Key Points: 
  • Click here to register for In Conversation With Jordan Stanger-Ross and Audrey Kobayashi, April 18 at 2 p.m.
  • This is a virtual event co-hosted by The Conversation Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
  • The federal government is currently consulting Canadians about creating a Foreign Influence Transparency Registry.
  • Federal Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has demanded the Liberals set a firm date for the launch of the registry.

Past wrongs

    • The proposed registry sets off my alarm bells, given my research over the past decade on the uprooting, internment, dispossession and exile of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s.
    • In 1941, three-quarters of people of Japanese descent in Canada were British subjects of Canada, citizens by the law of the time.
    • Months before Japan attacked allied bases in the Pacific, officials created a registry of Japanese Canadians.
    • Secretly, security personnel began to compile lists of those suspected of advocating enemy interests.
    • Once Canada and Japan were at war, Japanese Canadians suffered through a cascade of injustice.

Future choices

    • Proponents claim that the registry is in no way inherently racist and that it would protect Chinese Canadians.
    • But the terms being floated in public consultation about the policy are vague and expansive.
    • Given its breadth, the government cannot possibly imagine that every point of contact between a Canadian and any “foreign principal” will be registered.
    • What future harms remain unforeseen?
