Mexicans trapped in 'modern-day slavery' as pay from their cleaning work was controlled by traffickers: OPP

Ontario Provincial Police say they have freed 43 "modern-day slaves" brought to Canada from Mexico by alleged human traffickers and forced to work as cleaners at hotels. The 43, mostly men, were coached on what to say when they entered Canada, lived in squalid conditions in Barrie and Wasaga Beach, and were transported to hotel and vacation properties in Central and Eastern Ontario to work, police said on Monday.
