Japanese-Canadian men were detained in the Immigration Building at Vancouver Harbour from April 25, 1942 to May 20, 1942.
Near the end of their detainment there, they rioted.
As a result they were sent to Petawawa and later Angler.
Soon the camp became divided between young men who missed their families and hardliners who wanted to return to Japan.
It is this injustice that drives my political activism. Yet, in BC political protest is illegal unless you notify the authorities in advance.
