Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) radio address from June 10, 1940. In the address Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King declares war against Italy and authorizes the Royal Canadian Mounted Police "to take steps to intern all residents of Italian origin whose activities have given ground for the belief or reasonable suspicion that they might in time of war endanger the safety of the state or engage in activities prejudicial to the prosecution of the war."
