RE: Montreal: Hotbed for Sex Trafficking, the Bankok of the West

in #deepdives6 years ago

Great piece @krnel, and congratulations on 1st prize this go around! I found that this article was not only well written but it demonstrated how human trafficking is happening in major cities all across the globe and and in our own backyards.

I've visited MTL before and I knew about the biker gang wars and mafia families but never heard the term "Bangkok of the West", I did hear about the 'contact' lap dances though and was surprised to hear that that was permitted.

Why do you feel that Montreal is a hotbed for trafficking, is it the presence of organized crime, or is there something more that we're missing?

Thanks! Thanks for the pick too ;) I called it a hotbed of trafficking because of the nickname of Bankok of the West, which indicates there's a lot of it happening, so it must be a hotbed key zone for the shit "industry" :/
