As well, I wonder when we're going to apologize to interned Italian and German Canadians during WW2, as well as to immigrants from Europe and Asia who were forced to abandon their foreign citizenship when they entered the country, particularly in the 1950s. I'm sure there's other transgressions too.
Not to take away from this tragic episode, but if we're exorcising Canada's demons, we may as well account for all of them.

I'm sure we would if those affected by the other incidents made enough noise about it. I've never even heard of the Italian and German internments.
