'You’ve got that kind of nexus between these terrible immigration laws and horrific labour laws.'
Great investigation by Sara Mojtehedzadeh & Rachel Mendleson w/ manuela vega, detailing the exploitation of trafficked workers in Toronto & the employers who looked the other way.
A Toronto landlady was charged w/ running an “industrial” labour exploitation scheme — one that supplied major employers across the GTA.
Inside a rare criminal conviction — and where it ultimately left vulnerable workers.
From Rachel Mendleson and I:

New investigation from Fatima Syed / @fatimabsyed.bsky.social and me:
Internal provincial docs show the Ontario government expanded Hamilton’s urban boundary in large part because of requests from unnamed “third parties” — and despite warnings from public servants. #onpoli

A non-perm resident & non-citizen, this #MigrantFarmWorker is ineligible to get heart #transplant even he could get free #healthcare in #Canada . In Mexico, he could get transplant but he would need to pay for hefty medical expenses w/no income support.

Great to hear that the Toronto Star has raised their photo assignment rate to match the UPoC - United Photojournalists of Canada recommended minimum livable wage. I applaud the photo editors for helping push that through. Great to see a paper I’ve always admired respecting the work of pjs.
Exciting News 📢 I'm embarking on a new chapter as a reporter/editor with The Canadian Press News Prairies Bureau as a year-long Indigenous News Fellow. I'm grateful the Toronto Star gave me a platform to rocket launch my career after years of freelance and study.
