feb 26, 1942 - About 22000 Canadians of Japanese descent are stripped

Description:

About 22000 Canadians of Japanese descent are stripped of non- portable possessions, interned and evacuated as security risks (Feb. 26). A national plebiscite approves amendment of the National Resources Mobilization Act to permit sending conscripts overseas (Apr. 27), once again revealing deep divisions between Québec and English Canada. The Dieppe raid (Aug. 19), Canada's first participation in the European theatre, is a disaster.
