Japanese citizens weren't like in Canada since many were jealous of them. They were good at fishing, farming and even in school. After the japan horrible actions in the rape of Nanking, many resented and bullied them. Their treatment of the soldier in the battle of Hong Kong was the last straw, Canada sent innocent Japanese Canadians to internment camps.

The battle of Hong in WW2 was a battle between Canada and Britain and its colony India against Japan. However, Japan outnumbered the Canadians and Britons and after only 17 days the Japanese won. They broke internal law by attacking without waging war on Britain and torturing the captured soldiers and unlucky nurses and doctors who were present in the battle.

Dear Aaliyah

It's been a while since the last time we heard from each other, not to fret though I would be giving an earful to account for all the time we miss talking to each other. Around 5 years you supported me when I was in a bad place and I have never been able to repay you since, it sometimes makes me question who the older sibling is. I know mom and dad will be proud of you. It has been great recently with me getting my second child and your boyfriend proposing. Sadly, I can’t help but feel guilty that we are here having a great time when the second great war is happening. I fear Hitler and Germany might even take over the world. However, we blacks aren't allowed to join the war, unlike our predecessors in the No.2 battalion. After hearing about the horrible things the Japanese did to the Chinese in the battle of Hong Kong and how they treated the captured Canadians, I was mad and disgusted with them. However, they were suddenly all sent to a camp. After being bullied by fellow Canadians, I can't help but feel bad for them. Even though what the Japanese did was wrong, these were Canadians, not Japanese, they didn’t have anything to do with that battle. I know my opinion would have been different if one of my loved ones were the people captured in Hong Kong. Even so, one of my friends was Japanese, and he was a second-generation Canadian with citizenship that got mad when hearing what his fellow countrymen did. He even went as far as trying to join the war, but instead, he was detained and robbed of all his property and money after being sent into some camp with other Japanese people. The war just keeps bringing about more and more tragedies. I wish it would end already. All I could do to support my fellow Canadians was wish them luck. I feel helpless, but there is nothing we can do except pray this war ends soon.

Sincerely, your big brother Henry Terrel

The 20s were a place where inventions were made such as radios, irons, bathing suits e.t.c. and a time when women stood up against the stereotype that was placed on them as Victorian women. It was where people could buy more and first encourage them to. Many people wanted these inventions and dreamed of affording radios or colour cars.

Montreal became a popular place since its prohibition laws were lax. Many people enjoyed the jazz, drinks and showgirls that were frequent in the place. A lot of people become showgirls either because they need money or they like singing and dancing. It was a place that had a vibrant black community that helped people of colour to be open and creative.

Around this time a popular occupation for black males was a sleeping car porter. Since not many wanted to hire a person of color, many smart and talented people were forced to get a job as porters. They had  horrible work conditions and pay that didn’t reward them for their effort. However, it was one the better jobs a black man could get at the time.

I finally got a job after getting fired suddenly in my last job as a sleeping car porter. Even though I hated my job because of the low pay and long hours. Along with people disrespecting me and walking over my identity by calling me, George. It feels good to not be supported by my little sister and family anymore. How I wish the great depression will end already. Most of my friends lost their jobs and even the whites are struggling. It is truly a hard time to be alive. Just thinking about my sister working harder in her job to support herself and me, is just amazing. More so when her job is a showgirl in Montreal. After hearing stories of how hard it was to survive as a showgirl in the great depression, makes me respect her even more. I spent these past 3 weeks looking for a job and spending time with my family. Which I am happy I don't have to do anymore. I love my family and spending time with them felt like healing after being treated badly in my job. However, I felt guilty for making them support me. When they were struggling, I worked hard to find a job. This was hard because most weren't hiring. Luckily I got a position in Montreal as a porter. Graduating medical school with good grades probably helped me. Even though I did get denied a job as a doctor because of my colour. Well, it still feels good to get a job again, now I can start saving to get a radio again. Just three more paydays and I can impress my family with it, I can't wait.

Dear Robert

I expect you are wondering why I Haven't written, but it was hard when your letter only came back 3 days ago. I couldn’t think of what to write to you so I just wrote what in the top of my head. Not to fret though, I have a feeling this letter will turn out great. I feel bad saying how I felt relieved when I heard all you do is manual labour, I know you wanted to do more for your country. However, I am happy just knowing there is a better chance of you coming back to us. At least you are being treated better than Urakian and German citizens. You should hurry to come home since Aaliyah recently learned how to walk and ever since she has been going all over the house in her little adventures. I am sure this news will make you sad even though you said you were prepared for this to happen. Henry has been doing great in school and is trying harder than ever. I think this is due to noticing how hard you are working for your family. Although, he does seem sad without his dad here. So please come home safely before you miss more moments in your children's childhood. Lastly, don’t worry about money, all we want is you to be here again. We all miss you and we are all proud of you. Please come back home safely soon before Aaliyah starts calling your little brother’s dad.

Sincerely, Irene Terrel

Dear Irene,
How are you and the kids doing? It's been almost a year since I joined the No.2 Construction Battalion. Even so, there hasn't been a day where I  didn't think about you and the children. How is Henry doing, is he still doing well in school? and how is Aaliyah my one-year-old princess doing? has she learned to speak? I can hardly wait till the day this war is over. Then I can finally start being a good dad, not to fret though, this is the war to end all wars. The whites said this was only their war, but I am happy they finally allowed us to join after a lot of rejections. I am sorry for not being a good husband. I could barely afford to take care of you and the family, but now thanks to the war I can contribute to helping the family more. I know you didn't support my decision to join the war saying it was too dangerous. Although, all we do is manual labour I am still happy I could help our family since not many would be happy to employ a man of colour. As a citizen of Canada, and father to Henry and Aaliyah, I had to join the war for the future of my children and beloved country. man.    Sincerely, Robert Terrel
