Kind of suprises me a little considering how open Canada has been to asylum seekers and immigrants in the past.
Mr. Kenney is trying to change that image and even went as far to block US military personnel who tried to claim refugee status in Canada. Apparently they did not want to fulfill their obligations to serve the USA and fight in Iraq or Afghanistan so they ran to Canada instead. It looks like history does not always repeat itself, heh-heh.

In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
