Maybe you can define what is meant by slave labour in the garment industry....people who desperately want to earn money and pay huge sums to migrate somewhere, end being indebted to the middle men to pay back the debt out of the meagre salaries? And such people are working in countries that lack occupational health and safety laws?

Or child labour? ?

I totally agree to wear clothes conscious-free in the end, would be for a person to sew them.

Do I agree that so much of Canada's garment industry has gone overseas because the labour cost is much lower? No. But not sure what can be done about this, short of sewing one's clothes. I had several relatives working in garment factories in Toronto and San Francisco. Not that they really wanted to do this work but it was the alternative left with limited English.

Or paying alot more money for clothing made in North America.

No easy answers. I used to sew my clothes and do consider myself a decent seamstress. I just got lazy. Othe priorities. Now my sewing machine is in a different city at this time.
