[edit] fun

I am researching history, and it is not fun.Thousands of Germans and other aliens were interned in 24 internment camps across Canada as a result of the War Measures Act, issuing into Canada's first national internment operations of 1914-1920. These enemy aliens not only suffered imprisonment but many thousands more were forced to carry identity documents and report regularly to the authorities. Those who were jailed were also subjected to various state-sanctioned censures, including restrictions on their freedom of movement, association and free speech and, in 1917, to disenfranchisement. The internment operations continued until June 1920, nearly 2 years after the end of the war. Since the mid-1980s the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association has called for an official recognition of the internment operations and a restitution of the contemporary value of the internees' confiscated wealth, those monies to be dedicated to various commemorative and educational projects.

[edit] NPOV

The entire WWI section of this article is a screed against the Canadian government. It should be sufficient to outline the facts of the 1914-1920 internment without loaded or otherwise non-neutral language. The opinions of those seeking redress, although more than likely valid, should not be considered encyclopedic content. Does anyone have thoughts on this? AidanBC 09:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree completely; this topic is covered neutrally and more completely in its own article: Ukrainian-Canadian internment. Since this is the War Measures Act page it should keep focused on the Act and what it was used for, and just link to where the further-reaching consequences are examined in more detail. (That's my two cents, anyway!) Arg 23:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• • Also agreed, the specific artile on Ukrainian-Canadian internment includes more neutral coverage, and is a better place for the specifics of that event, linked from the WWI War-measures page. Two more cents (ShawnB, Mississauga, ON)

Disagree. NPOV does not mean an obligation to present the government in a favourable light as if IT were neutral. The first internment camps IS significant and worthy of mention here. The same argument could be made that the details on the FLQ are irrelevant or NPOV. A major reason why the Act is significant and worthy of inclusion is because of how it is experienced by those it affects. That said, the article generally needs expanding and could read better. I think if that was done adequately, WWI wouldn't stand out so much as it does now.Bobanny 19:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] During October Crisis

In this article, it says at the request of montreal and quebec government, federal invoked the act. In the article Robert Bourassa, it says, "It was Pierre Trudeau who pushed the Premier of Quebec, Bourassa, to declare a state of emergency". which one is true? Jackzhp 13:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
