      Oh this is slavery abroad. I figured we were referring to slavery at home.

      Why? Haven’t you heard? Pragmatism is the word of the day. Who cares about pesky things like ethics anymore. As long as we can own the Cons and thumb our nose at Trump we’re golden Ponyboy

      Yeah, the Agricultural sector needs to be obligated to prove the necessity of their international workforce. Because I am from an area with one of the highest concentrations of foreign Agricultural workers and many of them are employed by the ultra wealthy Greenhouse owning Families making incredible sums of money while the local Governments are bending over backwards to subsidize their industry and protect their profits.

      When you’re buying up entire sections of lakefront property to build McMansions for your entire bloodline then maybe your *need* for a foreign workforce is a lie. It’s also pretty tough to build up a domestic workforce when most positions you can be hired for require Spanish. It’s a self reinforcing system because the workforce is Spanish so obviously the management and other workers need to be able to communicate which means they *need* foreign hires.

      If the Greenhouse operators were actually in financial need and the sector was at risk of collapse because of Economic pressures, sure then foreign workers can be justified. When their 16 year old children drive to the local high school in an AMG that was parked in a 16 bay garage located between their Tennis Court and regulation sized basketball Court … I become cynical.

      Sounds like one of those job-killing regulations Poilievre’s always talking about axing. Let the free market decide whether or not slavery is good or bad, amirite?

      We’ll know theyve started when every canteen and cafeteria in the country shuts down.

      IPhones and Teslas are made from modern slavery but we will never stop buying those.

      Well, that’s a short article.

      It is right to point out that there is existing legislation to handle supply chains that have child labour implements. In fact, you can see the full list here, by good, by country: [https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/reports/child-labor/list-of-goods](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/reports/child-labor/list-of-goods)

      Read through it, you’ll be surprised by what you find.

      So, as I understand it, countries will refuse blatantly „immoral“ goods, but it’s easy to wash those goods into the supply chain. It’s kind of like meat production in more rural areas of South American countries. The meat doesn’t get sold to US or Canada, but it might make it’s way North by a border or two, hit Mexico, and could be consumed by Mexican markets. Meanwhile, Mexican beef gets sent to US/Canada. And then US/Canada beef is, well, I don’t know where it goes – probably sold into high-dollar luxury markets. Kinda like Wagyu. The same story exists for coffee, chocolate, super foods like goji berries. Actually, goji berries is one of those foods that’s fun for kids to pick apparently. It reminds me of the fiasco with little girls picking palm nuts to make palm oil for girl scout cookies, which are sold then by little girls. Just a tragedy rolled up and smoked for profit – just another day in the business.

      But ya, I’m down with making sure child labour doesn’t continue. Hey at that point, might as well have a world union, an international wage system… oh wait I think they tried that and it was killed out of the gate and never let to see the light of day. Cause, if for only one thing: cheap stuff sells, and it buys votes (especially when you hide the country of origin.)
