“I could feel the blood rise,” Chong told me Friday.

“Many of us have been subject to anti-Asian racism and for the prime minister to accuse us of driving anti-Asian racism is very upsetting.”
Chong wasn’t asking the questions that saw Trudeau invoke the phrase “anti-Asian racism” three times on Wednesday but he was taking part in question period that day. He has also asked the very same kind of questions that led to the accusation.

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formally apologized on Thursday for the internment of Canadians of Italian descent during the Second World War, saying the community has carried the weight of the unjust policy for generations.
He told the House of Commons that internees were business owners, workers, and doctors, but they were taken away to internment camps scattered across Canada. Once they arrived at a camp, there was no length of sentence, he said. Sometimes, the internment lasted a few months. Sometimes, it lasted years. But the impacts â those lasted a lifetime.
