Avenue Zero: Canada's Human Trafficking Shame (True Crime Documentary) 

Any person that traffics children or anyone should be in prison for life. What those children go through is disgusting and no child should ever have to go through child rape, abuse , torture and murder. Ever !

Dearest CeeJai, in my eyes, you are not just worth a million dollars, you are priceless. Your spirit is strong and beautiful, because it saved you from that pig farmer, and gave you the courage to speak out today. Kudos to you for the work you do today. Yes, you are priceless!

Human trafficking is so sickening and sad. And you thought there was no more slavery!

Produced in 2009 - you should put that in the description.

'' I was worth ten bucks - today I'm worth a million dollars , or more ... '' : you are amazing , much respect , best wishes and love to you from London . When you are in addiction (as I was) , you think it is forever . Well it's not - and you are such a living example to your peers . Respect , respect , respect to you : thank you .

Kudos and much respect to those willing to reform and change laws surrounding the protection and human rights that we obviously need to revisit in all parts of the world.

Keep helping others, with the raw truth! 🗣️💯🌍

I am sorry but the lady from Covenant house must be pretty naïve. Would you like a free ticket back to Honduras? Umm, no thanks, that is one of the more unstable countries in Central America. I have a real problem with someone who would think that sending them back to Honduras was the best solution.

We all must speak of these horrible crimes. Raise awareness. It seems that procuring victims is easy, and further so easy to sell them.

Wow unbelievably sad and painful to know this is what some people go through

I was going to be furious if a documentary about human trafficking in Canada had ignored the ongoing issue of missing and murdered first nations women. Relieved that wasn't the case; horrified but unsurprised that the police were little to no help for folks in that situation.

Some drastic measures are required to inflict immediate punches to stop human trafficking. Countries are simply nonchalant about it and procedural laws is evidently not producing desired results.

And what is so sad is it is always the young children both boy n girls 🥺 so damn sad 🙏

Why don't they say "men"? Men would call in to the massage parlour and ask how young are your girls? Men. Men would call in. Men. Not people. Not customers. Men.

Seing this, I wish I became a social worker to do something for people in those kind of problems. Empathy is slowly vanishing from this world, which is very sad.

A human trafficking survey conducted in 2016 - 2017 by a national fact finding commission...published its results in August of 2022... Nothing has changed in Canada... Sadly...the same can be said of many a country... 🇿🇦

Oh my love, you are not worth a million dollars, you are worth so much more, you are a priceless jewel. Bless you, and stay strong, you are a beautiful soul.

Local cops were worthless on that one! 49 victims!

I had a Canadian penpal who gave me his WhatsApp. He wanted to meet me but never showed me his picture and told me very little about himself. That was creepy. I think I may have had a lucky escape

Illuminating and powerful documentary. Just don’t understand why there is even a demand for underage boys and girls. Makes me feel helpless

Canada used to have street prostitutes , now street prostitutes no longer exist - now there are Asian massage parlors

Wow! I had no idea about this. I feel so naïve and so sheltered from this kind of life. Knowing this, if l can do anything to help, I will. Little children… what the heck is wrong with some people? Poverty and promise of money…😢 This is heartbreaking

It's funny, earlier this year I spent quite some time at the border on the way to Seattle because of a visa problem I had. I heard the border agents talk to each other. They sounded pretty confident that they knew which type of people were smugglers..

Worth pointing out this happens all over the world, unfortunately

My traffickers were previously convicted and only served 2 years the first time.

CJ had a close call with "willy" Pickton - Piggy's Palace. She was lucky to have gotten away - many didn't. I wonder what she saw or what happened that scared her so badly.

⁩ “Human trafficking is a communitywide problem, and it requires community-wide solutions.”

Strange how people can get in ...when went on a 10 day holiday to stay with relatives was grilled for about an hour!!! It s corruption all the way...

The Canadian government under Justin Trudeau has decided Canada needs people. So they don't care if there is poverty, or a declining health care system, or even if housing prices are out of control. They just want to help the wealthy corporations.

The government’s could do a whole lot more by stopping this tragedy . Just like with gangs and weapons nothing is done to arrest or remove them from society. Women/children should not have to endure years of suffering at the hands of known human traffickers 😢.

This shouldn't even be an issue in our society anymore, that tells you that there are very powerful people keeping it going, like seriously we can find bin laden in a cave in Afghanistan but we can't figure out who these people are, our priorities as a society are so warped

Bravo and many blessings sisters💪👏💕

I would think trafficking is bigger than guns in Canada you can sell a person 10,000 times

That woman is just avoiding saying they didn't want to help the hondurans stay here. What an absolute joke. That is basically the theme of canadian outreach... just tone deaf and missing the point.

18:16 - No it's not. The solution is to look at why these problems exist in the first place and work on solving those. If it comes down to drug demand, then you have to look at why people take drugs, and come up with solutions to those problems.

“it’s …then why just like crossing the street”…then why $900?🧐

Always so many ads .... 😖

The why is it than when people do come forward, nothing gets done about it. Labor trafficking is rampid in Canada

Question: is the problem better or worse than 2009 when this was made?

It disgusts me that Canadians are profiting (both literally and metaphorically) off of these victims labour, and the best the government will do is a temporary visa or a plane ticket home? These people are contributing to the economy, money that is spent on them most likely gets put back into the economy one way or another by their captors. So to act like we owe them nothing is callous to say the least.

Seriously, 14 to 60 yrs old? WTF?

Side note... May your beautiful country gain control of the devastating fires raging across the nation... 🇿🇦❤️🇨🇦

I felt a weird energy when I was out in S ontario region. The Mexican labor workers for the tobacco fields would wear black and wear all black while Walking in the black of the night in highway shoulders of country roads. It was like they wanted to die. I never saw them smile. It was sad.

Justin Trudeau is also Canada's shame

These crimes will be exposed and crushed one day for sure. Matthew 18:6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones those who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea" Let us remember God and look to Jesus for discernment on all things, change our hearts and have nothing to do with sin, because God's wrath with test and expose all peoples, yet His love abounds

It’s not Road zero is zero Avenue

I hope you have posters in Spanish

Powerful

So I live in Canada. But I live on the east coast, not the west. The maritimes. Personally, I’m very much into knowing these horrific things and sharing the things most people like to pretend don’t happen and go on living their regular lives like they’re in a bubble. But, even being someone who recognizes that these are facts, and if we don’t bring awareness to them then it’s not gonna stop, I still have a hard time believing it’s happening here in my country. Don’t get me wrong. I KNOW damn well it is. But I think it’s that stigma attached to Canada. Like it’s so great, the people are so nice, the health care is great, best place in the entire world to live… no. It is just that. A stigma. The grass is NOT greener on the other side. And when I say other side, I’m referring to whatever border you’re about to cross. Bad people are everywhere.

Very nice documentary

I use to live on 0 Av

Good point about the fathers I blame them.

I keep seeing this 'problem' as the girls or the pimps, broken system. What about the people paying for this? Shame for exploitation, shame for being lured into it, where's the shame for who's paying?

So sad :(

the police are the customers

hard to believe that for as long as this planet has existed we as humans have gotten even more dumb…. no wonder the aliens don’t want us….

The same arrogant attitude, as people commit the suicide because of the need of "attention", actually helps the "business going on". Those victims don't do it, because they need attention. But because abuse will make them addicted, it will become as a drug for them in this situation, person gets addicted to it and do not see the way out. And if she or he gets out, they will have withdrawal symptoms, exactly as with drugs or alcohol. And to hear that pregnant girl goes to jail in the end, not pims or clients, is actually very good illustration and result of our "Welcome to the rape club" attitude, which we still see on the 21. century from the ICC to the common gentelmen's meetings poses. I think situation will change, when you start to handle prostitution as a "rape", because actually that's what it is. But in our society, when the crime is too wide, we start to jail or fix or deal with victims. Not with criminals. Start to fix the criminals, and the victims will heal themselves.

60? Sorry, I don’t get that.

The problem is men. If men didnt create the demand for the market, there wouldnt be a market

Being on the streets in canada you will die from cold. -30 temperatures. Better to be homeless in a warm country.

You're worth so much more than a million....You're priceless!!! I hope you can see that when you look in the mirror.

How screwed up are the Americans...the democrate to entice these people and encourage such criminal and deadly behavior

The police,RCMP and some politicians including Trudeau were involved with what was going on at that farm. Even the farmer who took the fall said he didn't do it alone. Trudeau to this day is paying a young girl in BC to keep quiet. Use your imagination of what he did to this underage girl at that time.

❤️❤️❤️

All leads to money and what disgusting human are nothing

2:00 Big deal 'she's taking people from the Us to Canada wow big mover lol i thought she was taking them from Mexico to the uS or Canada n'i mean that would be alot diffrent #pmsl. 🤪

Drug and human traffickers plentiful in t he see countries

#RCMP #HellsAngels #Triads

Notwithstanding the economic crisis and global pandemic (lockdown) ravaging the world 🌎... multiple income streams is the best way to survive the current hardship and recession.the poor Masses needs to spend and invest wisely.

2:28 it does not cost Anything to cross those borders. Not one Penny. What are you talking about???? It never has.

How could I be a be considered a victim if I pay for the service of getting me across a border?

All is written in Révélations Last book of the Bible, chanter 18, the list of what is sold or bought, bodies and souls as well. All is comming to its end, God himself will clean all the tears. Psalm 102: 20,21 God listens to the cries . His will is to be all saved to enter in eternal life with Him. So repent, be baptised in the name of Jésus-Christ, in water , for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the Holy Spirit. Jésus is coming back . The Day of the judgement is near. Get ready to meet your Creator ! Blessings +++!!!

36:14 If this is the kind of person working for antibiotic trafic organisations, well I understand why crimes goes on...These people are there just to have a salary...not to fight human trafiquants...the Governments like human trafic...this is why they don't make laws that will help Police do something concrète to réduction or stop it

That’s so sad about native Indian lady…but sadly this is not unique to Vancouver but all over Canada. You don’t have to just look at Vancouver, but anywhere. First Nation people generally live on reserves, not in the city within their own community where non natives aren’t allowed to live. But alcoholism and drugs are rampant in reserves and within their community even without outside interference. It’s even sadder because they’re the most privileged people in Canada, they don’t have to pay tax and can go to school for free any time they like even during adulthood, they can cross borders between Canada and the US freely. I had several Native Indian friends during school in Canada and they went to school for free in college. One guy failed the course so many times that year and he attended the same classes for the third time I was taking trying to pass the program. Now they may have a limit on how many times they can attend the same program in post secondary institution, but First Nation people are very privileged but affected the most; highest number of people affected by alcoholism and drug additions. And there aren’t many South American illegals in Vancouver now. But drugs are rampant on East Hastings still, people shooting up drugs in public I saw them many times when I drove on Hastings. Ironically West Hastings have many brand name shops and the West and East Hastings are drastically different even though they’re on the same street.

First

Focusing on women as per usual, but never talking about MALE victims. 👎👎👎

No minor should have a choice. You take fingerprints and keep in file. You keep "repadding"them back till their government takes responsibility in detaining them.in their own country.

Yeah - that's what happens when you bring people into a country that doesn't need more. They have to find ways to make money roflmao.

"I entered this country illegally, I can't figure out why people aren't treating me like a citizen" ROFLMAO - get what you ask for and what you deserve.

This legit makes me laugh - hysterically. These people had a choice - they still do - but they continue to play the victim lol.

I never understood why they sent them back. I know they are children but we are supposed to protect children. Their Citizenship shouldn't matter

This has great potential but it’s so boring
