Embassy » Getting the facts straight on Kenney’s story
“Immigration Minister Jason Kenney launched a rant against the judiciary last week in which he blamed the country’s judges for delaying the removal of failed asylum seekers. Anyone reading the newspaper articles that were written after the speech would have seen numerous legal and refugee experts criticize the minister’s remarks, particularly his apparent failure to understand how Canada’s legal system works.
Well, anyone who didn’t read the edited version of The Globe and Mail report that was posted on the minister’s own website.
Mr. Kenney’s site “reprinted” the Globe story by Joe Friesen with the same headline that appeared on the paper’s site, “Minister scolds judges over delays, inconsistency in refugee cases.” It also displayed all of the minister’s comments. But it left out several paragraphs that quote critics of Mr. Kenney’s speech.”
So while Bev Oda inserts words, Kenney just leaves them out.
