"Sandra Wisner, director of the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto, got together with some of her colleagues and submitted a complaint with the Canada Border Services Agency about American produce and products made in the U.S. with prison labor, specifically in Alabama. Their argument? The Canadian law that was meant to ban goods made by forced labor in China applies just as much to the U.S., and it's hard to not see their point."

Indie author, parent, human rights enthusiast, cancer survivor. Proud Korean, proud Jew. Life's too short, so I block Substack posters as well as NYT posts, and mute BlueSky references. I hate crypto and AI, but everyone else here does, too. Picture is of Long Wharf on May 20, 2021. Foreground is a picture from the Boston Commons.

They're calling this #forcedlabor but it looks pretty close to #humantrafficking to me.
