There's also their H-2A program, which is used to entrap migrant workers into indentured slavery, much like certain reported abuses of the Canadian TFW program.

Yup, all in the name of cheap labour. I didn't say that Canada wasn't entirely innocent, I merely said that it's hypocritical for a powerful pedophile to speak of forced labour. He raped children.

I was just agreeing with what you said about labour and adding that along with the literal slavery in their prisons, there's also indentured servitude for migrant workers. Mentioning Canada's TFW Program was something I did to balance what I said, and not in response to your comment.

I should also add that the US' ICE concentration camps also have forced labour. The current Delaney Hall hunger strikes (on the inside) and protests (outside) are about drawing attention to stop it in one of the many locations where that happens.

(I hope he somehow faces justice for his crimes and that the criminals they're protecting do too.)
