Well, at least Trudeau has admitted that it is literally out of control under their government.
Meanwhile the UN releases a report about our breeding ground for slavery to the world.

Canada's foreign worker program a 'breeding ground for contemporary slavery,' says UN report
The program is administered by Employment and Social Development Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency. In Quebec, the provincial government is an administrative partner.
"The government defers a significant portion of responsibility for informing temporary foreign workers of their rights to employers, despite the obvious conflict of interest," according to the report.
Because workers lack access to justice, they are at risk of a variety of other abuses, Obokata wrote.
"The Special Rapporteur received reports of underpayment and wage theft, physical, emotional and verbal abuse, excessive work hours, limited breaks, extracontractual work, uncompensated managerial duties, lack of personal protective equipment, including in hazardous conditions ... Women reported sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse."
