Canadian Prime Minister praises Tamil Canadians on New Year

Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, praised Tamil Canadians in a message to mark the Tamil New Year on Saturday.

“Today, Tamils in Canada and around the world will celebrate Puthandu and welcome the beginning of a new year,” said Mr Trudeau.

“Puthandu is a chance to reflect on the successes of the past year, embark upon new beginnings, and look forward to the year to come. As Tamils celebrate the New Year, let us all take the time to recognize the important contributions that Tamil Canadians make to our country every day.

“Iniya Tamil Puthandu Nalvazhthukkal,” the message concluded.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
