Trudeau apologises for internment of Italian Canadians in second world war

“To the men and women who were taken to prisoner of war camps or jail without charge; people who are no longer with us to hear this apology; to the tens of thousands of innocent Italian-Canadians who were labelled enemy aliens; to the children and grandchildren who have carried a past generation’s shame and hurt; and to their community – a community that has given so much to our country: we are sorry,” Trudeau said. Trudeau noted that the parents of Frank Iacobucci, a former justice of Canada’s supreme court, were among those labeled enemy aliens under a policy he said went against the values ​​that Canada had gone to war to defend.
