Japanese Canadians in internment camps; a horrible and illegal
idea.
I believe that placing Japanese Canadians into internment camps is
wrong, unfair and illegal. These people have been good Canadian
citizens who haven’t done anything wrong to deserve this
treatment.
They pay taxes and run businesses and are a part of our
community. It should be assumed that these people are innocent
until we have proof that they are guilty of helping the Japanese
government do harm against Canada.

White people’s racism and fear of people who are Japanese is not a
good enough reason to send them away to internment camps. They live
in these camps and still there haven’t been any charges or trials done.
This sort of treatment doesn’t happen to white Canadians and it
shouldn’t happen to the Japanese Canadians either.

Free the Japanese Canadians!!
