Placing Japanese Canadians into internment camps is the wrong thing to do, as it violates the law, and the RCMP have found them to be no threat to Canada. As Canadians, we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. There is no evidence that the Japanese Canadians have committed any crimes or done anything wrong, so they shouldn’t be allowed to be punished. In addition to that, the RCMP did a thorough investigation into the matter, and found them to be loyal to Canada. They have been proven to be no threat, so we shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions and assuming that Japanese Canadians are in support of Japan. Japanese Canadians should not be placed into internment camps, as the RCMP have found that they support Canada, and it would be against the law, as they are innocent until proven to be guilty. We shouldn’t punish Japanese Canadians for something that they have no part in.
