while i would welcome and support any american economic sanctions on forced labour, and strongly oppose canadian attempts to build trade agreements with countries like indonesia and vietnam who i would rather place canadian tariffs on for exactly that reason, the trump adminstration should begin by examining their own prison labour population, which they have actually been dramatically expanding since 2016.
allowing slave labour is actually a good reason to place tariffs on somebody, and one that i would generally support. but it's the americans that continue to have slave labour in their prisons as a result of the disgusting 13th amendment, not us.
i would support placing economic sanctions on the united states until they abolish the 13th amendment.
