Introducing: The Secret Life of Canada

The Secret Life of Canada hosted by Leah Simone Bowen and Falen Johnson is a podcast that looks at all the people, places and events regularly left out of Canadian history. This episode from Season 3 investigates why there isn’t a Japantown in every major city across Canada and looks into early Japanese Canadian history. With the help of Lisa Uyeda from the Nikkei Museum, Leah and Falen connect the dots between internment during the Second World War and the huge fallout for multiple generations. Then discover what happened when theatre artists Julie Tamiko Manning and Matt Miwa, found out their families were both sent to Tashme — the largest internment camp in B.C.
