You want to justify FDR's notorious EO 9066 and unconstitutional decisions by the S.C. on the basis of Hitler and Putin? WTF?
I’m not justifying it at all. There is absolutely no justification for anything that was done to Japanese Americans or Japanese Canadians during World War II.
When the Canadian immigration minister during WWII was asked how many Jewish refugees Canada was prepared to take in, he famously answered “None is too many”. Every Canadian school child knows that quote. It’s in our history books. Canada has apologized and paid reparations to the Japanese families harmed.
Canada now takes in more refugees from conflict zones and natural disasters coming in our ports of entry than any other first world nation. We have been named the “Most welcoming nation in the world”.
Acknowledging our past mistakes. Apologizing to those we harmed, making sure our children know what happened. Trying not to do it again.
