“This action follows the automakers’ unacceptable decision to scale back their manufacturing presences in Canada, directly breaching their commitments to the country and Canadian workers,” the government said in a late-night media release.

    There is zero slave labour in the process.

    This is outright false. There is ample evidence for slave-like labour, it’s even been posted in this thread.

      There is a case in Brazil where a FACTORY CONSTRUCTION SUPPLIER is accused of abusing workers. It had such power through passport confiscation, which is not available in China, and where workers have more avenues to complain. Migrant strawberry pickers or American minimum wage workers can be abused and have wage theft, without calling out the US itself for slave labour. China has better worker safety/complaint process than the US.

      The only propaganda accusations of slave labour in China are/were in US sponsored terrorist/destabilization target of Xinjiang province. Baseless extention of that baseless (or at least unconfirmed) propaganda is simply made to make you stupider, brainwashed, and hateful.
