Over the past few weeks, we've been sharing a message about the importance of collaborative journalism. Here is the latest example: a deep-dive investigation into the abuse faced by migrant farm workers in Canada. And a look at how our visa system can trap workers in exploitative conditions.

I've always been so impressed with the incredible journalism produced by @thenarwhal.ca. And I am thrilled we had the opportunity to partner on such an important topic. Collaboration is the key to our work at @globalreportingcentre.org.
