Description: Documents what happened to Japanese Canadians on the West Coast in the year 1941 - voluntary registration; impounding and sale of property, a curfew, confiscation of cars, cameras and radios, and cheap labour camps. 23,000 Japanese Canadians were subject to these terms. In 1944, deportation proceedings were started, even though these people were born in Canada. Today, so far as the investigation has been able to show, the War Measures Act, 1941 was inflicted upon a totally innocent population.-
