Declare them a threat, throw them in jail without bail, seize their livelihood and sell their property, where have we seen this before? One of the great shames of Canada is the way we treated Japanese Canadians during WWII.
P.S. If you’re wondering the political affiliation of the draconian prime ministers mentioned in the article, they were all Liberals.
Never. I repeat … NEVER … in any of my public school education, did ANY teacher ever mention the Canadian internment of Japanese … not like the bad, baaaad America did. My teachers all bashed the CRAP out of America’s paranoid destruction of hundreds of thousands of loyal American-Japanese … but never once mentioned that those Nice, Affable, “Neutral” Canadians did. Oh … and my teachers also never mentioned it was their Democrat hero, FDR who callously destroyed Japanese American lives
The first time the War Measures act was invoked, it was used to imprison and enslave Ukrainians. Canada fought for King and Empire in the First World War. The Empire, at that time, was at war with Austria-Hungary, which included part of Ukraine.
From Wikipedia:
“From 1914 to 1920, some few thousand naturalized Canadians of Ukrainian descent were kept in twenty-four internment camps and related work sites (also known, at the time, as concentration camps).
Their savings were confiscated and many had land taken while imprisoned as the land was “abandoned”. Some were “paroled” from camps in 1916–17, many were enslaved as unpaid workers on farms, mines, and railways, where labour was scarce.
Much existing Canadian infrastructure was built by this enslaved Ukrainian labour.”
The Ukranian Othodox bishop of Canada, at the time (according to my Grandmother), “Loyal Ukranians, your emperor needs you!” Leading to massive government involvement and the loss of individual rights of all associated with the foreign body seeking to contaminate Canada’s constitution (old meaning, internal strengths, none of this political garbage).
Thereby denoting that anyone with divided loyalties working against the common good (cough, cough, WEF) should be interned under Canadian law…
Or possibly interred.
Loyal Ukrainians, your emperor needs you!”
That’s very interesting, thank you for that reminiscence.
I had heard that Emperor Franz-Josef’s loyal Ukrainians, and many of his other assorted Slavs, were not overly enthusiastic in fighting fellow Slavs, such as Russians and Serbs. The front with Italy wasn’t a problem, however.
WWI was the final catastrophe that destroyed Europe and eventually western civilization.
Some one told me the RCMP were asking people to report anti-government posts on social media. Not sure if the RCMP posted it on Twitter or FB. I don’t have accounts with either of those. Can anyone here confirm this rumour?
Who’d be surprised? The RCMP is the modern-day Gestapo for the loathsome totalitarian libscum.
Use a good vpn.

You really should try digging into the SDA archives some time. Pre-COVID, many folks here were pro-internment of Japanese Canadians during WWII.
Many still are.
Justin – because some of us know history. For a good, easy to access primer, I recommend Michelle Malkin’s “The Case for Internment”, and the events of Niihao island. I’ll wait while you look it up.
Can’t be bothered? Recent immigrants and 2nd generation Japanese immigrants assist a shot-down Japanese pilot after Pearl Harbour. Including shooting (but not killing) a native Hawaii man. Within a couple of months, Japanese submarines are using machine-guns to strafe oil platforms in California.
If you think that the internments were based only on racism then you’re even stupider than you come across here.
Still an insanely inhumane and embarrassing reaction to a minor problem that could have been dealt with by counterintelligence. Much like Trudeau’s ridiculous war on dissidents of his regime.

I think what they ought to have done at the outset of WWI is lock up the whole Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha bunch of certified sauerkraut-sucking loons.
A top member of Canada’s Elite has graced us with her words
(she seems to have no problem with her current employer rounding up millions of people into re-education camps)…
“Freedom is not absolute. We live in a social matrix, where one person’s exercise of freedom may conflict with another person’s exercise of freedom.”
“Who sets the limits on our freedoms? …our duly elected representatives in Parliament, and the executive branch that has the responsibility to maintain “peace, order and good government,”
“(Governments) are accountable to the people, who can vote them out at the next election if they get the line-drawing wrong, and accountable through the courts.”
To sum up…
Your damn trucks interfered with HER freedom, the government should take HER side, and if you don’t like it then you have to wait for the next election, or drum up a hundred thousand bucks and five years of your time and go to court.
By the way, the writer is Justice Bev McLachlin, former Chief Justice of Canada’s Supreme Court and CURRENT PRESIDING JUSTICE OF HONG KONG’s Court of Final Appeal.

Why exactly is she sitting on the Chinese Government’s top Court in Hong Kong?
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-hong-kongs-crackdown-against-opposition-casts-fresh-scrutiny-on-role/
Her alma mater, the University of Alberta, likes to brag about her career. Another reason for me not to make a donation.
That’s actually not how it works in a democracy. We are allowed to express our opinions and oppose the government’s actions through peaceful assembly which are rights we are born with. Trudeau is intent on taking away our rights permanently.
The commie Judge has spoken and predictably she has sided with the lawless Tyrannical Government.
This vile woman is a stain on Canada. Why hasn’t this demonic woman quit her job in protest against China and their brutal Liberal/NDP style authoritarianism inflicted on the once free people of Hong Kong ?
Because she’s a hate fueled commie thats why.
If Canada has anyone that can match the psychotic mendaciousness and self serving narcissism of criminal Hillary Clinton it is surely Beverly McLachlin, just another commie hectoring from her privileged perch.
Vandalizing everything she gets her grimey hands on.
To put politely, fuk that old commie hag.
Who is she to decide who gets freedom and who doesn’t ? Freedom is absolute you parasitic cow and it doesn’t require old Bevs permission.
I can see why the CCP love the old bitch.
We live in a social matrix
What she meant was, “YOU live in the matrix; I am an agent.”
“Freedom without limits slides imperceptibly into freedom to say and do what you want about people who don’t look like you or talk like you.”
Right, Bev. That is why Israel and Russia have the atomic bomb.
The Money Trust are only omnipotent in countries whose peoples are not able and willing to turn global financial capitals into radioactive ash if the Money Trust refuse to respect their right not only to exist but to prosper in their own homelands.
The only rights that are meaningful are the ones men are willing to kill or cripple criminals and barbarians to enforce. Simple as that.
Not every violation of rights is a WWII story.
Vladimir Putin treats Christians better than does Trudopia.

Yes, he does. Far, far better.
Putin also does not allow faggots to recruit children for sodomy. Even his Muslims are shockingly well-behaved.
I’ll bet that you do not know that prior to Pearl Harbor, the Japanese cut through French IndoChina and environs , with the very considerable help of Japanese residents. Enthusiastic 5th columnists and host country traitors. Which was noted.
Were there any in America or Canada?
You dont know. At the time, neither did DC or London
Why dont you know?
Still think it was some horrible spasm of injustice? I dont.
That’s because you’re a bigot and a fascist cocksucker.
Every bad thing that served to de-stabilize Canada was brought in under a Liberal government, actually!
The temporary income tax was introduced by Sir Robert Borden. Guess the party?
Japanese Canadians did not go to Ottawa, try pitifully to overthrow the government, piss on the war memorial, dance on the grave of the unknown soldier, steal from the poor, abuse the locals with noise and act like as*holes for three weeks by blocking the streets.
Thus endeth today’s history lesson.
I’m sorry for you. You’re so obviously the product of an unloving home. I’m glad you’re only an Internet troll and not a serial killer (one of the many other possible manifestations), so I’m conformable pitying you rather than wishing you dead in a ditch.
Can’t argue facts, can you?
I can’t even type “facst”.
That’s OK Chelsea. Life’s back to normal on Tuesday in Ottawa what with the Rideau Centre shoplifter incident, cafe robbery (2x), shooting victim dropped at hospital door (died). And that’s only one day!! Enjoy.
Michelle Malkin wrote a book in defence of internment. It’s called In Defence of Internment.
Psychopath David Suzuki is karmic punishment on Canada for the internment.
