Quote:
"In 1943 and 1944, attitudes to Japanese in Ontario 'fluctuated' according to the state of the war or reports of atrocities in Asia. Ottawa's propaganda efforts did nothing to ease hostility. For example, late in 1942, a National Film Board production, The Mask of Nippon, portrayed the Japanese as a race that 'could practise deceit and treachery in such a manner that their every action held a double meaning.'"
