Why should we go and fight over there? It wasn’t our territory. Of course, maybe if we hadn’t have went there, maybe the Germans would have taken over. May have been under the German flag instead of the Canadian flag. It’s another way to look at it. The Canadian Government isn’t acting up to what they should be doing for us. They should see that Japan give us what we deserved for our slavery and the way I look at it, we’ve got to forgive and forget. But, here a couple of years ago I went to Chandler, at what they call the shopping centre. They had some cars in there. This guy come and he says, “Mr. Hunt, nice car for you here.” I says, “Where’s that? ” Look, he says, “Nice car for you.” I says, “Yeah, you give me that car as a present, I’d tell you to keep it,” He says, “What? ” I says, “Sure, I’d tell you to keep it.” He says, “Why? That’s a nice car.” I says, “You go and pass four years in prison by the Japanese and get beat up and tortured like we did - you tell them to ‘stick that car in your rear end.’” He says, “Oh, I see your point of view.”
