Japaner bosatta i Kanada deporteras 1942

Order in Council P.C. 1486, var ett direktiv utfärdat av de kanadensiska myndigheterna den 26 februari 1942. Direktivet innebar att alla japanska ("the Japanese race") medborgare i Kanada inte tilläts befinna sig inom en skyddad zon på 100 miles från den kanadensiska västkusten. Restriktionerna innebar även att "persons of Japanese racial origin" fråntogs egendom och tillgångar och somliga internerades i koncentrationsläger. Den 4 mars 1942 gavs cirka 22 000 japaner i Kanada 24 timmar att packa sina tillhörigheter innan de förflyttades från västkusten. En del av de manliga japanerna placerades i koncentrationsläger där de tvingades till arbete bland annat på vägar och gårdar. Därmed kom familjer att splittras. Custodian of Aliens tillät konfiskering och fall förekom där japaner togs ifrån sina bilar som myndigheterna sålde.

Premiärminister Brian Mulroney framförde 1988 en ursäkt till överlevarna som var och en gavs en kompensation på 21 000 CD.
