CBC Changes Headline After Trudeau Says Canada Doesn’t Detain Migrant Children

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was caught Wednesday apparently changing its headline on a report exploring Canada’s detention of migrants after prime minister Justin Trudeau criticized the Trump administration’s family separation policy.

According to the CBC report, 11 of the 151 children detained by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) were held without an adult in the past year.

Canadian authorities would not reveal why the children were separated from the adults.

Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday that he believes the separation of immigrant children from their families by U.S. border agents is “wrong.”

“I can’t imagine what the families living through this are enduring. Obviously, this is not the way we do things in Canada,” he added.

Following Trudeau’s comments, the CBC’s headline appears to have changed from ‘Canada also detains migrant children, sometimes for months at a time,’ to a less critical one, which now reads, ‘Canada aims to avoid detaining migrant children, but it happens.‘

The psychological effects on minors detained by Canadian authorities have caused concern among academics.

Minors were found left “idle, sleeping or lying on the couches for long periods during the day,” and some experienced “psychiatric and academic difficulties long after detention,” a McGill University study says.

Just think what would happen if 20,000 showed up crossing the Canadian border.

Last year, 151 minors were detained with their parents in Canadian immigration holding centres.

Eleven others were held in custody unaccompanied by an adult, according to the Canada Border Services Agency. The CBSA would not speculate on the circumstances surrounding why a minor was unaccompanied.
...

In Canada, CBSA holds people who are considered a flight risk or a danger to the public, and those whose identity cannot be confirmed.
...

In detention, mothers are normally permitted to stay with their children. Fathers, on the other hand, are kept separate and only allowed to visit their spouse and children twice a day for about 15 to 30 minutes, according to the study.

In some cases, detained asylum seekers have lived in the country without status for years. In detention, they are given the option of keeping their Canadian-born children with them or sending them to live with extended family or in the custody of provincial youth protection services.

The minors detained last year spent an average of 13 days in custody, but the time period can vary significantly.
...

Last November, Goodale issued a directive to CBSA to keep children out of detention and keep families together "as much as humanly possible."

Look how the provinces other than Quebec treat the Quebec residents. They are considered to be sub human and are the brunt of nasty jokes.

No, 20,593 asylum seekers of all ages.

What did they do with them?

Most are living on their own and earning wages while awaiting the result of their asylum applications.

I don't agree. In the previous seven years there were 84,995 asylum seekers entering Canada. From among those numbers, there were only 11 children "held without an adult in the past year."

I believe that the majority of the 84,995 asylum seekers are adults but in all likelihood some of the children have found jobs too.
