    Indentured servitude only to be permitted in remote locations with minimal inspection options, say feds.

      Seeing how temporary foreign workers are abused even in the heart of major cities like Vancouver or Toronto, I don’t even want to imagine what the working conditions are like on these farms. Allowing this program to expand, when we can be reasonable confident that it will lead to human rights abuses, is wrong. The feds need to get their shit together

      Out of sight, out of mind. Same as it ever was. Catering to agri-corps costs a lot less political capital than trying to restructure the system.
