that's the thing people should be complaining about... this is the reality, where there isn't much of anything Canada can reasonably do about the Tamil situation in Sri Lanka. Not on the scale they are looking for at the least... what do they want, military intervention?

Premier, mayor warn Tamils
Despite warnings from the premier and mayor, organizers of last night's massive protest on the Gardiner Expressway say they are not ruling out the possibility of another drastic traffic-stopping...

more power to them i say! they have the right to peaceful demonstration. If we were in europe we'd have to deal with this on the regular and on a much larger scale.
It was a peaceful demonstration when they were in front of the US consulate building, but not taking over a highway for fuck sakes.
Go back to your country and complain there.

I'm sorry, but once your protest affects the lives of innocent people its no longer a peaceful protest. Yes, there is no blood shed but that doesn't make it a peaceful protest.
Innocent people had to STOP DRIVING!!!!

Dont worry hippy hipster, Canada is on its way to becoming one of those nations you seem to envy.

One of those rare times when I could not agree more.
I'm tired of the "passive pussies" we have for a police force and government.
If it were white people on the QEW the police would not have had any trouble tazering us... especially if we had thrown a bicycle at them.
This political correctness crap has to STOP. Doesn't matter what race you are... you are obligated to follow our laws in this country even if you are a terrorist.
Shame on our government for negotiating with these terrorist goons! NDP, PC and Liberals have lost my support for next election. I will not stand by and watch these ridiculous politicians sell our country out to a terrorist group or cause.
Will be voting green party next election and hope they will have the backbone to deal with these radical minority groups that assume they can dictate to CANADA what we should do for them... as if we haven't done enough.

You seem to be only taking into consideration the driving.
Do you not think those people stuck on the highway had places to go and things to do?
Maybe someone missed a flight, or missed work, appointments etc.
No matter how you look at it, this protest cost the city & those stuck for hours on the gardiner money.
