On July 24, the United States put Canada on an official list of 60 countries formally found to have failed to adequately prohibit or enforce bans on imports made with forced labor. The same legal framework built to target Xinjiang, where China stands accused of forcing an ethnic minority into factory work. Canada got a 10% tariff, effective immediately, over an accusation this channel has never once heard raised in two years of covering this trade war. The mechanism: countries that have formally committed to forced labor import bans get 10%; countries that haven't face 12.5%. The tariff measures paperwork, not actual documented conditions. Trade lawyers can't find a specific industry named, a supply chain investigation, or a documented complaint anywhere in the public record — a stark contrast to the years of satellite imagery, leaked documents, and escaped-detainee testimony that built the case against Xinjiang under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act back in 2021.
