Episode 13: Caged in Canada: Challenging Immigration Detention
Manage episode 290367104 series 2872144
As Canadians, we often believe that Canada is a welcoming safe haven for immigrants and refugees. Unfortunately, Canada has a long history of placing migrants - including young children - in detention for extended periods of time under the guise of protecting national security. How do we reconcile arbitrary detention with a country that is purportedly a free and democratic society? And why are immigration detainees treated so differently from detainees under the criminal law regime? This week, we’re discussing immigration detention, national security, and xenophobia.
