VOICED: Pearl Harbor's legacy lives on for Japanese-Canadians

The transcript recounts the experiences of Japanese Canadians during and after World War II. Following the Pearl Harbor attack, Canada implemented a policy that led to the internment of 22,000 Japanese Canadians, citing national security concerns. They faced harsh living conditions in camps, with families separated and belongings confiscated. After the war, they were given limited choices, either to stay away from the Pacific Coast or face deportation to Japan. It took 40 years for the Canadian government to issue an official apology for these actions.
