Japanese Canadians should only be given the options to an internment camp or get deported back to Japan.

This is nothing personal towards Japanese Canadians, but to the Japanese Military. The problem is that we Canadians

don’t know whether Japanese Canadians are part of the Samurai. I have a sister and mother who are horrified at home,

hearing about the conquering of Hong Kong. The nurses raped and the doctors executed. Canadians alike can’t help

but look out for their families. I fear being attacked in Vancouver, knowing about Pearl Harbour only makes me worry

more. I can’t think of anything else other than protecting my family, and this is the only way I know how. I hope

Japanese Canadians understand where I am coming from. I’m sorry.
