World WarII Japanese Canadians

The Japanese Canadians werent treated well because Canada thought they were Japanese spies so they locked them up in camps during the world war.They were all forced to live in British Columbia unless they had a written permit for BC and if they were found they were liable to be killed.People in BC didnt feel safe in their homes so they asked Mackenzie King to move them.He said yes and made them all move 160km 'inland' so they could guard the pacific coast from the Japanese spies.They also made them live in internment camps.These internment camps had horrible conditions and they were cramped with lots of other Japanese people.They also had to do hard labour inside the internment camps.When something bad happened if the Japanese Canadians were around they got the blame if they did it or not.Canada also took away all of the Japanese fishing fleets in case they would escape and give away information.
