On this day, 14 January 1942, Canadian prime minister Mackenzie King ordered the removal of all adult males of Japanese descent from the country’s West Coast. The move, during World War II, was followed next month by the government approving a further order excluding all people of Japanese ancestry from 100 miles inland of the Pacific coast, breaking up families and sending 22,000 people to labour and internment camps. The ban would continue until 1949.
