Toronto teens are being trafficked to Thunder Bay for the drug trade. How one father fought to rescue his son: ‘I’m not leaving until I get my son back’ Thunder Bay officials point to the growing issue of suspects from the GTA, some of them young people seduced by the lucrative drug trade, who are taken away from their
