racial group that was without friends or defenders. So as an isolated group, it was a simple matter for a racist government with racist public support to strip Japanese-Canadians of all their 44rights". AH persons of Japanese origin were forced to leave their homes, schools, jobs and possessions and relocate in remote areas v of northern British Columbia, for a period of "up to seven years (1942 to April, 1949). They were incarcerated in prison camps; and had all their property and possessions confiscated and sold by the federal government for approximately one tenth of their real value.
After the War, given that the Japanese had no homes or jobs to return to; that several provinces had refused to allow Japanese-Canadians to resettle in their jurisdictions, approximately 4,000 (approximately z5 per cent of the total Japanese-Canadian population) re-located to war-decimated Japan, a country that most had never known.

For example, several months ago the black community was protesting police '�� shootings of . blacks.
Today, the Chinese community feels itself under attack. The W-5 CTV programme insinuated that Chinese students were taking the places in universities from the 4 * rightful owners", i.e., ; white Canadian students. Simultaneously, the Citizens'" Coalition is continually focusing on Chinese immigration - the: Boat People, the Campuchian refugees, and stating that these immigrants are taking jobs and social services from Canadians (i.e., white Canadians).
We all know what it is like to be a community under racial seige. We can all scratch out the word Chinese and replace it with our own racial or ethnic origin.
The history of my people in this country during World War II is an example of an easily identifiable
Yet no Japanese-Canadian was ever charged; with any act of sabotage or disloyalty during the war
the lesson that we can all learn from the Japanese experience is that without friends we are weak and defenseless. But if we stand together we are a force to be contended with.
We are each other's keeper. We have more in common than we know.
Obviously, if we expect our friends to come to our assistance We must be prepared to support them When they ask;
We must begin to build bridges between pur communities. We must write for each other's papers) attend each other's meetings; setup links of communication and friendship so that the next time a community asks for our support, we will respond together. Because it is only by acting togetherlhat we can begin to fight racism.
Theresa group reaches HonlreaS

Montreal: When Mother! Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo it was also for her service in other parts of the world including Montreal. ;
Half way around the globe in Quebec, Mother^ Teresa of Calcutta is a source of inspiration to several people who wish to dedicate themselves to the service of the poor; the sick and the dying.
F'ather Gustave Houle of Montreal speaks of her as 4'a prophet of our times." He added: 4 4She is really a prophet. She's not bringing something new. She is recalling what you ve read in the Bible. You can't talk about her faith. What is her faith? It's not an ideology; It's a way of life." V^:-:-;VV:-:;K^;.V:::v;y;.

The chief organizer of the Montreal group, Father Houle, heard about the work of Mother Teresa in the early 1970s. Later he wanted to spread the message of the Yugoslavia-born nun. Father Houle met Mother Teresa in Detroit on June 22 last year.
Mother Teresa arrived in Oslo on December 8 to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in the name of the 4'poorest of the poor." She said this: MI think the whole world has recognized that the works of love are the- works of peace and that the poor of the world are our brothers and sisters, also created for greater things."
