>Calling it a "stain on Canada's past", Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologised for turning away of a ship of Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims in 1914.
A Japanese steamship, the Komagata Maru, arrived in Canada on 23 May 1914 from Hong Kong, carrying 376 migrants.
>Most passengers were turned away and the ship sat in the harbour for two months before returning to India.
>Twenty passengers were killed and many were jailed after a riot broke out upon the ship's return.
They were denied entry into Canada because of the laws of that time.
>"Today - while knowing that no words can fully erase the pain and suffering experienced by the passengers - I offer a sincere apology on behalf of the government for the laws in force at the time that allowed Canada to be indifferent to the plight of the passengers of the Komagata Maru," Mr Trudeau said in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Isn't Canada's current policy to turn away migrants who come illegally??

He can't apologize for shit other people did. His apology means nothing and only makes Canada look more cuckworthy.
I remember when Obama tried to apologize to Japan for nuking them. They wouldn't accept the fucking apology. It's worthless, plus it was war, shit fucking happens.
>apologizing for something you didn't do and weren't alive for to dead people on behalf of people you don't represent who wouldn't be sorry anyway
Literally what

Fuck off.
Sikh, Muslims, Hindus, all cancer on this earth.
