A growing share of Canada's agricultural workforce is composed of temporary foreign workers from the Global South who work difficult and dangerous jobs with limited legal protections, but it was not always like this. Dunsworth shows how the restructuring of capitalist agriculture transformed the Ontario tobacco sector and Canada's farm labour force.
