"We're going against our own Canadian values."

A tense moment in Ottawa as a witness for Clean Energy Canada is pushed to explain why we should allow Chinese EVs into our market despite major human rights concerns. If the "economic choice" relies on forced labour, is it even a choice at least some Canadians are willing to make?

We don't use slave labour in Canada. We just ignore a whole shitload of people who slip through the cracks because of little opportunity and they end up drug addicted in the center of most small towns and cities. We are morally superior. /s

Modern slavery in Canada.

Not or mention that we were all OK with slave-made shoes, clothes, appliances, toys, etc. As long as our consumer habits are satisfied.
