The people who #work the farms are usually #renters, who pay the gentry and #foreignworkers who can be #indentured by #ModernSlavery. As a country, we love dogs because they are #perfectslaves, the #capitalistlies 🤔 #govegan

After the 1833 Emancipation Bill, the sugar cane industry had a problem. It needed cheap workers.
The solution was the importation of #indentured servants from #India and #China.
"Coolies" worked the same fields as #slaves had & were treated similarly.
But #Chinese coolies were seen as "better", while #Indian coolies were regarded as childish.
The practice ended in 1912.

According to Cooper, the Bank of Nova Scotia exists “in the shadow of West Indian #slavery .”
#Canadian sugar was built upon #violence , including upon #enslaved & #indentured #labour .
