As we c:ometogijthei,this evening, I don,t profess to be able to see any fur他er iftto tihe future ゅan the next person. But I Ven-t^ureto|)redi<jt that the roleむf the Japaneミ6 Comirmnity in Canada —aiid of other minority groups as well—willbe very different inわ he nextliundred years tha?iit has been overぉhe j)sst century.
For one thing, I think we are all cひming to accept Ganadh for •what it is — asmiidia mulU画 cultura, society asはis a/ partnership between those famous two founding races. And viewed in that perspective, alot of our cur-i'ent jn.obiems come to take on b dばferぞnt eホphasis.
We often hear the English and the French commumties arg\iing over this亡ountry. It,s not their cotmり.y ^one' — it,s our coimtヮ一,e countryりf the mino邻".AVid alotひf minorities can sometki>es be pretty
I;?:i)tto thinking a bo ntr that the other day?ミo i ascertained 、vhat tJhe—c:ensusfi扣i:es say. T was 、'eiy interested tolearn that りanぉians/whoseo,ins go bju^k to the British Isles — the Anglos 一make up only a bout 40*% of the total"populaねon; whileCana' dians of French origin — the Francos — comprise a]t)ouL23% of the population. Allthe rest of us — the people's who don't make d headliner — account for about 32っをof the population..
Now these figures are very interesting. Because first of all, theyi.emind us t'lmt in Canada no group forms a majority — not even the Anglos! Secondly, they tellus that we nv:norUks are the second biggest group in Canada, and sloヽvly, but surely; the minorities are getting recognition.
Theおpanese community can
offer豕(K)d iproofカf thiit« As I saゅonce upon a Ume mo0t o( yひu were farmers and fi&hermen, but not any more. Now you rang*e fro mb u sines a men to coll沐eprO" lessors, and aInlost every trad« andoccujvation in between. Without losing yひiu' idenぉty — with-outゅemg am true to your traditional values — you have taken youTpl汰cei?ithelapgercom-munity of Canada. I 'look forward with confidence 'to youi'playing everlarger part in thゃjnibKc and privM;elife of t)iis country.
Don,t misunderstapさjne. The Angte and Uhe Francoslaid the f9U?i(l汰tiゥTis ofthis c6untrybefote our fathersぉnd grandfathers got here, arul they did a goo4 job of it. Bリt that waslong ago and times h汰ve changed. Today our Combin€<I 32^ of /htvinorities is tranミfoi^ming thもfきceof /Caha<Ja; and we mmonゃies wmlive up to con>mitm)&nts madeぉt <j6nfeder4-t^ioTi. Nolongぞr are thepi:ofes,— si oils, biらbuslri"scrrthi&ヌrts the exclusive preserve of Anglos and Francos. AVe minorities* are' coming iritりom*,"wn, and I expect gre&t things Qf us 一 snd ev抑 greぉter things of our children-Ws take sides for a United Canada, ーニ:::
Yet we must be ever on guard. We read even, today of actsひf dis6rkiiinaiioれagainst East TndisiTis in Vaiifpouver, Pakis-tianis ill Tひ;^onta «nd Indians eve17whも1で,&ndおfar too many places of Canada invedives and insiilts are directedさgainst

Your sacrifice v/as not without meaning, for tihe wrongs done to you wiU in ever be forgotten. Whenever thもrights of any minoi'ity are again end2mgeTきd, the Canadian^Jきpanese experience willbe the crux of the argument in deifence of freedom.

一We should also mミnticm the Nisei veterans of the Second World Wair foTttiゃii^part in proving again theloyaれy of the Japanese Canadians to Canada, when the chatice came in1945. At that time we were desperately looking for support, from other Canadians and trying to establish that we wereloyalCanadians, too.
