From the nested article, the farmer they interviewed makes $20.05/hour, above the minimum wage of $17.20/hour. Which is below the Ottawa living wage for 2023 but it does include a room which doesn’t sound like a slum

I do accept that this may be an outlier, as the person they interviewed is a lead farmer, but this rule change is targeting employees below the median wage, $28.39/hour in Ontario.

I disagree that this is endorsing slavery

They download and categorize it, but don’t change the default audio track or fix incorrect language listings
