Japanese Canadian Internment During The Beginning Of Wwii
Japanese–Canadian Internment WWII
During the beginning of WWII, there were a lot of Japanese Canadians living in Canada, all of which were either second–generation Canadians,
Japanese people who had taken Canadian citizenship or those who were still Japanese nationals. These Japanese Canadians mainly inhabited British
Columbia and smaller villages in the coastal regions of the west coast. Prior to their internment, Japanese Canadians suffered great prejudice,
discrimination and racism. White people were fearful that they would lose their dominance due to competition in industries such as fishing, farming,
markets and even in education. The Canadian Government created laws stating that Japanese Canadians were not allowed to vote, they also had fishing
and farming permits denied, which were supposed to motivate them to move back to Japan. On top of that, White people also feared that Japan would
attempt to expand into Canada and take it's natural resources due to Japan's expansionist policies that existed at the time. On December 7th, 1941,
Japanese Air Forces attacked the US forces at Pearl Harbor, pulling the US into the second world war. On the same day, 50,000 Japanese troops
attacked Hong Kong, which was a British Colony at the time. After events the events at Pearl Harbour, anyone living in Canada of Japanese
immigration or descent would be considered an "enemy alien". Around this time, Japan also launched attacks on the Philippines and Malaya, the

The Battle Of Vimy Ridge
The first major event that impacted Canada's legacy, as a whole, was the sacrificial battle of Vimy Ridge. Vimy Ridge was proven to be essential to
the foundation of Canada as it signified the birth of a new nation and it was considered to be the greatest battle fought, in World War One. Firstly, the
Battle of Vimy Ridge established Canada's emergence as a newly born nation from under the shadow of Britain and gave a verification of Canada's
prominence on the international level. For instance, after successfully regaining the ridge, it displayed to the British superpower, that Canada are
worthy of independence, that must be granted upon as a reward for a significant victory (Fonseca). As a result, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, marked the
end of British soldiers commanding Canadian troops, as Canada showed tremendous resilience internationally, and also proved that we are
independently, capable of leading a well–organized attack against other countries (Fonseca). This milestone was a huge accomplishment for Canadians,
as eventually this was the catalyst for total autonomy of Britain ("History Now"). Secondly, the Battle of Vimy Ridge gave Canada justified
independence on the international stage. As a result of winning the complicated battle, Canada was deservedly permitted to their own independent seat
and signature at the peace talks after the war. This then allowed Canada, to participate in voicing their thoughts, and plans as a newly independent
country. This was seen to be,

Role of Minorities in the Canadian Armed Forces
With the belief that they were superior in patriotism, many people alienated minorities during World War II. In terms of the military ranking and task,
many minorities were restricted. Many Chinese Canadians were not accepted into the air force or navy. The Japanese Canadians were considered
"enemies" and were subjected to many hate crimes during the given time. They were also often turned down when applying for a position in the
Canadian armed forces, and deemed unfit. This was highly based on a perspective of generalization and prejudice. Additionally, racism played a part in

This policy was abolished later on in the war. Additionally the government, as well as the military made it very difficult for racial minorities to ascend
the ranks in the army. A lesser portion of the Chinese immigrants did not want to join the armed forces because they believed they had been treated
unfairly. When World War II started, the head tax on Chinese immigrants had not yet been abolished. The Chinese people were discriminated against
and were forced to pay to immigrate to Canada because of their ethnicity. It can be argued that this policy's purpose was to discourage Chinese people
from settling in Canada. The British Columbian and Saskatchewan government both disagreed with idea of enlisting Chinese Canadians in the army.
They thought that after war, the Chinese Canadians would demand the right to vote. Although many Chinese Canadians, were opposed to fighting for
Canada because of the discrimination that they faced (head tax), many youth still enlisted because they wanted to show their loyalty to their country.
After Japan entered the war, the british began accepting Chinese Canadians to fight. They fought behind Japanese lines in China, Sarawak, Malaya.
Although approximately 600 Chinese Canadians had served by the end of World War II, the contributions of many of these men went unnoticed. One
such man was George Chow, who was accepted into the armed forces in 1940

Japanese Canadian Essay
The world is filled with different kinds of hatred caused by different reasons. For instance, people may hate others because of their gender, or for
having different beliefs. Perhaps people hate others based on their cultural representation instead of who they really are as an individual, whether that
representation is a religion or a race. This single fact of racial discrimination has caused many terrible and tragic events in history such as the holocaust,
slavery, and among them is the evacuation and relocation of Japanese Canadians during World War II. In the novels ВЎВ®ObasanВЎВЇ and

Canada. Before 1868, it was illegal for Japanese citizens to leave the country, but with a change in government in the 1870s, they were encouraged to

There was already widespread anti–Asian feelings in British Columbia to begin with, so the increased immigration was even less welcoming by the
British majority in Canada. The Japanese faced legislated racism, unfair living and working conditions, and a population that wanted them gone. The
formation of the Asiatic Exclusion League was a result of this racism, as Asians in general were seen as a threat to white Canadians' jobs and cultures.
Eventually, the Japanese immigrants gained their independence and economic strength. They saved enough money to buy their own fishing boats and
farms, and had success with fish–packing, construction, retail, lumber, and boat building businesses. Some started their own fishing and farming
cooperatives. World War I broke out on July 28, 2914, dragging Canada in with her British mother land. Although Japanese
–Canadians were not
allowed to enlist in British Columbia, they were accepted in every other part of Canada. In 1917, Akira's father travelled to Alberta and enlisted,
joining the 196 Japanese men who did the same. By the end of the war, 54 Japanese–Canadians died fighting for Canada. World War I played a
significant role for many Japanese–Canadians to winning the vote. After more than two decades after the war, surviving World War I veterans finally
won this right in 1931. The Japanese Canadian Citizens League was formed in 1936 to fight for Canadian citizenship and get the vote for

Obasan Joy Kogawa Analysis
Obasan, written by, Joy Kogawa, is a novel that highlights the experiences of the Canadian Japanese residents during WW2. Inspired to write based
on her personal experience, Kogawa does an amazing job in displaying the hardships that the Japanese Canadian's had gone through. Two of the major
themes that I believe arise in the novel are, silence and memory. At first, Obasan appears as a novel that tells people about the dangers of silence and it
comes as a warning to the readers about the consequences of remaining quiet. Naomi's family is displayed as a humble quiet family that accepts the
Canadian governments rules and regulations. Yet, their humbleness doesn't make their experience any better than the rest of the Japanese residents.

Silence protects Obasan from the greater society. Obasan hears less and says little, making her immune in a way to the racist remarks and thoughtless
comments that surround her. Rough Lock Bill, who's one of the most admirable characters within the novel actually praises Naomi for her silence. Bill
states that excessive talking is often self–centred. His words are very crucial and hold a lot of weight because apart from Naomi's family, Bill is the
only white trustworthy adult in Naomi's life. Memory is needed in order to form a sense of individuality. Without memory, civilizations would not be
able to progress and expand. In the novel, Obasan, we get to see that based on memory, there's a spectrum that is formed. On one side, we have Uncle
and Obasan who believe that the past remains there. On the other end is aunt Emily, she believes that only by discussing and expressing past events we
can ensure that they never happen again and that these events mark a place in history. Right in the middle of the spectrum, I would say is where Naomi
falls. Naomi is confused between her past and thinking that reminiscing about it will only hurt

Essay on Japanese Internment in Canada
The core of the Japanese experience in Canada lies in the shameful and almost undemocratic suspension of human rights that the Canadian government
committed during World War II. As a result, thousands of Japanese were uprooted to be imprisoned in internment camps miles away from their homes.
While only a small percentage of the Japanese living in Canada were actually nationals of Japan, those who were Canadian born were, without any
concrete evidence, continuously being associated with a country that was nothing but foreign to them. Branded as "enemy aliens", the Japanese
Canadians soon came to the realization that their beloved nation harboured so much hate and anti–Asian sentiments that Canada was becoming just as

The initial reaction to Pearl Harbor was to take cautious emergency actions to avert civil unrest. Soon, the Canadian government passed the War
Measures Act. It gave permission to intern all undesirable Japanese, tie up every Japanese–owned fishing boat in British Columbia, close all Japanese
language schools, forbid the publishing of newspapers in Japanese, and seize all Japanese property. All of which were subsequently carried out. In
1941, there were twenty–three thousand five hundred Japanese persons in Canada, residing mainly on the coast of British Columbia. Of that, six
thousand seven hundred were Canadian born, seven thousand were naturalized citizens, and the rest were nationals of Japan. However, nothing could
make any difference. To the typical, white British Columbian, the Japanese were all lower–class citizens. Five hours after the attack on Pearl Harbour,
forty–eight Japanese planes bombed Hong Kong where two Canadian battalions were stationed, and were inflicted with heavy casualties. The
"problem" of the resident Japanese in British Columbia was then quickly set into the mainstream focus. Prior to declaring war on Japan, Mackenzie
King had stated that the "enemy country" had "wantonly and treacherously" attacked British territory, and that "Japan's actions [were] a threat to the

Silence : Silence And Silence
Because Naomi hears no response and only silence accompanies her relentlessly. So she growing up in solitude and silence, Naomi loses the
ability to communicate with others and the silence became part of her life. "The language of her grief is silence. She has learned it well, its
idioms, its nuances, over the years, silence within her small body has grown large and powerful" (Kogawa 17). The silence grew within her,
bringing difficulty to verbalize her suffering. Silence has become her way of expression, that dominant her actions. Naomi's quiet and reserved
demeanor keeps her from informing others of her feelings or asking others for help. On multiple occasions, Old man Gower abuses Naomi, but she
speaks nothing about the incidents because of fear. And she even does not know how to speak this thing. She feels that if she speaks, she "will split

fiddlehead fist, through the soft fontanelle of [her] four–year–old mind" (Kogawa 76). Keeping this incident to herself causes trauma. Old man Gower
makes Naomi live through miserable trauma without a voice to utter her suffering: "The novel depicts the plight of a child who does not know and

Why Did The Canadian Government Apologize To Japanese...
History Essay Outline
Question: Why did the Canadian government apologize to Japanese Canadians in 1988?
Thesis: The reason as to why the Canadian Government apologized to Japanese Canadians, was for the internment and POW camps the Japanese were
placed in making them endure pain and suffering, discrimination, and losing everything, following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Argument 1: Once the Canadian government rounded up Japanese citizens, they faced pain and suffering through out their time in internment camps.

problem with discriminating Japanese either which makes things worse, or makes other Canadians think its okay to discriminate. BC politicians

"when they spoke I felt... the physical presence of evil" (James H. Marsh Japanese Internment: Banished beyond tears) Even at the end of the war,

Japanese vs. Canadian Schools
Individuality and Interdependence: a Comparison of the North American and Japanese Educational Systems
The comparison between Japanese and North American educational systems is often used. The Japanese system, along with other Asian cultures,
places importance on the group and the interdependence of its members (Cole & Cole, 2001, p. 541). The North American model, in contrast, focuses
on the ideals of individuality and independence (Cole & Cole, 2001, p.541). This contrast is due to a conflicting cultural/social structure and outlook
of the world. Japanese look at the development of self as doubled sided: the inner self and the social or public self (Hoffman, 2000, p.307). Within the
Japanese education system, the teacher's goal is to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The ability to distinguish and make shifts between the social and private domain is considered the mark of a mature child and individual (Hoffman,
2000, p.307).
The North American educational system values the unified self (Hoffman, 2000, p.307). Its culture does not place value on two distinguished layers,
but instead emphasizes the importance of communication. North American individualism places importance on the development of self as an
individual independent of others. The two layers of Japanese self allows for Japanese children to think one way and act another, something a person in
North American culture would consider fake or untrue to one's self. The North American system places value on revealing your true self and
communicating your true feelings as an individual. Children can question things and express themselves freely. Within the educational system, children
are encouraged to speak openly and freely, without retrain. This openness is reflective of the type of adult the education system hopes to develop
within each child.
These are the frameworks for each system. After reflecting on the three schools in Japan and the one here in Canada where I worked, it is interesting to
note how these ideals actually took form within these schools. In Japan, the teachers expressed concerns for the future of their system. In terms of class

The Internment Of Japanese-Canada
The internment of Japanese–Canadians was not only cruel but also immoral in a multitude of ways. In the Second World War, Japanese
–Canadians
were seen as enemies despite being mostly naturalized or born in Canada (Suigman 52). The internment served to protect Canadian citizens in the West
Coast, however, it achieved nothing. The internment of Japanese–Canadians was not justified because the hardships faced were the result of racial
prejudice as seen through the justifications for the cruel camps, the dispossession of property and the silencing Japanese culture for decades. The
internment of Japanese–Canadians was immoral because of the racist justification leading to the poor conditions in the camps. Japanese–Canadians
were regarded with suspicion during World War 2, due to the attacks at Pearl Harbour and the distrust that Caucasian people possessed. As a result of
blatant racial prejudice, symbols for Japanese–Canadians of the Second World War would consist of the stench of manure in Hastings Park, white
shirts with a red circle, lack of space, loss of privacy, one suitcase and a 24–hour notice (Suigman 63). Families would be separated and men were
prohibited from seeing their wives and children at Hastings Park (Sunahara 50). Hastings Park was a facility where Japanese–Canadians were held and
where men would later be dispersed to work at road camps (Sunahara 50). The conditions here were worse for women. They lived in tight areas with

Canada has been well regarded with its attitude towards multiculturalism, establishing an Act that protects the rights of people who have different

has been a part of Canadian history, including but not limited to the colonialism of Indigenous Peoples and the internment of Japanese Canadians. The
effects of colonialism on indigenous culture and the treatment of Japanese Canadians are reflected in the novels Monkey Beach by Eden Robinson

effects of growing up in minority communities in British Columbia, as well as discovering their own identities, by reflecting on their pasts during a

Examples Of Race And Racism
"Where is Race and Racism?" Quite notably suitable for the first chapter analyzed by Dr. Merle A. Jacobs. As an intro to the book, Race In–Equity,
Intersectionality, Social Determinants of Health and Equity, this question is subsequently brought up, however, no one knows it's true origins. This
course Health and Equity, directed by Dr. Merle A. Jacobs gives a clear direction on how it possibly came to be, and it is this: "racism is socially
constructed". It is a belief conjured up in today's society and has been embedded throughout the origins of Canada. In this essay I seek to outline the
underlining problems of Canada and how race is socially constructed. It will seek to break down the major minorities examined in this text, most
notably the Indigenous People of Canada, Japanese Canadians and the "African" Americans. It aims to highlight that the problems stem from the
social determinants of health: the physical environment, child development, and income and status. The essay will prove that "integration" and
"segregation" are the same word in a Canadian "alienated" world. Whereby, people are taught to be "Canadians" by being separated by its norms
and practices, it's culture and henceforth, the people "different" will lose their cultural identity and will be forced into sharing the same beliefs as
their white counterparts. This essay will provide aids on how, and whereby, policies and laws need to be rectified, in order to have a concrete solution
and not a temporarily relief for problems manifesting in today's society. Canada is well–known to be rich in resources yet fails to equally distribute
them. In Canada it is well known to have one of the biggest bodies of fresh–clean drinking water and fertile land, rich in oil and gas, copper, and

domination, while another for freedom; One side slaughtering and discriminating due to nationality, race, and religion; the other fighting against for
freedom, sovereignty, and peace. In reality, the war was not as black and white as that. Though the Axis Powers did commit heinous Crimes against
humanity (I.E Holocaust, Murder of millions, Attempt at world domination etc.), the allies also had their own dark moments. Joy Kogawa displays the
horrors of the allies' dark side shockingly accurately in the book "Obasan". The book talks about the impact of a Loathing Society and internment on...

Furthermore, all Japanese newspapers and businesses were shut down. In Obasan the same events occurred as they were evicted from their home,
separated and sent to various places across western Canada. This had an adverse psychological and economical impact on them, as the family was
stripped of their possessions, jobs, and families. It had such an impact that people like Naomi, in real life still are haunted by it. The Psychological
impacts put upon the Japanese–Canadians, weren't just the horrible experiences, or the separation of family and friends. Rather the impact due to the
discrimination of the Japanese–Canadians by the government and the rest of society had a deeper impact. The hatred of the Japanese–Canadians by the
Government and the people had an Enormous impact on the people's well being, and the way they viewed themselves. The government after the
relocation sold most of the properties and confiscated possessions of the Japanese–Canadians. They also took out all of the Japanese Newspapers,
restricted Telephone and mail Services, thus Preventing Communication. Furthermore, the media was full of "Anti–Japanese–Canadian Rhetoric."

Japanese-Canadian Internment Camps
During the World War 2 Japanese–Canadian Internment camps, Canadian citizens from so called "enemy countries", were torn away from the lives
they had built for themselves. They were taken away from their homes and families to live and work in internment camps sanctioned by the Canadian
government because of their ethnic background. Of the 22,000 Japanese Canadians living in BC at the time, nearly Вѕ of them were born in Canada or
naturalized citizens, yet they were still prosecuted like criminals. Muriel Kitigawa, a young Japanese descendant, wrote to her brother back in Japan
telling him about the hatred of other Canadians against the Japanese. Signs were posted on the highways "JAPS KEEP OUT", and the persecution was

Japanese Canadian During World War 2 Summary
Japanese Canadians during World War 2 were deeply affected, all over the world but, received the harshest punishment in Canada. With families,
having to leave their homes, and all their land and get shipped to interment camps, where they were treated poorly and not seen as individuals but
seen as japanese, by the colour of their skin. I believe that many ethnic groups all over the world have received a form of discrimination or
mistreatment that has abolished some of their heritage and identity. Apologies have been given out but, have have not been giving for the right
reasons instead given for the sake of saying we have apologized. The author develops the idea that when a social group or ethnic group have
experienced hardships and social scrutiny, this effect them deeply leading, to future hatred and searching for answers.... Show more content on

Each time a political leader apologized to the Japanese, they were trying to erase what had happen in the past and move on with the future. This is
a huge problem because you can not try and forget your past if you have not fully resolved it or it will lead to grudges held but the people. Many
Japanese people had trouble coming to terms with the past, and the treatment their previous generations had faced. I believe if we do not try and
cover up the past with apologies and let the past be the past and accept it as part of our history and move on and learn from our mistakes apologies
from the government would been seen more sincere. I believe apologies are really about a promise to the future, about actually changing. It's about the
start of something new rather than closing up the pat. It is also about acknowledging a story. That has to happen for the apology to be

Summary Of ' The ' Brother '
Stephen, Naomi's brother, happens to be a very unhappy man even though he feels like he is a well–known and celebrated musician. However, he is
troubled despite this outward flourishing and as a result, renounces his Japanese identity entirely. He intentionally expunges the Japanese language
from his memory and shows discomfort whenever a habit of speech, food or gesture is exhibited. Apparently, he survived by beating down memories
of his childhood and to some extent, becomes unknowable like Naomi in the novel. He completely turned away from his family, ethnicity and his
country because of his experience on his family's separation, racism and internment.
In Obasan, each character comes to term differently with their heritage, there is Stephen, who after being tormented and teased in his childhood of
being a "gimpy jap" (Obasan, chapter 22), felt ashamed of who he was and tried to completely separate himself from his root. There is Aunty Emily
who is quite utmost with the whole situation in her family and would protest against racism and injustice especially when it comes to the issue of the
Japanese–Canadians. In this novel, it is seen that the government sent letters to the Japanese families, asking them to hand over their titles and if they
refuse, it would be taken away from them forcefully and their families would be interned in camps but it was only Emily who stood up and responded
to the government by writing letters to protest against their demand. She appears to be

Canada's Currency And Its Effect On The Economy
Canada's currency has followed a similar movement to oil prices. In the decade before the oil price boom, Canada's currency was never worth more
than $0.75 when measured in American dollars. It declined in the late 90s and early 2000s and in August of 2002 was worth just $0.625 US. it rose
greatly in the next five years–reaching a peak of $1.10 US in November 2007. Like oil, it has fallen since then but, has not reached levels seen in the
1990s. Today, Canadian–American exchange rate is still $0.91 and is projected to rise when oil prices do so(Bank of Canada)
EVIDENCE
As stated in the theoretical model developed by economists W. Max Cordon and J. Peter Neary, two factors must be present to diagnose Dutch
Disease in an economy. First, a resource boom must be responsible for a rise in real exchange rates. Second, the appreciation of exchange rates must
have a harmful effect on the output of the manufacturing sector. The following sections will explore research conducted on both these issues.
Relationship between Commodity Prices and the Canada–US Exchange Rate From plotting the exchange rate against movements in the WTI spot price
below, we can see there is evidence that the two are correlated. Oil prices have not been the only influence on exchange rates however. During the rise
of the Canadian dollar from 2002, downward pressure was put on the US dollar, causing it to depreciate against many western currencies. Since 1995
the American dollar has dropped 20%

Japanese Canadian Internment Camps
The Canadians had no right in putting Japanese Canadians into internment camps. The first reason is that most of the Japanese Canadians were born in
Canada and had little to no connection to Japan. This meant that they were not able to spy for the Japanese whom were an enemy with Canada at the
time. It also meant that the Japanese Canadians were unable to help Japan strategize an attack against Canada due to the fact that they were unaware of
what Japan had been up to. Another reason is that, the Japanese Canadians were fighting against their own ethnicity to serve Canada. They risked their
lives fighting a war against Japan because they believed that they were Canadian. Finally, the Japanese had no suspicious activity going on indicating

Analysis Of Obasan By Joy Kogawa
In Obasan, Joy Kogawa explores a woman's past through conflict, themes of silence and prejudice presenting her traumatic story in an unthreatening
manner suggesting it is possible to heal from trauma. Obasan is a powerful novel written through the perspective of Naomi Nakane, who is the
protagonist of the novel. The novel's core is based on the memories and experiences of Naomi. The setting is WesternCanada and the novel goes back
and forth between 1972 and World War II during the internment of Japanese
–Canadians. Kogawa presents Naomi's story in an unthreatening manner as
a way to bring recognition of the horrific events in Canadian past as Karpinski argues that, "Obasan deliberately presents itself as unthreatening
...Constantly facing the risk of provoking a potentially defensive and hostile reaction among white Canadian readers" (54). Obasan centres around the
conflicts of the Japanese Canadian internment and the emotional, physical, and hardships that fell on the Japanese during and after the war. Kogawa
conveys that past events can impact an individual's life due to the traumatizing memories and cause them to feel conflicted, but it is possible for
them to heal from such trauma. For instance, one of Naomi's earliest traumatic memories was when she was molested by Old Man Gower, a family
friend of hers. When she recalls the vivid images of Old Man Gower sexually abusing her, she claims that it was "unthinkable to be held by [such]
force" (67–68). Naomi cannot even bear

British Columbia And Prairie West
INTRODUCTION
British Columbia and Prairie West experienced many changes in economic, political, and social developments. The great depression of 1930s was
more devastating on the Canadian prairies than other regions of Canada. It impacted badly on economy, social organization, and politics of the Prairie
region. Various factors such as lowwheat prices in the international market, fall of export markets during the depression, insufficient financial
investments lowered the economy of the Prairie region. The economic and political situation worsened in the British Columbia during the Depression
as well as after the World War II. The Prairie West depended on the farming as their main occupation while British Columbia depended on forestry,
mining and fishing. After the World War II, the Prairie West witnessedAlberta dominated by the energy industry whereas Saskatchewan and Manitoba
maintained their economy by the replacing the farm sectors with the economic sectors. British Colombia acquired its name in energy and transportation
sectors. The post–1945 period experienced differences in class, race, gender, and ethnicity. Prairie and British Columbia underwent changes such as
population variability, establishment of national social insurance programs etc. In 2000s, the energy companies made its way towards Alberta and
Saskatchewan.

Japanese Canadians And Japanese Canadian Americans
The government had interfered with their legal rights and did not give them equal protection under the law. Simply, the decision of putting the
Japanese Canadians into these camps where they were racially discriminated, which negatively impacted on the Japanese Canadians. The Japanese
Canadians cannot simply change the color of their skin or who they are due to something others are responsible for, and not the responsibility of them
individually. The discrimination that Japanese Canadians faced psychologically damaged the brains and had isolated them from the rest of the world
because they were categorized as inadequate individuals. Japanese Canadians were being stereotyped as "enemy aliens" even though they had not done
anything which would harm anyone. According to (Marsh, 2012), during 1943, Alberta needed workers, but refused to hire the Japanese, some of the
Alberta farmers that did hire Japanese workers crowded them into small shacks, and cheated them of their wages. This negatively impacted the money
of the Japanese Canadians earned for survival, and it also interfered with their well–being and health. According to the National Museum of American
History in 1943 every resident in the internment camps were required to complete one of two questionnaires misleadingly entitled "Application for
Leave Clearance" to distinguish whether they were "loyal" or "disloyal". After Pearl Harbour all of the citizens of Japanese ancestry had been classified

Canadians Interments in World War Two (restitution) No one would ever think that an apology and a meager amount of money would be sufficient
enough to pay back for taking away freedom and rights for several years. Apparently, it appears as Canadian government did. During World War II,

Years after the war ended, in 1988, Ottawa provided twelve million dollars as compensation to National Association of Japanese Canadians (Mollins,
1999). However, this amount was not enough to repair the economic hardships that Japanese Canadians underwent, because their sufferings did not
end when the war ended. Japanese Canadians came back from the internment camps, only to find out that their properties were either stolen or
publicly sold. Even though the money from the sales was kept by Custodian of Enemy Alien Property and held in account under the owner's name,
there was no interest and only limited amount of money, hundred dollars per month, was allowed to be taken out by the owner. Moreover, the law
did not allow the Japanese Canadians to work if they had money in their account (Hickman & Fukawa, 2011). This prevented Japanese Canadians
from building their financial status and getting involved in Canadian economic for many years. What is more, Japanese Canadians had to pay for their
interment at camps (Hickman & Fukawa, 2011). This requirement of payment for the camps was very unreasonable, because Japanese Canadians did
not volunteer to go to the camps; in fact, they were forced to move

The Pacific: The Battle Of Hong Kong
The battle of the Pacific began when a Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941. Simultaneously, other Japanese forces
attacked the British colonies of Hong Kong because European nations where focussing on Hitler and Mussolini. This gave Japan a crucial opportunity
to take over European colonies in Asia, such as Hong Kong. This Battle, also known as the Battle of Hong Kong involved a Japanese invasion for the
purpose of ruling Asia. The Canadians courageously fought from December 8 to 25 to defend the British colony, earning them great respect and
gradually leading to their independence as a country. Unfortunately, the defense of Hong Kong did lead to the death of 290 Canadian soldiers in only

This was because the Canadian Army saw little action in the early years of the Second World War, therefore their army was small and unprepared.
The two battalions sent to Hong Kong were quickly filled with new, inexperienced troops to fulfil Britain's request. The force, including 1,973 officers
and men along with two nurses were then shipped across the Pacific, under the command of Brigadier J.K. Lawson. It arrived in Hong Kong on
November 16, joining the military garrison of about 14,000. These new troops had many members who had a total of less than 5 weeks of training.
Furthermore, many soldiers were still teenagers, the youngest being 16 years old. The reason for sending unprepared soldiers to the British Colony was
due to the assumption that there would be time to go through advanced training. Unfortunately, the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles ofCanada
weren't subjected to enough combat training before the invasion occurred. As a result the soldiers were "insufficiently trained and not recommended
for [the] operation." The amount of training troops obtained before the defense of Hong Kong was minimal as one soldier said, "30 days training[...]
But I never fired a shot till I got to Hong Kong." In addition, Bob Jessop, a veteran, remembered one recruit asking him how to load a rifle and others

Suffering In Megumi Nakane's Obasan
The pain of suffering cannot be healed by suppressing and trying to forget the memories of traumatic events. Rather, it must be overcome by
remembering and accepting the past. At the beginning of Obasan, Megumi Naomi "Nomi" Nakane, raised in silence by her aunt, Obasan, and her
Uncle Isamu, is a wordless woman who tries to forget the suffering and ignore the mysteries of her painful past. However throughout the story, Naomi,
with the help of her Aunt Emily, revisits her childhood and discovers the truth of her family's suffering and her mother's fate. Ultimately, she comes to

Upon discovering how her mother had suffered, Naomi realizes that her own silent suffering and her attempt to forget her past only harmed her.
"Our wordlessness was our mutual destruction." (Kogawa 267). She acknowledges that hiding from and not communicating about her traumatic
experiences as her mother had done caused her to carry an emotional burden alone throughout her childhood and adulthood. Although Naomi is still
pained by the disfigurement and death of her mother, she is able to overcome the feeling of disconnectedness from her mother due to her
disappearance. "But perhaps it is because I am no longer a child I can know your presence though you are not there," (Kogawa 267). She is capable
of understanding that her mother loved her although she is not there, and that her lack of communication was a silence of love and protectiveness
rather than a form of rejection or abandonment. On a positive note, Naomi realizes that grief is not permanent. "The song of mourning is not a
lifelong song." (Kogawa 270). She declares that sorrow is not eternal, rather it is only temporary and can be overcome. Naomi finally embraces and

Japanese Internment in Canada
The core of the Japanese experience in Canada lies in the shameful and almost undemocratic suspension of human rights that the Canadian government
committed during World War II. As a result, thousands of Japanese were uprooted to be imprisoned in internment camps miles away from their homes.
While only a small percentage of the Japanese living in Canada were actually nationals of Japan, those who were Canadian born were, without any
concrete evidence, continuously being associated with a country that was nothing but foreign to them. Branded as "enemy aliens", the Japanese
Canadians soon came to the realization that their beloved nation harboured so much hate and anti–Asian sentiments that Canada was becoming just as

Government officials insisted they could not trust anyone of Japanese origin. The Japanese Canadians had unfortunately come to witness the true
extent of the bitterness that reeked from the Caucasian population.
In addition to the feelings of hostility towards the Japanese, all their hard work to successfully develop a stable living became worthless as evacuation
and internment were seen to be the only logical solutions. The "partial" evacuation of the Japanese nationals was still not enough. All had to go. A
multitude of political, economic and social organizations, as well as other pressure groups from British Columbia began a constant flow of propaganda
against the Japanese. They demanded that further, immediate action be implemented. It was the pressure from these regional groups, who were
anxious to expel the Japanese forever, that eventually propelled the government to sway in their favour. By early 1942, it was decided that all Japanese
Canadians be rounded up and relocated to the interior of British Columbia where they were to be held in detention camps. Mass internment had begun.
The Japanese were fingerprinted, photographed, and then given identification numbers, which were considered as "formal tokens of their second–class
status". Just one suitcase was allowed to be brought to the camps, while all other property was taken into government possession to be auctioned off for
costs of the internment. The Japanese captivity called

Japanese Canadian Internment During The Beginning Of Wwii

  • 1. Japanese Canadian Internment During The Beginning Of Wwii Japanese–Canadian Internment WWII During the beginning of WWII, there were a lot of Japanese Canadians living in Canada, all of which were either second–generation Canadians, Japanese people who had taken Canadian citizenship or those who were still Japanese nationals. These Japanese Canadians mainly inhabited British Columbia and smaller villages in the coastal regions of the west coast. Prior to their internment, Japanese Canadians suffered great prejudice, discrimination and racism. White people were fearful that they would lose their dominance due to competition in industries such as fishing, farming, markets and even in education. The Canadian Government created laws stating that Japanese Canadians were not allowed to vote, they also had fishing and farming permits denied, which were supposed to motivate them to move back to Japan. On top of that, White people also feared that Japan would attempt to expand into Canada and take it's natural resources due to Japan's expansionist policies that existed at the time. On December 7th, 1941, Japanese Air Forces attacked the US forces at Pearl Harbor, pulling the US into the second world war. On the same day, 50,000 Japanese troops attacked Hong Kong, which was a British Colony at the time. After events the events at Pearl Harbour, anyone living in Canada of Japanese immigration or descent would be considered an "enemy alien". Around this time, Japan also launched attacks on the Philippines and Malaya, the victories in these ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. The Battle Of Vimy Ridge The first major event that impacted Canada's legacy, as a whole, was the sacrificial battle of Vimy Ridge. Vimy Ridge was proven to be essential to the foundation of Canada as it signified the birth of a new nation and it was considered to be the greatest battle fought, in World War One. Firstly, the Battle of Vimy Ridge established Canada's emergence as a newly born nation from under the shadow of Britain and gave a verification of Canada's prominence on the international level. For instance, after successfully regaining the ridge, it displayed to the British superpower, that Canada are worthy of independence, that must be granted upon as a reward for a significant victory (Fonseca). As a result, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, marked the end of British soldiers commanding Canadian troops, as Canada showed tremendous resilience internationally, and also proved that we are independently, capable of leading a well–organized attack against other countries (Fonseca). This milestone was a huge accomplishment for Canadians, as eventually this was the catalyst for total autonomy of Britain ("History Now"). Secondly, the Battle of Vimy Ridge gave Canada justified independence on the international stage. As a result of winning the complicated battle, Canada was deservedly permitted to their own independent seat and signature at the peace talks after the war. This then allowed Canada, to participate in voicing their thoughts, and plans as a newly independent country. This was seen to be, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Role Of Minorities During World War II Role of Minorities in the Canadian Armed Forces Eman Khan CHC2D1 Ms. Cipolla May 22, 2017 Role of Minorities in the Canadian Armed Forces With the belief that they were superior in patriotism, many people alienated minorities during World War II. In terms of the military ranking and task, many minorities were restricted. Many Chinese Canadians were not accepted into the air force or navy. The Japanese Canadians were considered "enemies" and were subjected to many hate crimes during the given time. They were also often turned down when applying for a position in the Canadian armed forces, and deemed unfit. This was highly based on a perspective of generalization and prejudice. Additionally, racism played a part in the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This policy was abolished later on in the war. Additionally the government, as well as the military made it very difficult for racial minorities to ascend the ranks in the army. A lesser portion of the Chinese immigrants did not want to join the armed forces because they believed they had been treated unfairly. When World War II started, the head tax on Chinese immigrants had not yet been abolished. The Chinese people were discriminated against and were forced to pay to immigrate to Canada because of their ethnicity. It can be argued that this policy's purpose was to discourage Chinese people from settling in Canada. The British Columbian and Saskatchewan government both disagreed with idea of enlisting Chinese Canadians in the army. They thought that after war, the Chinese Canadians would demand the right to vote. Although many Chinese Canadians, were opposed to fighting for Canada because of the discrimination that they faced (head tax), many youth still enlisted because they wanted to show their loyalty to their country. After Japan entered the war, the british began accepting Chinese Canadians to fight. They fought behind Japanese lines in China, Sarawak, Malaya. Although approximately 600 Chinese Canadians had served by the end of World War II, the contributions of many of these men went unnoticed. One such man was George Chow, who was accepted into the armed forces in 1940

  • 5. Japanese Canadian Essay The world is filled with different kinds of hatred caused by different reasons. For instance, people may hate others because of their gender, or for having different beliefs. Perhaps people hate others based on their cultural representation instead of who they really are as an individual, whether that representation is a religion or a race. This single fact of racial discrimination has caused many terrible and tragic events in history such as the holocaust, slavery, and among them is the evacuation and relocation of Japanese Canadians during World War II. In the novels ВЎВ®ObasanВЎВЇ and ВЎВ®ItsukaВЎВЇ by Joy Kogawa, the main protagonist Naomi and her family go through the mistreatment and racial discrimination, which occurred to all Japanese ...

The painful experience leaves tormenting remembrance that requires people to take a long time to recover. In ВЎВ®ItsukaВЎВЇ which is a continuation of ВЎВ®ObasanВЎВЇ, the protagonist Naomi is haunted by her memories of her childhood growing up in the World War II period of Japanese Canadian evacuation and internment. Naomi was involved in the movement for reparation from the Canadian government for the forcible relocation and confiscation of property of Japanese Canadians during World War II. As Naomi went through her painful experiences during her childhood, she realizes the importance her cultural identity. Naomi makes a comment to her aunt, Obasan, "...today, finally, though we can hardly believe it, to be Canadian means what it hasn't meant before. Reconciliation. Liberation. Belongingness. Home" (P.277) and reminiscent the tough past that she had to face during World War II. Japanese Canadians were mistreated because of their racial background, as Japanese Empire was the enemy of Canada during World War II. While Naomi was evacuated and relocated from their own land and her mother, the youth of her life was ruined and memories of her pain are reflected on this quote, "There was a silence ...

  • 6. Essay on The Japanese-Canadian World War II Experience The Japanese–Canadian World War II Experience (Website) http://japanese –canadians.weebly.com/ Note to Mr. Mungar To communicate the contributions of Japanese–Canadians during the Second World War, I invented a character named Akira to illustrate the experiences of an average Japanese person growing up in Canada. Introduction: Early Japanese Immigrants to Canada Japanese people have had a very vivid history in Canada. Before 1868, it was illegal for Japanese citizens to leave the country, but with a change in government in the 1870s, they were encouraged to travel overseas to earn money and learn skills that they could bring home, as Japan in the early 20th century did not hold a lot of opportunity, especially in rural areas. In... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There was already widespread anti–Asian feelings in British Columbia to begin with, so the increased immigration was even less welcoming by the British majority in Canada. The Japanese faced legislated racism, unfair living and working conditions, and a population that wanted them gone. The formation of the Asiatic Exclusion League was a result of this racism, as Asians in general were seen as a threat to white Canadians' jobs and cultures. Eventually, the Japanese immigrants gained their independence and economic strength. They saved enough money to buy their own fishing boats and farms, and had success with fish–packing, construction, retail, lumber, and boat building businesses. Some started their own fishing and farming cooperatives. World War I broke out on July 28, 2914, dragging Canada in with her British mother land. Although Japanese –Canadians were not allowed to enlist in British Columbia, they were accepted in every other part of Canada. In 1917, Akira's father travelled to Alberta and enlisted, joining the 196 Japanese men who did the same. By the end of the war, 54 Japanese–Canadians died fighting for Canada. World War I played a significant role for many Japanese–Canadians to winning the vote. After more than two decades after the war, surviving World War I veterans finally won this right in 1931. The Japanese Canadian Citizens League was formed in 1936 to fight for Canadian citizenship and get the vote for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Obasan Joy Kogawa Analysis Obasan, written by, Joy Kogawa, is a novel that highlights the experiences of the Canadian Japanese residents during WW2. Inspired to write based on her personal experience, Kogawa does an amazing job in displaying the hardships that the Japanese Canadian's had gone through. Two of the major themes that I believe arise in the novel are, silence and memory. At first, Obasan appears as a novel that tells people about the dangers of silence and it comes as a warning to the readers about the consequences of remaining quiet. Naomi's family is displayed as a humble quiet family that accepts the Canadian governments rules and regulations. Yet, their humbleness doesn't make their experience any better than the rest of the Japanese residents. Rather,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Silence protects Obasan from the greater society. Obasan hears less and says little, making her immune in a way to the racist remarks and thoughtless comments that surround her. Rough Lock Bill, who's one of the most admirable characters within the novel actually praises Naomi for her silence. Bill states that excessive talking is often self–centred. His words are very crucial and hold a lot of weight because apart from Naomi's family, Bill is the only white trustworthy adult in Naomi's life. Memory is needed in order to form a sense of individuality. Without memory, civilizations would not be able to progress and expand. In the novel, Obasan, we get to see that based on memory, there's a spectrum that is formed. On one side, we have Uncle and Obasan who believe that the past remains there. On the other end is aunt Emily, she believes that only by discussing and expressing past events we can ensure that they never happen again and that these events mark a place in history. Right in the middle of the spectrum, I would say is where Naomi falls. Naomi is confused between her past and thinking that reminiscing about it will only hurt ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

In the world, there are about 200 countries in total, meaning that there are some similarities and differences in their specific government. If one was to pick out two different countries and compare its types of leadership, one might get a different result than other. Ever heard this quote by Tom Robbins, "Our similarities bring us to a common ground; our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other?"

However, both the Queen the Governor General and the Lieutenant General have purely symbolic titles, doing nothing other than handing out medals, cutting ribbons, attending banquets and more.

The Legislative branch is made up of the Senate and the House of Commons. The Senate amends or rejects bills made by the House of Commons. The House of Commons debates issues makes bills and represents the public. The members are the Senators and the Members of the House of Commons. The last branch is the Executive branch, which is made up of the Queen, the Prime Minister ( The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau), the Cabinet, and the Governor General. It is also composed of the symbolic, political and permeant work together to create the government. The government is divided into three levels: Federal, Provincial, and Municipal.

  • 9. Essay on Japanese Internment in Canada The core of the Japanese experience in Canada lies in the shameful and almost undemocratic suspension of human rights that the Canadian government committed during World War II. As a result, thousands of Japanese were uprooted to be imprisoned in internment camps miles away from their homes. While only a small percentage of the Japanese living in Canada were actually nationals of Japan, those who were Canadian born were, without any concrete evidence, continuously being associated with a country that was nothing but foreign to them. Branded as "enemy aliens", the Japanese Canadians soon came to the realization that their beloved nation harboured so much hate and anti–Asian sentiments that Canada was becoming just as foreign to them as ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The initial reaction to Pearl Harbor was to take cautious emergency actions to avert civil unrest. Soon, the Canadian government passed the War Measures Act. It gave permission to intern all undesirable Japanese, tie up every Japanese–owned fishing boat in British Columbia, close all Japanese language schools, forbid the publishing of newspapers in Japanese, and seize all Japanese property. All of which were subsequently carried out. In 1941, there were twenty–three thousand five hundred Japanese persons in Canada, residing mainly on the coast of British Columbia. Of that, six thousand seven hundred were Canadian born, seven thousand were naturalized citizens, and the rest were nationals of Japan. However, nothing could make any difference. To the typical, white British Columbian, the Japanese were all lower–class citizens. Five hours after the attack on Pearl Harbour, forty–eight Japanese planes bombed Hong Kong where two Canadian battalions were stationed, and were inflicted with heavy casualties. The "problem" of the resident Japanese in British Columbia was then quickly set into the mainstream focus. Prior to declaring war on Japan, Mackenzie King had stated that the "enemy country" had "wantonly and treacherously" attacked British territory, and that "Japan's actions [were] a threat to the defence and freedom of Canada." ...

  • 10. Silence : Silence And Silence Because Naomi hears no response and only silence accompanies her relentlessly. So she growing up in solitude and silence, Naomi loses the ability to communicate with others and the silence became part of her life. "The language of her grief is silence. She has learned it well, its idioms, its nuances, over the years, silence within her small body has grown large and powerful" (Kogawa 17). The silence grew within her, bringing difficulty to verbalize her suffering. Silence has become her way of expression, that dominant her actions. Naomi's quiet and reserved demeanor keeps her from informing others of her feelings or asking others for help. On multiple occasions, Old man Gower abuses Naomi, but she speaks nothing about the incidents because of fear. And she even does not know how to speak this thing. She feels that if she speaks, she "will split open and spill out. To be whole and safe, [she] must hide in the foliage, odorless as a newborn fawn, but already the lie grows like a horn, an unfurled fiddlehead fist, through the soft fontanelle of [her] four–year–old mind" (Kogawa 76). Keeping this incident to herself causes trauma. Old man Gower makes Naomi live through miserable trauma without a voice to utter her suffering: "The novel depicts the plight of a child who does not know and cannot tell" (Cheung 131). On the other hand, Aunt Emily's hidden package appears, also become another puzzle to Naomi because she cannot read Japanese. This package has been hidden in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Why Did The Canadian Government Apologize To Japanese... History Essay Outline Question: Why did the Canadian government apologize to Japanese Canadians in 1988? Thesis: The reason as to why the Canadian Government apologized to Japanese Canadians, was for the internment and POW camps the Japanese were placed in making them endure pain and suffering, discrimination, and losing everything, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Argument 1: Once the Canadian government rounded up Japanese citizens, they faced pain and suffering through out their time in internment camps. Fact 1: Japanese Canadians face pain and suffering almost immediately.

Ever since a man named Manzo Nagano, stepped ashore in 1877 at New Westminster, white settlers in BC tried to exclude people whom they considered to be "undesirable" (James H.

BC politicians were furious and proceeded to speak of the Japanese like Nazi Germany would talk about Jewish Germans, Escott Reid, a Canadian Diplomat said, "when they spoke I felt... the physical presence of evil" (James H. Marsh Japanese Internment: Banished beyond tears) Even at the end of the war, McKenzie King continued to bow to the most strident demands of the politicians and citizens he represented.

  • 12. Japanese vs. Canadian Schools Individuality and Interdependence: a Comparison of the North American and Japanese Educational Systems The comparison between Japanese and North American educational systems is often used. The Japanese system, along with other Asian cultures, places importance on the group and the interdependence of its members (Cole & Cole, 2001, p. 541). The North American model, in contrast, focuses on the ideals of individuality and independence (Cole & Cole, 2001, p.541). This contrast is due to a conflicting cultural/social structure and outlook of the world. Japanese look at the development of self as doubled sided: the inner self and the social or public self (Hoffman, 2000, p.307). Within the Japanese education system, the teacher's goal is to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The ability to distinguish and make shifts between the social and private domain is considered the mark of a mature child and individual (Hoffman, 2000, p.307). The North American educational system values the unified self (Hoffman, 2000, p.307). Its culture does not place value on two distinguished layers, but instead emphasizes the importance of communication. North American individualism places importance on the development of self as an individual independent of others. The two layers of Japanese self allows for Japanese children to think one way and act another, something a person in North American culture would consider fake or untrue to one's self. The North American system places value on revealing your true self and communicating your true feelings as an individual. Children can question things and express themselves freely. Within the educational system, children are encouraged to speak openly and freely, without retrain. This openness is reflective of the type of adult the education system hopes to develop within each child. These are the frameworks for each system. After reflecting on the three schools in Japan and the one here in Canada where I worked, it is interesting to note how these ideals actually took form within these schools. In Japan, the teachers expressed concerns for the future of their system. In terms of class discipline, where teachers traditional rely on the social structure within the school to control the class, teachers are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 13. The Internment Of Japanese-Canada The internment of Japanese–Canadians was not only cruel but also immoral in a multitude of ways. In the Second World War, Japanese –Canadians were seen as enemies despite being mostly naturalized or born in Canada (Suigman 52). The internment served to protect Canadian citizens in the West Coast, however, it achieved nothing. The internment of Japanese–Canadians was not justified because the hardships faced were the result of racial prejudice as seen through the justifications for the cruel camps, the dispossession of property and the silencing Japanese culture for decades. The internment of Japanese–Canadians was immoral because of the racist justification leading to the poor conditions in the camps. Japanese–Canadians were regarded with suspicion during World War 2, due to the attacks at Pearl Harbour and the distrust that Caucasian people possessed. As a result of blatant racial prejudice, symbols for Japanese–Canadians of the Second World War would consist of the stench of manure in Hastings Park, white shirts with a red circle, lack of space, loss of privacy, one suitcase and a 24–hour notice (Suigman 63). Families would be separated and men were prohibited from seeing their wives and children at Hastings Park (Sunahara 50). Hastings Park was a facility where Japanese–Canadians were held and where men would later be dispersed to work at road camps (Sunahara 50). The conditions here were worse for women.

  • 15. The Effects Of Colonialism In Monkey Beach By Eden... Canada has been well regarded with its attitude towards multiculturalism, establishing an Act that protects the rights of people who have different beliefs and the encouragement for all cultures to work together. While being the only country to have a policy such as the Multiculturalism Act, racism has been a part of Canadian history, including but not limited to the colonialism of Indigenous Peoples and the internment of Japanese Canadians. The effects of colonialism on indigenous culture and the treatment of Japanese Canadians are reflected in the novels Monkey Beach by Eden Robinson and Obasan by Joy Kogawa. The main characters of the novels, Lisamarie in Monkey Beach and Naomi in Obasan, both come to terms with the effects of growing up in minority communities in British Columbia, as well as discovering their own identities, by reflecting on their pasts during a time of family tragedies. Lisamarie struggles with accepting and understanding her spirituality in a family that mostly ignores and denies their connections to the spirituality of their ancestors, due to the effects of colonialism and residential schools. Naomi reflects on her family being removed from their homes and the racism that the Japanese faced after the Pearl Harbour attack. Robinson and Kogawa use their protagonists to look back to the past and reflect on the events that have shaped their families. Lisamarie discovers how spirituality and relationships have been molded due to the colonialism and the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Therefore, if you're attempting to work out the rate between the U.S. greenback (USD) and therefore the Japanese yen (JPY), the forex quote would seem like this: USD/JPY = 119.50 This is brought up as a currency combine. The currency to the left of the slash is that the base currency, whereas the currency on the proper is named the quote or counter currency. the bottom currency (in this case, the U.S. dollar) is often adequate one unit (in this case, US$1), and therefore the quoted currency (in this case, the japanese yen) is what that one base unit is resembling within the alternative currency. The quote means US$1 = 119.50 Japanese yen. In alternative words, US$1 should purchase 119.50 Japanese yen. The forex quote includes the currency abbreviations for the currencies in question.

  • 18. Examples Of Race And Racism "Where is Race and Racism?" Quite notably suitable for the first chapter analyzed by Dr. Merle A. Jacobs. As an intro to the book, Race In–Equity, Intersectionality, Social Determinants of Health and Equity, this question is subsequently brought up, however, no one knows it's true origins. This course Health and Equity, directed by Dr. Merle A. Jacobs gives a clear direction on how it possibly came to be, and it is this: "racism is socially constructed". It is a belief conjured up in today's society and has been embedded throughout the origins of Canada. In this essay I seek to outline the underlining problems of Canada and how race is socially constructed. It will seek to break down the major minorities examined in this text, most notably the Indigenous People of Canada, Japanese Canadians and the "African" Americans. It aims to highlight that the problems stem from the social determinants of health: the physical environment, child development, and income and status. The essay will prove that "integration" and "segregation" are the same word in a Canadian "alienated" world. Whereby, people are taught to be "Canadians" by being separated by its norms and practices, it's culture and henceforth, the people "different" will lose their cultural identity and will be forced into sharing the same beliefs as their white counterparts. This essay will provide aids on how, and whereby, policies and laws need to be rectified, in order to have a concrete solution and not a temporarily relief for problems manifesting in today's society. Canada is well–known to be rich in resources yet fails to equally distribute them. In Canada it is well known to have one of the biggest bodies of fresh–clean drinking water and fertile land, rich in oil and gas, copper, and nickel, but why is it that so few have so little? According to the "Globe and Mail's research; "[...] [they] found that one–third of First Nations had systems that were at medium or high risk of producing unsafe water, according to INAC's assessment criteria." (Feb 21, 2017)" (Jacobs & Ouedraogo, 2017, p. 39). Aboriginals or the Indigenous people of Canada are one of the few minorities that were a testament to the unruly predecessor of Canadian Culture.

Both in other countries and in the US before, some semblance of reparations have transpired. After the Second World War, both the United States and Canada enacted legislation for reparations for the interned Japanese –Americans and Japanese–Canadians (Wood).

  • 27. Canada's Currency And Its Effect On The Economy Canada's currency has followed a similar movement to oil prices. In the decade before the oil price boom, Canada's currency was never worth more than $0.75 when measured in American dollars. It declined in the late 90s and early 2000s and in August of 2002 was worth just $0.625 US. it rose greatly in the next five years–reaching a peak of $1.10 US in November 2007. Like oil, it has fallen since then but, has not reached levels seen in the 1990s. Today, Canadian–American exchange rate is still $0.91 and is projected to rise when oil prices do so(Bank of Canada) EVIDENCE As stated in the theoretical model developed by economists W. Max Cordon and J. Peter Neary, two factors must be present to diagnose Dutch Disease in an economy. First, a resource boom must be responsible for a rise in real exchange rates. Second, the appreciation of exchange rates must have a harmful effect on the output of the manufacturing sector. The following sections will explore research conducted on both these issues. Relationship between Commodity Prices and the Canada–US Exchange Rate From plotting the exchange rate against movements in the WTI spot price below, we can see there is evidence that the two are correlated. Oil prices have not been the only influence on exchange rates however.

The first reason is that most of the Japanese Canadians were born in Canada and had little to no connection to Japan. This meant that they were not able to spy for the Japanese whom were an enemy with Canada at the time. It also meant that the Japanese Canadians were unable to help Japan strategize an attack against Canada due to the fact that they were unaware of what Japan had been up to. Another reason is that, the Japanese Canadians were fighting against their own ethnicity to serve Canada. They risked their lives fighting a war against Japan because they believed that they were Canadian. Finally, the Japanese had no suspicious activity going on indicating that ...

  • 30. Analysis Of Obasan By Joy Kogawa In Obasan, Joy Kogawa explores a woman's past through conflict, themes of silence and prejudice presenting her traumatic story in an unthreatening manner suggesting it is possible to heal from trauma. Obasan is a powerful novel written through the perspective of Naomi Nakane, who is the protagonist of the novel. The novel's core is based on the memories and experiences of Naomi. The setting is WesternCanada and the novel goes back and forth between 1972 and World War II during the internment of Japanese –Canadians. Kogawa presents Naomi's story in an unthreatening manner as a way to bring recognition of the horrific events in Canadian past as Karpinski argues that, "Obasan deliberately presents itself as unthreatening ...Constantly facing the risk of provoking a potentially defensive and hostile reaction among white Canadian readers" (54). Obasan centres around the conflicts of the Japanese Canadian internment and the emotional, physical, and hardships that fell on the Japanese during and after the war. Kogawa conveys that past events can impact an individual's life due to the traumatizing memories and cause them to feel conflicted, but it is possible for them to heal from such trauma. For instance, one of Naomi's earliest traumatic memories was when she was molested by Old Man Gower, a family friend of hers. When she recalls the vivid images of Old Man Gower sexually abusing her, she claims that it was "unthinkable to be held by [such] force" (67–68). Naomi cannot even bear ...

The great depression of 1930s was more devastating on the Canadian prairies than other regions of Canada. It impacted badly on economy, social organization, and politics of the Prairie region. Various factors such as lowwheat prices in the international market, fall of export markets during the depression, insufficient financial investments lowered the economy of the Prairie region. The economic and political situation worsened in the British Columbia during the Depression as well as after the World War II. The Prairie West depended on the farming as their main occupation while British Columbia depended on forestry, mining and fishing.

The Japanese Canadians cannot simply change the color of their skin or who they are due to something others are responsible for, and not the responsibility of them individually. The discrimination that Japanese Canadians faced psychologically damaged the brains and had isolated them from the rest of the world because they were categorized as inadequate individuals. Japanese Canadians were being stereotyped as "enemy aliens" even though they had not done anything which would harm anyone. According to (Marsh, 2012), during 1943, Alberta needed workers, but refused to hire the Japanese, some of the Alberta farmers that did hire Japanese workers crowded them into small shacks, and cheated them of their wages. This negatively impacted the money of the Japanese Canadians earned for survival, and it also interfered with their well–being and health. According to the National Museum of American History in 1943 every resident in the internment camps were required to complete one of two questionnaires misleadingly entitled "Application for Leave Clearance" to distinguish whether they were "loyal" or "disloyal".

Years after the war ended, in 1988, Ottawa provided twelve million dollars as compensation to National Association of Japanese Canadians (Mollins, 1999). However, this amount was not enough to repair the economic hardships that Japanese Canadians underwent, because their sufferings did not end when the war ended. Japanese Canadians came back from the internment camps, only to find out that their properties were either stolen or publicly sold. Even though the money from the sales was kept by Custodian of Enemy Alien Property and held in account under the owner's name, there was no interest and only limited amount of money, hundred dollars per month, was allowed to be taken out by the owner. Moreover, the law did not allow the Japanese Canadians to work if they had money in their account (Hickman & Fukawa, 2011). This prevented Japanese Canadians from building their financial status and getting involved in Canadian economic for many years.

This was because the Canadian Army saw little action in the early years of the Second World War, therefore their army was small and unprepared. The two battalions sent to Hong Kong were quickly filled with new, inexperienced troops to fulfil Britain's request. The force, including 1,973 officers and men along with two nurses were then shipped across the Pacific, under the command of Brigadier J.K. Lawson. It arrived in Hong Kong on November 16, joining the military garrison of about 14,000. These new troops had many members who had a total of less than 5 weeks of training. Furthermore, many soldiers were still teenagers, the youngest being 16 years old. The reason for sending unprepared soldiers to the British Colony was due to the assumption that there would be time to go through advanced training. Unfortunately, the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles ofCanada weren't subjected to enough combat training before the invasion occurred. As a result the soldiers were "insufficiently trained and not recommended for [the] operation." The amount of training troops obtained before the defense of Hong Kong was minimal as one soldier said, "30 days training[...] But I never fired a shot till I got to Hong Kong." In addition, Bob Jessop, a veteran, remembered one recruit asking him how to load a rifle and others report of soldiers who threw grenades without removing the pin.
