Week 5 - St. Louis
I disagree with the Canadian Government's idea to refuse to dock the St. Louis. It was irresponsible to refuse a boat of many human beings (Jewish). Canadian responsibilities should be to protect civilians and they denied a safe location for them to stay. The government also didn't apparently realize there were specifically all Jewish people, not realizing something is strange when people of a certain belief are all on one boat. They just decided to not even ask why they were all on the boat. This is why refusing the St. Louis was irresponsible.

I agree it was wrong to turn away the refugees from the St. Louis it was harsh and terrible. Canada just denied the German Jews entire to our country. I also believe over the course of the war Canada had made many mistakes, but I do believe they learned from them.
