Terrorists already here

Toronto-- Toronto TTC chairman Councillor Howard Moscoe is not worried about the kind of terrorist attack that struck London's subway and bus system yesterday. That's because first, they'd have to find us, according to the stalwart socialist.

Moscoe advised TTC riders yesterday not to panic.

"I would wonder if the terrorists first would have to find where Toronto is before they attacked it," he said. "Canada is not as vulnerable as the U.S. or Britain or Spain.

"We don't have any troops to pull out of Iraq." (Toronto Sun, July 8, 2005).

"On all the available information, there is no heightened risk in Toronto," said Toronto's socialist Mayor David Miller.

In his comments on the worst attack on Britain since World War II, Moscoe's and Miller's mentor, New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jack Layton lamented the interruption yesterday's terrorist attacks had on the progress of global warming talks at the G8.

Municipal politicians in Toronto, like their counterparts in the Canadian federal government, are soft on terrorists.

With more than 1 million TTC riders a day in Toronto, many of them newcomers from other countries, the TTC publishes a map that is easy enough to find for anyone looking.

as canadafreepress.com associate editor arthur Weinreb so aptly puts it, "The terrorists wouldn't have to find us because they're already here."

as CFP revealed in October of 2001, the Taliban had its own Hotline in Toronto, before authorities took it down.

Canada is now home to approximately 200,000 Sri Lankans, and has the dubious distinction of being host to the biggest Tamil Diaspora in the world.

Petitions to the government claim that Canada, albeit unwittingly, has opened its doors to some 8,000 paramilitary-trained Tamil terrorists contrary to its own immigration laws. Most of them are living in Toronto.

Canadian relief efforts have shown that the Liberals have yet to curb fund-raising by LTTE front groups, who continue to operate on Canadian soil.

In the aftermath of December's tsunami tragedy, Liberal MP Maria Minna, who attended a May 2000, $600–plate fundraising dinner organized by a front organization for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam with then Minister of Finance Paul Martin, was openly critical of the speedy relief effort of the United States.

"I have serious concerns about this coalition that the United States is putting together," said Minna. "My reaction to this is very negative. It sounds like this is (Bush's) counterpart of the coalition of the willing in Iraq. I resent it. We are coming across like we are joining a coalition of the willing of the U.S."

These remarks, of course were made when the victims of South asia were desperate for help, not political rhetoric.

The same Canadian politicians were mouthing the usual platitudes in the aftermath of the brutal attack on the people of London yesterday.

London doesn't need the worthless platitudes of Canadian politicians with the words of strength now pouring into print and Internet editors the world over.

as Robert a. Gismondi of Los angeles inspired us with his letter of this morning in words of encouragement to Britain: "Remember the words of your half-american Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, `Never, never, never give up.' God save the Queen and all of Britain."

Meanwhile, the terrorists don't have to look too hard to find Toronto, Mssrs. Moscoe, Miller, Layton and Martin and Madame Minna. They're already here.
