Chinese Immigrants Dept: It took 46 years for the government, under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, to apologize for the internment of Japanese-Canadians in World War II, according to CBC. But perhaps we are getting better at this. Now, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is offering an apology for the Air India bombing - after a mere 25 years. For the families gathering at memorial services in Ahakista, Ireland, in Vancouver and in Toronto, these are the words that may help them through the day: a Canadian prime minister finally saying, "We are sorry." It took 83 years for Canada to apologize for the infamous head tax imposed upon Chinese immigrants between 1885 and 1923. The British government took 38 years to apologize for Bloody Sunday. Prime Minister David Cameron said the British army's killing of innocent Irish civilians was "wrong" - although many of their relatives didn't live long enough to hear it. As
