Sure Mulroney gave some cash to people whose families were held even after the war was over, but what about those Canadians of Japanese descent who decided to return to Japan, which was bombed into complete submission? What do peace-loving Canadians feel about that? Should Canada apologize to Japan for its actions during WWII? It might teach the Japanese how to apologize for something at least!

I'm not a fan of the political apology. They tend to be ineffective and unsatisfactory. Everyone gets screwed over at some point in history, and trying to apologize for the actions of one's ancestors always seems hollow.

That said, I don't think Canada has much to apologize for with regards to WWII. I'm not familiar with specific cases, but in times of war, it makes sense that people will die, property will be destroyed, and someone will get the shaft.

Are you asking what we think about people who left Canada to fight with Japan against the UK, the commonwealth and Canada? If they left to return to Japan, I'd say they weren't Canadian to begin with.

I too disagree that we should apologize for our actions against Japan during WW2. It was Japan that invaded Manchuria in 1931 (it could be argued that this invasion was the first battle of the second world war, not the invasion of Poland in 1939) and killed hundreds of thousands in Nanking in 1937, It was also Japan that attacked Hong Kong and killed thousands of Canadian and Commonwealth Soldiers in 1941, I shouldn't have to state the obvious, the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbour also in 1941. Why should we say we are sorry for defending ourselves? We were attacked and we defended ourselves, the only nation that needs to apologize is Japan, they need to apologize for the treatment of POW's (Bataan Death March, executing POW's, failure to adhere to the Geneva convention, etc), for Nanking, for the widespread atrocities their troops committed, The appropriation of British subjects property and homes.

But thats just my two cents.

First of all, where do you get the concept of 'peace loving Canadians'? I smell an American fishing for trouble. Besides fighting against tyranny and oppression, what does Canada need to apologize for during WWII fighting against the Japanese? Starving to death in Japanese prison camps? Death marches? You sure you got your facts straight dummy?

So wait, you want us to apologize to traitors who openly
went to join the enemy against us ?

Fuck off already

He did apparently.

I don't think Japan needs an apology from Canada.

In WWII, we were a mosquito bite to Japan.

Not a very respectful attittude to the Canadian soldiers who died and survived Japanese POW camps after defending imperial interests in Asia.

You talking to me? I meant by perspective.

As in, we didn't test nukes on two of their cities.

[QBC]

We have nothing to apologize for.

No apology from them would suffice for what they did as a nation at that time.
