Currently Canada is a multicultural state which does not discriminate individuals based on their ethnicity. In Canada every individual is equal under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, no matter their nationality, the language they speak or their appearance. This was not always the case in Canada. During the Second World War Canadians developed xenophobia, strong feelings of distrust, even hatred, toward “enemy aliens”. As a result of this many enemy aliens were forced to reside in internment camps where the living conditions were terrible. If there was an outbreak of xenophobia against “enemy aliens” today such as in the past or worse, I would stand up for the rights of “enemy aliens”. I would peacefully protest against acts of xenophobia
