1 Japanese Internment S. Todd CHC 2DI

2 Treatment of Japanese Canadians Prejudice -an anfavourable attitude formed without fairly examining the facts Discrimination -an unfair difference in the treatment of people

3 Why was there so much discrimination against Japanese Canadians? 1.Skin Colour 2.Customs Eg. Cremation, picture brides 3.War situation Eg. Invasion of Manchuria, attack on Pearl Harbour, fear of spies on the West Coast 4.Jealousy -many Japanese were excluded from higher-paying jobs before the war, so they went on to become successful business people in farming and fishing

4 The Plight of Japanese Canadians December 16, 1941: all Japanese (even Canadian-born) had to register with the RCMP January 1942: Japanese were not allowed to operate or own fishing boats (why??) January 1942: had to turn in all cameras, radios, vehicles, weapons February 1942: Japanese-Canadians deported from 100 mile wide “protected area” along BC coast (why??)  Sent to poorly-built internment camps or beet farms  Government justified the measure under the Wartime Measures Act

5 The Plight of Japanese Canadians They had to turn in all of their belongings to the Canadian government for “safe-keeping” Instead, the government sold their possessions and their homes (sometimes for as little as $50) Performed farming or labour jobs Men who resisted were sent to POW camps

6 The Plight of Japanese Canadians August 4, 1944: “It is a fact that no person of Japanese race born in Canada has been charged with any act of sabotage or disloyalty during the war” – Prime Minister Mackenzie King

7 The Bad News Despite King’s statement, the federal government passed a law that gave Japanese Canadians a choice: 1.Go back to Japan OR 2.Resettle east of the Rockies  The government still wanted them away from the coast

8 The Result? The Canadian public put enormous pressure on the government to stop deporting its own citizens On January 24, 1947, the law was revoked but the damage was already done

9 Apology September 1988: Prime Minister Brian Mulroney announced that the government would partially re-pay Japanese Canadian survivors for their losses The terms were:

10 Terms 1. A public apology for past injustices against Japanese Canadians 2.$21 000 for each surviving Japanese Canadian born before 1949 3.$24 million to establish a Race Relations Foundation 4. $12 million to the Japanese Canadian Association for low-cost housing for elderly Japanese Canadians
