In 1988, the Government of Canada apologized to which group for wartime wrong-doings?

  1. Canadians of Japanese origin

  2. Canadian veterans

  3. The Indigenous Peoples of Canada

  4. Women who served in WW2

The correct answer is: Canadians of Japanese origin

While all of the options may have been affected by wartime wrong-doings, only choice A, Canadians of Japanese origin, received an official apology from the Government of Canada in 1988. The Canadian government issued a formal acknowledgement and apology for the treatment of Japanese Canadians during World War II, when they were unjustly interned and had their property confiscated. The other options, while important groups who have suffered as a result of war, have not received an official apology from the Canadian government specifically for wartime wrong-doings.
