After a dozen days being shuffled between detention centres in the U.S., Jasmine Mooney has made it back to Vancouver.

The Canadian entrepreneur, who was detained after applying for a visa at the U.S.-Mexico border on March 3, touched down at Vancouver International Airport shortly after midnight Saturday morning.

“I’m still, to be honest, really processing everything,” Mooney told reporters who were waiting for her at YVR’s international arrivals area.

“I haven’t slept in a while and haven’t eaten proper food in a while, so I’m just really going through the motions.”

Canadians had become accustomed to expect special treatment, which in this context means the barest shred of humanity coming through.

I don’t get a vote if Canada gets special treatment by their country or not. If it was up to me, I’d rather that Canadians not get hauled off in chains for making a mistake, but that’s up to Americans and that’s what they chose.

But what I will do is remind Canadians that they aren’t getting special treatment anymore.
