Summary

Labour trafficking in Canada is surging, disproportionately affecting migrant workers and international students. Despite numerous cases of exploitation, employers face no penalties and continue to operate. The situation is worsening due to immigration cuts, leading to an increase in low-wage jobs and potential undocumented workers. Prosecutions are rare, and Canadas anti-trafficking strategy has expired. Advocates warn of a ticking time bomb due to weak protections and cheap labour demand. The system is creating more vulnerability than solutions, leaving workers trapped and depressed. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
