One of the most shameful episodes in Canada's history-long buried/denied by almost everyone involved.

Between 1914 and 1920, thousands of Canadians of Ukrainian and Eastern European descent were imprisoned in internment camps across Canada, simply on the basis of their origins. For decades, their stories were buried under fear and shame. The Canadian government has finally recognized the internment operations, and yet it remains an unknown chapter in our nation's history.

Very odd given that Russia was our ally during the war.
