"Go back to Colombo",

Mayor of Brampton chants racist slurs on anti Genocide supporters

- 

Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown has defended the creation of a Tamil genocide memorial, telling those who deny that ethnic cleansing took place in Sri Lanka will be ignored.

"Genocide deniers, you are not welcome in Brampton, you are not welcome in Canada. Go back to Colombo (the capital of Sri Lanka)," Brampton told the crowd at the memorial unveiling this past weekend. The creation of the memorial has been at the centre of controversy since the project was conceived, as divisive ethnic conflicts in the South Asian nation have overflowed into communities around the world, including Brampton.
