This one seems kid-friendly enough. Might even provide some welcome relief to protestors come July-August:

agenteagle said:I agree with what everyone else thinks on this one. Tamil Tigers keeping civilians from fleeing and using human shields just like the Talibs in Swat. I think if someone flies a Tamil Tigers flag in Canada they should be arrested and sent to an island for being part of a terrorist organization. We don't have a Gitmo prison in Cuba maybe we can sent them to Newfoundland.
Watch out for hunting season where bright cloths.

We have a freedom of conscience and expression here for a reason. I don't approve of the way they've been protesting, but waving a flag should NEVER be grounds for the state to infringe on an individual's rights. Suppression of freedom of expression is far too slippery a slope for us to risk it. I've read the charter back to front many times, and nowhere does it say you or I have the right to not be offended. If someone wants to walk around with a LTTE flag, a Swastika armband or a Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey, they may be tasteless and stupid, but they have the right to be so long as no harm is done to another. End of story.
I won't even start on arbitrary detention or extra judicial prisons.
Those who provide material support to terrorist organizations deserve the utmost punishment of the law. But waving a flag and pissing people off is not terrorism- that term has been far too often twisted and abused to justify the revocation of rights and liberties that our society should be defending far more vehemently than it is.
