🚨 THIS IS DEVASTATING
There's slave labour in Canada RIGHT NOW.
And it's by design.
The PRIME MINISTER and Brookfield are at the centre of it all.
This is going to be a long thread, but EVERYONE needs to see this.
These connections might (will) trigger you.
Take a seat.
There is slave labour happening in Canada right now.
TODAY. Right now. In 2026. On Canadian farms and factories.
Workers sleeping 8 to a room, with no locks on the doors., and peeing in bottles because they can't leave their work stations.
Passports are being confiscated and cameras installed in their sleeping quarters.
Physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.
A woman from Cameroon who came to Canada to work on a farm said at a press conference in Montreal:
"I lived two years under slavery. An animal had more value than me."
The United Nations investigated. Amnesty International investigated. Both reached the same conclusion:
This isn't the case of a few bad employers. The system was designed this way.
This thread will show you who designed it, why, and who profits.
Every single claim is sourced to official documents. Links and screenshots at the end of each post.
Last week, the United Nations published its review of Canada's human rights record.
Here's what they found:
The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE)
(The ONE office in the country which investigates human rights abuse tied to Canadian corporate activity abroad in the mining, oil & gas, and garment sectors.)
has been vacant since 2025. Cases can no longer be processed.
And the Carney government is considering eliminating it entirely.
At the same time, the Committee found "inadequate consultation with Indigenous peoples on economic development projects affecting their territories"
and flagged "human rights abuses and environmental harm linked to companies domiciled in Canada, particularly in the mining sector."
The watchdog is empty. The abuses are documented. And the government is considering getting rid of the office altogether.
Not one Canadian outlet connected what comes next.
This didn't start last week. It started in the year 2000. At the United Nations.
In March 2000, the UN Population Division published a report called "Replacement Migration: Is It a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?"
The conclusion: "Population decline is inevitable in the absence of replacement migration."
The report calculated exactly how many immigrants developed nations would need to prevent their working-age populations from shrinking. It covered France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the UK, and the United States.
The message to every developed nation was clear: your populations are aging, your birth rates are falling below replacement, and without immigration, your economies will shrink.
Someone in Canada was paying very close attention...
Nine years later, in 2009,
Same year Carney became governor of the Bank of Canada,
two men created an organization to put this into practice for Canada.
Dominic Barton — the Global Managing Director of **McKinsey & Company** (the most powerful consulting firm in the world).
Mark Wiseman — the head of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, managing the retirement savings of every working Canadian.
Together they co-founded the "Laurier Project" which was later renamed to "Century Initiative."
The goal: grow Canada's population to 100 million people by the year 2100.
That means more than doubling the population.
In 2015, Canada signed the Paris Agreement — committing to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050.
That single commitment restructured the entire Canadian economy.
Every sector — energy, construction, transport, mining, agriculture — now has to transition.
Old infrastructure has to be replaced, new infrastructure has to be built.
Fossil fuels have to be phased out and renewables have to be phased in.
Someone had to build the financial system that would enforce it.
Mark Carney was already there, as Chair of the Financial Stability Board.
(the body that coordinates financial regulation across G20 nations)
he created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in 2015.
The same year as Paris.
TCFD became the global standard for how companies report climate risk.
If you don't disclose, investors can't assess you. If investors can't assess you, you don't get capital.
In 2016, as members of the Minister of Finance's Advisory Council on Economic Growth for the Trudeau government, both Wiseman and Barton advocated for increasing immigration targets to 450,000 a year.
They argued that without significant immigration changes, Canada would fall outside the top 45 nations in population by 2100 and would become "increasingly irrelevant over time."
They got what they wanted. And then some.
Canada's fertility rate hit a new record low of 1.25 children per woman in 2024 — the second consecutive year of "ultra-low fertility." Replacement level is 2.1. Canada is almost a full child below it.
In 2023, 97.6% of Canada's population growth came from international migration. In 2025, Canada's population actually decreased, by 76,000 people.
For the first time, without immigration, the country is shrinking.
And the same week Statistics Canada published the record-low fertility data, RBC released a report on the "grey tsunami" — warning that the last boomers will retire by 2030 and that "higher immigration levels are necessary" to pay for it.
The Century Initiative didn't just suggest a number. They commissioned the Conference Board of Canada to write the roadmap.
The report prescribed exactly 450,000 immigrants per year.
Now here's where it gets real.
In 2016, Barton was appointed chair of the Prime Minister's Advisory Council on Economic Growth.
Wiseman sat on the same council. McKinsey provided staff for free. Four the organization's five volunteers were McKinsey employees.
The council recommended exactly what Century Initiative wanted: 450,000 immigrants per year.
The government delivered. Exactly.
2021: 431,000 permanent residents admitted.
2022: 447,000.
2023: 451,000.
The government's own website says immigration now accounts for "nearly 100% of labour force growth."
They told Parliament the Century Initiative "is not a Government of Canada policy."
Then they delivered the exact numbers the Century Initiative asked for. Every single year.
And after Barton left McKinsey? The firm received $24.5 million in contracts from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
The Auditor General found McKinsey got $209 million in federal contracts between 2011 and 2023 — 70% awarded without competition.
McKinsey spending increased 2,500% from 2016 to 2023.
So who's paying for all this?
The Century Initiative's corporate funders include: BMO. Scotiabank. TD. CIBC. RBC. National Bank of Canada.
The SAME banks that received $114 billion in public support for the 2008 financial crisis. In 2009.
During the same time Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of Canada.
AND NOW
Those are the same banks that own shares in BROOKFIELD. The company Carney chaired before becoming Prime Minister.
RBC alone holds over 100 million shares — 6.57% of Brookfield Corporation.
And the same banks that sit in Carney's new $137 billion and Security Reinvestment Bank.
Same banks. Every single time. Funding the immigration targets. Owning the company that profits from the transition. Sitting in the PM's new bank.
All while the PM holds $6.8 million in Brookfield stock options that don't expire until 2034.
OK now it gets WILD.
RBC published a report called "Green Collar Jobs."
Here's what it says:
"Net Zero hinges not just on the large-scale mobilization of financial capital but also, critically, human capital."
The report says Canada could be short 27,000 environmental workers as early as 2025.
That as many as 400,000 new jobs will need to be filled for the transition.
And that Canada has failed to tap "underutilized pools of talent such as women, immigrants and Indigenous youth."
Their recommendation — in writing, on their own website:
"Revise immigration strategies to ensure Canada is attracting, recruiting and integrating newcomers with the right skills for green collar jobs."
"Immigration targets should be reviewed and reshaped to reflect current and future demands for skills to support the Net Zero transition."
They even recommend "payback clauses" so employers can invest in training workers "without fear of employees immediately leaving once the training is complete."
Four of Canada's biggest banks fund the Century Initiative. All six joined Carney's net-zero alliance. And now they're publishing reports telling the government to reshape immigration targets around their transition.
Here's where it gets dangerous.
Why does the Century Initiative need 450,000 immigrants per year?
Because the net-zero transition demands it. (The 'Paris Agreement' Canada signed back in 2015)
Mark Carney co-founded GFANZ (Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero) which aligned $130 trillion in global investor capital behind the transition to net-zero emissions.
He built TCFD — the mandatory climate disclosure framework that gates which companies can access that capital.
Then he went to Brookfield Asset Management as Vice Chair and Head of ESG & Impact Fund Investing. The exact type of company his framework was designed to benefit.
The transition needs 640,000 energy workers in Canada by 2030. The renewable energy sector has a 13.1% vacancy rate (six times the national average).
Government-funded reports, including one from the Electricity Human Resources Council, explicitly recommend: "Streamline Immigration Pathways" to fill the gap.
The machine needs workers.
The Century Initiative provides them.
And the man who built the financial framework that created the demand holds $6.8 million in options in a company that profits from filling it.
Now listen to what one of the architects of this system said out loud.
Mark Wiseman (Century Initiative co-founder, former head of Canada's pension fund, then BlackRock executive)
Was appointed to Carney's advisory council within DAYS of Carney taking office. Then Carney made him Ambassador to the United States.
In April 2022, Wiseman said this at a Century Initiative webinar:
"Let the private sector move to bring people in and facilitate them being able to do that. A lot of the screening and other stuff that we do frankly is just bureaucracy, is a waste of time. Let's let people in by and large and if we have to do the screening ex-post, that's fine."
Screening is bureaucracy. A waste of time. Let them in and check later.
Now let me show you what's happening to the workers they brought in.
In September 2023, the United Nations sent its Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery to Canada for 14 days.
He visited Ottawa, Moncton, Montréal, Toronto, and Vancouver. He met with government officials, workers, and survivors.
His conclusion:
"I am disturbed by the fact that many migrant workers are exploited and abused in this country.
Agricultural and low-wage streams of the temporary foreign workers program constitute a breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery."
His final report, published July 2024, went further:
"The Temporary Foreign Worker Program serves as a breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery, as it institutionalizes asymmetries of power that favour employers and prevent workers from exercising their rights."
Read that again. "Institutionalizes." Not a few bad apples. The system itself creates the conditions for slavery.
In January 2025, Amnesty International released a 71-page report based on interviews with 44 migrant workers from 14 countries. The title: "Canada Has Destroyed Me."
Here's what they found. Read these slowly.
Bénédicte, from Cameroon. Arrived in 2016 with a two-year visa to work on a farm.
She was illegally charged $10,000 in recruitment fees, and was forced to work 70-80 hour weeks. She was sexually abused by her employer.
He controlled her banking, took her phone, wouldn't let her leave the house. She was subjected to racist remarks and threatened with deportation if she complained.
She got sick — diagnosed with severe anaemia. When she finally left, her employer cancelled her visa.
At a press conference in Montreal, she said: "I had to sell everything to pay for a slave permit."
Her employer was sanctioned with a fine.
He is allowed to hire migrant workers again.
Miguel, from Guatemala. His boss confiscated his passport and installed cameras in the container where he slept and the garage where he worked.
Francisco, from Mexico: "The employer gets what he wants, but when the worker is no longer useful to him… He simply sends the worker back. I feel that it is like throwing away rubbish."
Some contracts Amnesty reviewed stipulated zero rest days.
In July 2025, a migrant rights report surveyed 514 workers across Canada.
A mushroom harvester from Mexico, SEVEN YEARS into the program, said:
"I sleep eight to a room with no locks. We have to pee in bottles at night. It's hotter than an oven."
In December 2025, A Jamaican father of two who came to BC on a temporary work contract: "This is the new slavery. They're all using us."
Tyrell Mills, from Jamaica, worked at Triumph Produce in Cobourg, Ontario.
In one month, he received one cheque for $193. It bounced. One day he was paid $35 for 8 hours of work.
A worker named Chauteco from Mexico had his nose broken at work. Doctors scheduled surgery for March 2025 but his contract ended first. He was sent back to Mexico. His nose is still broken a year and a half later. He can't get hired because of breathing problems.
He now sells candy on the street. "I left for a better life for them, but now I've lost everything."
This is Canada. In 2025. And it's happening NOW in 2026. The number of cases will keep increasing as immigration targets continue to be met.
It was designed this way.
Here are the numbers.
5,070 human trafficking incidents reported to police in Canada from 2014 to 2024. That's the government's own number from Statistics Canada.
93% of victims: women and girls. 22% of victims: children — 17 and under.
Forced labour cases found in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program nearly quadrupled in three years:
2020: 45 cases.
2021: 115 cases.
2022: 150 cases.
2023: 168 cases.
Police investigations into human trafficking: 632 in 2024. Up from 512 in 2023.
Government-funded NGOs identified 1,888 trafficking victims in 2024 — up from 1,135 the year before.
84% of court cases involving human trafficking charges were stayed, withdrawn, dismissed, or discharged. Only 10% resulted in a guilty finding.
Half of all fines issued to abusive employers between 2017 and 2022 were never collected.
Both the United Nations and Amnesty International reached the same conclusion. This is not an accident. This is how the system was designed.
Amnesty International: "Exploitation, discrimination and abuse are integral features, not bugs, of the Temporary Foreign Worker program."
Amnesty International: "In its current design, the TFWP is inherently exploitative."
Amnesty International: "Labour exploitation is a foreseeable and systemic result of tied visas."
Amnesty International: "The programme has been designed in a way that enables abuses against the migrant workers."
Amnesty International: "They cannot be attributed to a few unscrupulous employers, nor can they be understood as isolated incidents. Abuses under the TFWP fall squarely under Canada's responsibility."
The Immigration Minister's response when the UN called it slavery?
He called it "inflammatory."
Then admitted the program was an era of "unlimited supply of cheap labour."
Now ask yourself: if the system is producing slavery and the government knows it — why hasn't it been fixed?
Because the machine needs the workers.
The net-zero transition needs 640,000 energy workers. The government's own Electricity Human Resources report recommends "Streamline Immigration Pathways."
The Century Initiative's own analysis says the model requires "a large, mobile labour force" with "minimal friction in the legal system for newcomers."
The co-founder of that organization said on camera that screening is "bureaucracy" and "a waste of time."
And now, the same government is passing laws to fast-track mining and energy projects on Indigenous land.
With the power to override every environmental law in the country.
In June 2025, Ontario passed Bill 5 — the "Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act."
It creates Special Economic Zones where provincial cabinet ministers can override environmental laws for designated projects.
The first target: the Ring of Fire.
A 5,000 square kilometre region in Northern Ontario's James Bay Lowlands containing an estimated $90 billion in critical minerals — nickel, lithium, cobalt, chromite. The exact minerals the net-zero transition needs.
This land is Treaty 9 territory. There has never been industrial development of any kind in this region. No permanent roads exist.
The Ontario government terminated the environmental assessment for the Eagle's Nest mine.
Meaning it can proceed without completing its environmental review.
Nine First Nations filed a constitutional challenge. A $95 billion Treaty 9 lawsuit is ongoing.
Chief June Black of Apitipi Anicinapek Nation: "Ontario's position is basically that colonialism is a done deal and that it cannot be undone; that we're doomed to live in this state, which we consider a crime against humanity."
At the federal level, Carney passed the Building Canada Act — Royal Assent June 26, 2025.
Once Carney's Cabinet designates a project as being in the "national interest," all federal approvals are deemed to be in favour of permitting the project.
The project is pre-approved. Conditions are set after the fact.
Cabinet can exempt any national interest project from any provision of any federal law. No vote in Parliament required. Legal experts call this a "Henry VIII clause" — named after the English king who ruled by decree instead of Parliament.
The term "national interest" is not defined in the legislation. Carney's government can designate anything.
Specifically projects of 'national interest' are evaluated on their ability to, "contribute to clean growth and to Canada’s objectives with respect to climate change."
The first five projects — announced by Carney personally on September 11, 2025 — are worth over $60 billion. LNG, nuclear, copper mines, port expansion. The Ring of Fire is expected next.
MiningWatch Canada called it "a shocking power grab."
This is the same pattern Brookfield used in Brazil — where Carney's company was fined after a Brazilian court found workers on Brookfield-connected farms in conditions the court classified as slave labour.
Where Global Witness documented Brookfield attempting to evict an Indigenous community from their ancestral land in the Amazon for commercial farming.
Now the same thing is happening in Canada.
On Canadian soil.
To Canadian First Nations.
Under laws the Prime Minister personally pushed through Parliament.
So in summary:
The current government created the demand — $130 trillion in capital aligned behind net-zero.
They built the labour pipeline — Century Initiative, 450,000 immigrants per year, delivered exactly as ordered.
They passed the laws — Building Canada Act, Special Economic Zones, environmental assessments terminated, Indigenous consultation bypassed.
They left the watchdog empty — the one office that investigates mining, gas and oil abuses has nobody in it.
The workers at the bottom of the pipeline are sleeping 8 to a room. Peeing in bottles. Having their passports confiscated. Being sexually abused. Being paid $35 for a day's work. Being sent home with broken bones because their contract expired before the surgery.
The United Nations called it "a breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery."
Amnesty International called it "inherently exploitative" — and said the abuses are "integral features, not bugs" of the system.
The co-founder of the organization that set the targets said screening was "a waste of time."
And the man at the centre of it all —
The Prime Minister of Canada, the man who built the financial framework, chaired the company that profits from it, and now runs the country —
holds $6.8 million in stock options that don't expire until 2034.
Mark Carney, September 2025:
"Now is not the time to be cautious, because fortune favours the bold."
Fortune favours the bold.
Not the woman from Cameroon who sold everything she owned to pay for what she calls a slave permit.
Not the man from Mexico sleeping 8 to a room peeing in bottles. Not the father from Jamaica who was paid $35 for a day's work.
Not the First Nations calling it a crime against humanity.
The bold. The greedy. The ones with the options.

Here’s the pipeline:
They wrote the population targets
→ chaired the council that set immigration policy
→ their firm got over $100M in government contracts to implement it
→ the PM built a $130 trillion financial framework directing capital to clean energy
→ then chaired the company that collects the profits
→ became PM
→ appointed one of the architect to the most powerful positions
→ passed a law bypassing Indigenous rights to fast-track the projects
The UN investigated the labour program feeding this system and called it a ‘breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery.’
