Canadian Government Compensations for Japanese Canadian Burials during World War IICanadian Government Compensations for Japanese Canadian Burials during World War II (restitution)No one would ever think that it is an apology and a meager amount of money. would be sufficient to compensate for the deprivation of freedoms and rights for several years. Apparently, this seems to be the case with the Canadian government. During World War II, Japanese immigrants and Japanese Canadians were denied their rights as human beings and Canadian citizens and were forced to live in internment camps (Baldwin, 2011). Although the Canadian government has become aware of its wrongdoings against Japanese Canadians and has attempted to repair them, the official apologies and compensation made by the Canadian government are not enough to atone for all the financial, social and psychological damage caused by anti-Japanese policies. caused during World War II. Japanese Canadians suffered financially due to the government's anti-Japanese policies, and their deficiencies were never proportionately repaired, even in the years following the war. As a result of anti-Japanese policies, Japanese Canadians lost their jobs and property, including their homes, motor vehicles, and fishing boats (Mollins, 1999). At the start of the war, due to hatred towards Japanese Canadians, many Japanese Canadian-owned businesses received very few customers and too much disruption; so they had to close their doors (Hickman & Fukawa, 2011). Additionally, almost all Japanese Canadians were fired from their jobs (Baldwin, 2011). This event was very predictable, as Japanese Canadians took over many jobs from Canadians and gained more control over the fishing industry in Britain...... middle of paper...... members. Most Japanese Canadians who suffered in the camps became more intimidating and had lower self-esteem. These horrific events caused Japanese Canadians to lose their confidence and dignity as Canadian citizens and as human beings. The serious birthright violations subsequently led to psychological problems among Japanese Canadians, which undoubtedly cannot be atoned for by insufficient apologies. In conclusion, the burials of Japanese Canadians during World War II left lifelong scars on Japanese Canadians by violating their rights to their property. , the right to build one's own social status and fundamental human rights. Therefore, in order for Canada to truly repay the wrongdoings it committed against Japanese Canadians, the government and people of Canada should issue a proper apology and pay them adequate compensation to cover all damages caused..
