How seafood from North Korean forced labour ends up in Canada

Where does your seafood come from? And who, along the supply chain, handled it? An investigation from the non-profit investigative journalism organization, Outlaw Ocean Project, reveals a network of North Korean labourers at Chinese seafood plants (www.theglobean...) - a violation of United Nations sanctions - supplying certain Canadian seafood companies. The workers detail a pattern of hyper-surveillance, poor pay and sexual assault by their employers.
Ian Urbina (www.theoutlawo...) , executive editor of The Outlaw Ocean Project (www.theoutlawo...) , joins The Decibel to discuss the findings of the investigation, the working conditions inside the processing plants and how products made from forced labour are ending up on Canadian store shelves.

When I heard the Canada Pension Plan was invested in shares of privately owned for profit US prisons, I lost all faith in Canadian business practices. Then I watched Doug Ford get elected by ignoring 48% of voters who cast a ballot for no one, then I watched him delay legal cannabis so the former Toronto police chief could corner the market for the mafia.
