Have the children and or grandchildren of the Japaneese leaders from the 1930's and 1940's apoloized for WWII? Just asking
The border of a feeling.
Sensibility is
to watch in
the garden a
luminous light

Robert Maul:
You miss the point. Japanese CANADIANS were interned and their property stolen — without even a hint of complicity with Japanese nationals.
The question I have is: why wasn't the property of the Japanese CANADIANS put into trust, pending guilt or innocence? That it wasn't points directly to the real intent, namely out-and-out thievery by Canadian (white) citizens, with the complicity of the Canadian government.
A "heartfelt" apology by Lyin' Brian was cheap redress indeed - and therefore meaningless. A proper apology would have been restoration of confiscated properties, regardless of who it "inconvenienced" in this day-and-age.
