We need to place the responsibility where it lies. Canadian employers and the Canadian government are the real snakeheads because they are creating both the situation that causes people to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere, and because they are very purposely creating the situations that leave migrants vulnerable to employers demands, to men's predatory advances and other forms of violence when they are in Canada. Canadian employers and governments alike promote globalization. This has been the buzzword since the 1980s. Globalization basically means promoting trade liberalization, which means promoting people to have no other livelihood other than to make commodities for the world export trade.
Globalization means the deregulation of environmental, labour and all kinds of protections.
Globalization also means the privatization of social services into private capitalist profitable services. Here are couple of examples to show how this is actually happening, how the Canadian government and employers are creating the desperation from which women, children and men from China are seeking refuge. First, the Canadian government and Canadian employers who are setting up factories in China are supporting and encouraging the massive privatization of state-run industries in China. Another way that the Canadian government and employers are acting as snakeheads is their support for the notorious Three Gorges Dam Project. The Three Gorges Dam is going to flood all of the lands that Chinese people have been writing poetry, singing songs about, in order to provide factory owners with electricity.
