Friday, December 12, 1941. After supper I read the New Canadian. The news is all discouraging. Eighteen Hundred fisherman are out of work along with fifty newspaper workers (land that includes Mama!) and all the Japanese schoolteachers. Somebody set fire to a rooming house on Alexander Street and smashed windows in some West End and Grandview shops. All because the workers or vusiness owners are Japanese! It makes me feel sick. How can anybody do such dreadful things? We/ve heard about some awful things happening to Jewish people in Germany bacause of the Nazis. Theat sounded so far away until now. I keep telling myself at least we live in Canada and those things can't possibly happen to us.
