If this video is accurate then Japanese Canadians were treated much worse than their interned Japanese American counterparts who were treated quite badly too but not nearly as badly as their Japanese Canadian counterparts. Yet the truth is that in any human society the oligarchy, the powers that be if you like, are never bound by the "rule of law" if enough of them agree to violate the law for some agreed purpose. Usually the powers that be don't totally agree how things should be run and have factions and rivalries among them. And who these shadowy powers that be are is always in flux. 500 years ago in Europe the powers that be were the most powerful noblemen and today in the West they are the most powerful giant corporations and billionaires. But one thing that never changes is that when enough of them agree they can do awful things with impunity. They can even commit crimes that would send anyone else to prison if there is sufficient consensus among the powers that be that such crimes should be committed under the circumstances. To be fair (here I digress for one more paragraph but it's important) not all oligarchies are equally malign, far from it. But in all human societies there is always a small group of people "at the top of the food chain." And their mission is always to manipulate, rob, and subjugate all but themselves lest some rival group of people turn out to be "higher on the food chain" and do the same to them. Nor do any oligarchs feel guilty about abusing their mostly fashion driven drone subjects when they do abuse them. Everyone isn't a "fashion driven drone" of course, but remember that people who aren't a social fit tend to be fired or forced to resign from their jobs and tend to have few if any dating options. So most people conform to the local social culture to fit in and then lie to themselves and tell themselves they think they act thoughtfully when in fact they are just following the crowd to fit in. And unfortunately no successful revolution ever created a society without an unelected oligarchy. All any successful revolution ever accomplished was to replace one oligarchy with another one, and often an even much more malign and vicious one. In the United States the powers that be interned Japanese Americans in Hawaii and on the American west coast on the pretext that a Japanese invasion of those areas might be imminent (despite a total lack of evidence that any such invasion was at all likely). In the U.S. the pretext for interning American citizens of Japanese origin was that they were in a "military zone" without permission (and never mind if that so called military zone was also their home). Thus large numbers of Japanese Americans lost homes and businesses for failure to pay taxes (while they were interned) and they or their living direct descendants would have to wait roughly 50 years to be compensated to the tune of roughly $20,000 each. But as unjust as this internment was, with no evidence of any disloyalty whatsoever on the part of these American citizens, the death rate in the camps where they were interned was the same as the death rate for the general American population. These American citizens were not free but they were at least adequately fed, housed, and clothed in stark contrast to Allied POWs in the Pacific where roughly one American in four never returned home from Japanese captivity. But things change. So two years later, in 1944 with Japan being smashed in the Pacific, the same oligarchs who had arranged for the internment of these American citizens were now asking "why are we paying to feed and house these people (paraphrasing)?" as if they were their benefactors. Thus most Japanese Americans were released during 1944 though without any apology or financial compensation for having unjustly had everything taken from them. Finally and belatedly in 1944 most Japanese Americans were freed from their internment camps. Yet despite this interment of American citizens in Hawaii and on the American west coast, in most of the United States since no one could seriously argue that any Japanese invasion of those parts of the U.S. was imminent, Japanese Americans in most of the U.S. were left alone. Tens of thousands of Japanese Americans even served honorably in the U.S. military in places like North Africa and Europe in World War II sometimes even with great distinction. There were no smartphones and it's very likely that most of those Japanese Americans were not even aware that other Japanese Americans had been illegally interned despite their theoretical due process rights. Depending on where their regiments were based a few Japanese Americans in places like Texas were even deployed to the Pacific to fight the Japanese although generally Japanese Americans who served the United States in World War II were deployed to fight the Germans, not the Japanese. Law Professors frequently present these internments as shameful "aberrations" in our "democracy." But again, such outrages are far from aberrations. That's why the American Declaration of Independence speaks of mock trials for murderers of American colonists and of colonists being taken far away to be tried for pretended offenses. It's the oldest trick in the book and it can happen to anyone anywhere even today if enough of the powers that be agree for whatever reason that it is a good idea.
Excellent production, keep them up!
Becuase people should get jobs based on genitals...okay
🇨🇦 We read on Remembrance Day. They shall not grow old, as we are left to grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
Well it was not as easy as all that 7000 men died in Holland ! They layy in the mud and freezing cold for months and if they lifted thier head they got a bullet between the eyes,by the nazi who sat in cncrete bukers that were warmed by coal burning stoves. The Canadians lay in the mud and water all day, untill night came, just to get a cup of tea ! They stayed there untill spring until the brits decided to bomb the bunkers on the top of the dykes ! Then when the nazi were weaker Canada attacked ! And when the Canadains entered the towns, the Duth waved and smiled, thinking the Yanks had rescued them ! So we formed up a made camp outside of town. That little show you saw on film was made for the yanks, not us ! Mike, Canada . And when we got to the dragons teeth at the German border we were used as decoys by the yanks. We were used as decoys to go over the hills ! 9000 canadians died tryig to get over the hills, while the nazi picked us off one at a time ! Meanwhile the yanks snuk around behind and attacked thier rear, while we stayed stuck on the top of the hills. Yanks took all the glory for that one also ! 9000 canadians died More than any other battle in WW2 Mike.
Romeo Dellere is a liar and a coward ! When Canada was in the war in AFgaghnistan he was caught on a runway with a Bumbudy sunbathing, while the rest of the Allies were in the war room ploting out thier next course of action! The media asked why he was not in the war room ? He told them to go away and turned his back on them ! I wouldn't listen to anything that comes out of that guys mouth ! Mike.
I thought tanks didn’t appear until a few months after the Somme?
The Netherlands was liberated and then they immediately tried to re-occupy and re-colonized Indonesia.
My great grandfather Alcedor survived Dieppe. He was EOD.
I watched this video after watching a couple videos about how well German POW's were treated in Canada during WW2. In many cases the German prisoners ate better than local residents as the Canadian government bent over backwards to meet conditions of the Geneva Convention. This video on internment of Canadian citizens of Japanese descent brought me to tears.
My Dad was shot on the beach and I do have the pic of him on a stretcher on the beach to prove it No one has ever asked me for it. He then went on to 3 different camps. Which I am still trying to find info on Luckily he came home with his brothers and I came along 15 yrs later. Sadly we lost him 16 yrs ago due to Alzheimer's
I guess the Canadians hadn’t heard of Murphy’s Law!
Dallaire turned into a peacenik.
I am reading North American Indians for the second time and it was devastating!
My dad was RCAF is WW2...spent the war on RCAF crash boats out of Jericho patrolling from Vancouver to Nome Alaska....
The VA sucks.
I met mayann francis and i have an autograph from her 🙏
My Dad came to Canada after WW2, he was a Merchant Navy vet. While working at Orenda Engines he met Zeke McCandless, a former HK POW. Zeke couldn't really relate to the European Theatre vets but could relate to my Dad, as he once said to him, you know what we went through because you went through it too. Zeke would flashback to the POW camp and they would fetch my Dad to talk with him, to calm him down. One snowy winter's eve, Zeke, Dad and a couple of guys got their car stuck in a snow bank while trying to get it out, Zeke fell backwards, struck his head on the curb and passed away that night.
forgive yes, but will never forget the Dutch invasion of Indonesia
After Netherland independent liberate, Netherland invasion indonesia, the pain of Indonesia's suffering
Apparently Dieppe Raid Was Concived and planned After W Churchill's 1st meeting with Starlin on What the british would be doing in there plans against the German forces.. Churchill would Say Air raids across Germany and taken on Rommel in north Africa, etc.. Planning of the Dieppe raid would full to Two high ranking Officer's, One being L Mountbatten. The ill-fated raid was never fully Supported or Cleared by the War Cabinet and So with Mountbatten's Connections with the royal family he would be always have the full backing in the Aftermouth of the Dieppe failure from Winston Churchill..
God Bess Them All.
My grandpa died in Italy. He was American. Someone in his platoon stepped on a land mine and it killed everyone except for one person.
In the middle of the battle for Ortona, the Canadians were rotated for Christmas dinner in a church court yard.
I sing this every year at the town memorial service. I still have trouble not bursting into tears. My great uncle lost his life in WWI.
My dog is named Tecumseh he’s named after the Shawnee Chief from Ohio
IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the Crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn. saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved. and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from falling hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. BY LT. COL. JOHN McCRAE. Of MONTREAL. WHOSE BODY LIES IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
LT. COL. John McCRAE of Montreal, his body also lies “IN FLANDERS FIELDS”! 🥲❤️🙏🏽

It should NOT have taken 80 + years for Canadians to hear these stories, but, how many even now have any idea of Canada's massive part during World War 2. -- Thank you very much for this presentation, too short but still awesomely done.
2:18 BLUE BEACH 2:33 GREEN BEACH 2:43 RED AND WHITE BEACH
It makes me proud to have worn the airforce blue uniform and been a small part of such a great service to our country. The youth we trained have gone on to fulfill their aspirations and our hope for their futures. Good work all.
Thank you to All the Veterans that landed at Dieppe 🙏 🇨🇦
Tecumseh killed many in battle but forbad his warriors from torturing and mistreating captives.
Mr. Aykroyd, not a bad effort for such a short video. However, I think that a more accurate title would be something along the lines of “The Canadians in the Fight for Italy”. Also, I disagree that the Allies thought it would be an easy fight. I’m currently reading a history of it now and read other history books about the Italian campaign and none of them say or imply that the allies thought it would be easy. Just the opposite. The Ultra decrypts as well as other intel info clearly showed the allies that the Germans were reinforcing their armies in Italy and preparing for a hard fight. Also, Italy was a defender’s dream with too many rugged mountains, too many rivers and weather that was miserable all year long, going from very cold, wet, snowy winters, hot dry summers and malaria infested areas that incapacitated thousands of soldiers. Good to have the Canadian efforts spotlighted. Thanks
He was my family too💔
