PM SAYS APOLOGY WILL `RIGHT WRONGS' TO ITALIAN-CANADIANS
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will issue a formal apology next month for the treatment of Italian-canadians during the Second World War. An estimated 600 Italian-canadian men were interned in camps in Canada after Italy allied with Germany and joined the war in 1940. Some 31,000 other Italian-canadians were declared enemy aliens. Trudeau told the House of Commons Wednesday that his government “will right these wrongs” by issuing an apology in May.
