This week saw the end of a large-scale demonstration by
Canadian Tamils on Parliament Hill. The protest's final days
featured an interesting development: After weeks of fruitless
efforts to gain the attention of MPs, many of the protesters — who
were trying to raise awareness of a Sri Lankan military campaign
that, they claim, is recklessly slaughtering civilians — were no
longer flying the flag of the Tamil Tigers, a terrorist group
outlawed in this country three years ago. Instead, they flew a plain
black flag, which they describe as a symbol of mourning.
