If it looks like a turd, smells like a turd it probably is a turd... or a prison, in this case. How can that bozo say it is not a prison? It is surrounded by razor wire. Ah, we are so civilized!

Detention is usually based on one of two grounds: either the CBSA is not satisfied with a person's proof of identity, or an officer believes the family is at risk of absconding....

Maybe the immediate solution is to return them to their nation of origin and insist that they go through the proper channels to enter the country?

.. But I'm guessing that the liberal mantra to that will be something along the lines that it's Canada's duty to be the Welfare cheque and healthcare facility to the world... All one needs to do is walk into the country and demand their rights

Canada must uphold its treaty obligations regarding refugees. I am against sending people back to their country of origin if there is a risk of torture or execution... or even severe injustice or oppression.

Yes they could make these prisons for a little less institutional and more pleasant.

Yeah... I remember hearing the stories about getting the gvt money to go farm on the prairies - a weekly cheque until things really got going.... Families were all extremely happy - you know, a doctor's office on every corner and no one was ever cold in the winter (subsidized housing you understand) or went hungry.

It was utopia for sure

From the artcle in the OP.
Quote:
"Dr. Richard Stanwick, president of the Canadian Paediatric Society, told CBC’s Diana Swain that children in detention can suffer lasting effects.
"He says studies have shown that many of the immigrant children 'have sleep disturbances, others have separation anxiety …some have full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder.'
"The Canadian Paediatric Society is among those calling for the federal government to create separate facilities for families outside of detention centres. "

Yesterday I paid some genuine Canadian guy $5 to shovel my walk. He said he had done 12 places already. At least $60 and another $5 from me tax free. Would it really matter if he wasn't Canadian yet?

Mine was a hood local in his 40's. He said he was going to go to Galaxy and have a night out. I laughed and commented. "A couple of grams and a trip through space?" He just laugh and said "you forgot the the Big Bear."
