Recognition and Reconciliation
During Canada's first national internment operations of 1914-1920 thousands of Ukrainians and other Europeans were branded as "enemy aliens", were forced to do heavy labour, had what little wealth they had confiscated, and lost their right to vote. They endured these indignities not because of anything they had done but only because of where they came from, who they were. My Bill C-331 -- The Ukrainian Canadian Restitution Act is now before the House of Commons. It calls upon the Government to recognize this injustice and, by making use of that portion of the internees' wealth that was never returned, to develop national commemorative and educational programs to ensure that no other ethnic, religious, or racial minority in Canada ever suffers as Ukrainian Canadians once did. I need your help. Please ask your MP to support Bill C-331 Thank you. Inky Mark, MP House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 I. Mark, M.P. / depute DAUPHIN -- SWAN RIVER -- MARQUETTE For more information on Bill C-331 and Canada's first internment operations go to www.uccla.ca |
