Remember that the treatment of those who were interned in the camps in Canada was a great deal different than the brutal torure and death, and slave working conditions that Canadian soldiers endured, as prisoners of war, under the Japanese Imperial Army after being captured aftter the battle of Hong Kong in December of 1941.

None of those Japanese in the camps in Canada was being beaten, starved or denied food, and many babies were born in those camps in BC and Alberta.

Meanwhile the Canadian soldiers in Japan were trying to exist on a diet of about 800 calories a day, while working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week in coal mines or steel mills, or shipyards. About half o f then died of starvation or illness, and some were be-headed with a sword, by the Japanese as a warning to others to keep working.

When the war ended in 1945, the Canadian POWS were sent back to Canada, where they started to die, due to the delayed effects of disease. Many died in their 30's and 40's. Broken men.

Current Japanese companies, like Honda, Suzuki, Misubishi, Toyota, and Kawasaki, ALL used slave labourers who were Canadian, American, British, Australian, Indian and New Zealand Prisoners Of War. They made money fom the suffreing of our men, and they have NEVER apologised for any of this treatment so long ago.

So, don't feel too sorry for the Japanese people who were in those camps in BC and Alberta, none of them was beaten or starved to death.

Answer

Unless the previous respondent is suggesting that civilian foreign nationals residing legally and peacefully in Canada ought to be considered in the same light as enemy combatants actively captured while engaged in armed combat, then the logic of trying to contrast conditions of POWs with civilian concentration camps escapes me. The forced relocation of thousands of innocent individuals, with the accompanying confiscation of their property stictly on the basis of their race requires a more intelligent examination as to what the true parallel to be drawn is.
