So the Trump administration is levying tariffs against Canada for not doing enough to stop enforced labour. That's rich coming from a country that still practices slavery.

And this is just considering their domestic slave labour population, not the conditions under which people work for American corporations in some countries. American manufacturers didn't move factories south just for lower wages. Low wages come hand in hand with bad working conditions.
