LTTE and Canadian complicity

Post 9/11 in 2001, a few nations including the UK, Australia and Malaysia, proscribed the LTTE as a terrorist organisation which led to the freezing of accounts, seizing of assets and banning of front-organisations.

None of this occurred in Canada; where, like the EU, it was not until 2006 that the LTTE were proscribed, allowing it valuable time and space to organise and fundraise in the service of Prabahakaran's continued wonton attacks on innocent civilians in Colombo and beyond.

Long before the attacks on the Twin Towers of 9/11/2001, a loosely connected group that would later become known as AI Qaeda, detonated a truck-bomb beneath the North Tower of the very same building in New York City, USA; that was in 1993. The event would catalyse a period of legal reform in the US to counteract transnational and international terrorism, leading to the 1997 designation of the LTTE in the US as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, along with the PKK and FARC; designated as such for global fundraising networks, deliberate targeting of civilians and international arms procurement activities.

Global Terrorism is now a subject of study on its own, popularised by the AI Qaeda brand, launched at the world in 2001; both a peak and a nadir for this particular type of international terrorism. In the post-9/11 period, it soon became apparent to western nations that such organisations were dependent on well-organised and coordinated efforts requiring global patronage, assets and financial accounts, patrons and middlemen, front-organisations.

Brampton is a Canadian city in the Province of Ontario, part of what's called the Greater Toronto Area; the city has a total population of around 745,000. Its large Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora community made headlines with the unveiling of a Tamil Genocide Memorial on the 10th of May, 2025.

No major multilateral international organisation makes the claim of genocide against Sri Lanka. While the United Nations has documented evidence of human rights violations and war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, there was no implication of genocide or ethnic cleansing.
