I’ve been very conflicted about the idea of Japanese Canadians being sent to internment camps for weeks, but I’ve final decided that I think Japanese Canadians should be sent to internment camps to ensure the safety and security of Canada. My family and friends have feared an invasion from Japan and the attack on pearl harbor has made us sure that Japan will invade us in Vancouver next. If Japan was willing to attack the U.S. who were neutral that means they might be willing to invade us at any moment with a ruthless attack and end with thousands of innocent people left dead. When this invasion happens it’s unknown which Japanese Canadians are truly loyal to Canada, the un-loyal Japanese Canadians could attack us from the inside and quickly take control of our city. If the invasion is successful Japanese soldiers may do the same thing they did in their invasion of China which was raping, murdering, and torturing innocent people which is my biggest fear that I have of Japan invading us. If Japanese Canadians aren’t put in internment camps it could cause the fall of Vancouver and possibly Canada. Another fear I have from Japanese Canadians is them ruining our economy and them causing many people to lose jobs. Japanese people have been immigrating to Canada for a long time and consistently steal people’s jobs because they work cheaper and for more hours. If Japanese people continue to immigrate here it could cause minimum wage to drop, safety protocols to be removed and reverse all the progress we have made for workers’ rights. The future could have ever profession being Japanese dominated if Japanese Canadians aren’t put in internment camps to slow the takeover of the job market from them.
