Japanese Canadians

1. The narrator of the story, was telling of their experiences as a Japanese in ww2. What they were doing to the Japanese was cruel and unfair. they took them from their homes, and only aloud them to have 150 pounds of items. the rest was to be unsure as to if you'd see it ever again.
4.During ww2, canadians treated Japanese poorly. They seized all their possessions and stuck them in internment camps in the interior. these places were cold and dirty, and the shelters were not a good environment to live in.
5. canadians did not get interned if they were decendants from other places like Germany. this happened i believe because during the war, the main racial focus was apon the Japanese. Therefor the Japanese decendants were the ones to be interned.
6. I believe that today, we do still face the problems that the Japanese had to face. Although they tried compensating them with a sum of money, Society today still believes that that should not be good enough for what the government had put them through. We now realize that they are just people and should be treated fairly. And our government today is still appologizing for the actions that happened towards the Japanese in ww2.
