on 10 june 1940, italy joined the war on the axis side. after that, italian canadians were heavily scrutinized. openly fascist organizations were deemed illegal while individuals with fascist inclinations were arrested most often without warrants. organizations seen as openly fascist also had properties confiscated without warrants as well. a provision in the canadian war measures act was immediately enacted by prime minister king. named the defense of canada regulations, it allowed government authorities to take the needed measures to protect the country from internal threats and enemies. the same afternoon which italy joined the axis powers, italian consular and embassy officials were asked to leave as soon as physically possible. canada, which was heavily involved in the war effort on the allies' side, saw the italian communities as a breeding ground of likely internal threats and a haven of conceivable spy networks helping the fascist axis nations of italy and germany. though many italians were anti-fascist and no longer politically involved with their homeland, this did not stop 600-700 italians from being sent to internment camps throughout canada.
