Trudeau insults Emancipation Day by giving pass to slave labour | Toronto Sun - Jamil Jivani:
July 29, 2022 - "Canadians can soon expect [Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau to make comments on social media in honour of Emancipation Day. It’s one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the men and women who fought to end slavery in the British Empire in 1834. Trudeau may even pat his own government on the back for being the first to officially recognize August 1 as Emancipation Day last year.
"But ... [w]hile he presents as though he’d be on the right side of history two hundred years ago, Trudeau gives a pass to slave labour today. Literally, right before our eyes, Trudeau allows for goods made by slaves to be sold in our country.
"Let’s take a close look at one industry in particular: personal protective equipment.... Supermax medical gloves are alleged to be made by slave labour in Malaysia. In October 2021, the United States cancelled all of its contracts with the Supermax corporation [and banned the gloves' sale in the U.S. - gd]
"U.K. politicians then called for an investigation into the company as well. Trudeau Liberals made it seem as though they had followed suit in January 2022, when Public Services and Procurement Canada announced they were terminating two contracts with Supermax worth over $222 million.
"But, eight months later, the Trudeau government still allows for Supermax gloves to be sold in Canada. Three companies, each of which are listed in the Fortune 500, continue to sell these medical gloves suspected of being made by slaves.
- Henry Schein, ironically named one of the Ethisphere’s most ethical companies in the world, sells Supermax gloves under the brand Aurelia.
- Patterson Dental contradicts its own supplier compliance standards by selling the same gloves.
- You can also buy the gloves from Avantor, which violates its own policy to prevent slave labour in its supply chain....
"Back in February, the Trudeau Liberals froze the bank account of a single mother earning minimum wage because she donated $50 to the trucker convoy. They froze the accounts of hundreds of other Canadians, too, for supporting the truckers. But they expect us to believe they can’t stop Fortune 500 companies from selling medical gloves made by slaves?"
