He got off waaay too easy. Asshole should've spent at least a year in jail.
On a second offence I have to agree. He's made himself an ongoing risk to the community at large at this point.
That seems like a slap on the wrist for slave trading.
After the crap about the TFW program and extending foreign student working hours, it's hard not to say this is the Canadian way.
