This RFD post seems to indicate Amazon's Canadian distribution centers (such as the one coming soon to Calgary) are pretty bad places to work as well.

In GTA mostly from the warehouse slaves of the Mississauga Fulfillment Centre at Erin Mills Parkway & Mill Creek Dr. I have personally visited this facility, absolutely horrible & miserable treatment of the warehouse slaves.
They hire through an in house temping agency called SMX - Staff Management . They use that agency to exploit the workers, instead of exploiting them directly. Almost all the warehouse slaves there are immigrants. Most managers & supervisors are White though, but the workers are not.
Ministry of Labour needs to thoroughly investigate this place. But the warehouse slaves there are too scared & intimidated to complain against the abuse. Most of them are clueless about their rights. I was disgusted & appalled with their treatment. Couldn't believe some crap like this happening right in Canada that too in GTA.

I've read similar stories about the fullfillment centers in the US but this is the price we pay for free, 1 day shipping, and low costs. Heck, I definitely have an Amazon window in my browser right now.
