You remember Borys Wrzesnewskyj, right? Lo and behold, he's at it again, this time speaking at a funeral for a member of the Tamil Tigers:
Historically, conflict has often yielded armed battle; yet resolution favours dialogue, Borys Wrzesnewskyj, the Liberal MP representing Etobicoke-Centre, said after addressing the mourners. He pointed to Britain's negotiations with Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), once considered a terrorist group; the talks brought stability to Northern Ireland.
...
The Tamil Tigers are a traditional guerrilla movement like Colombia's FARC, but they use the tactics of terrorism, notably suicide bombings and political assassinations; as a result they have been designated internationally as a terrorist organization.
Borys now seems to be soft on not one but two of the groups on Canada's list of banned terrorist organizations.
This man may have been a wonderful person, but he was one of the heads of the Tamil Tigers. What kind of message is this sending?
It is worth noting that several other Liberal MPs -- Maria Minna, John McKay and Jim Karygiannis -- were present at the funeral.
