This is part two of our mini series: Black Market Babies (part one, here).
It’s a family story that lay hidden for decades. Then the tech was born, the DNA came to light, and after the shock, the investigation began.
An underworld tale of the international baby smuggling ring that bought and sold hundreds of newborns out of Montreal in the 1950s.
A family story told by the families. One reporter whose own mother was bought and sold. And another whose own DNA tied her to the one of the alleged masterminds behind the black market baby trade.

Testifying in Parliament last week, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown revealed how India affected his 2022 bid to lead the Conservative Party of Canada. But was he a victim of foreign interference, as reported by CBC/Radio-Canada, or a willing conduit for Indian interests? San Grewal of The Pointer joins to explain how (and why) CBC got spun.
Note: Jaskaran Sandhu did not reply to our request for comment in advance of publishing this episode.
UPDATE (12/11/24): after publication, Jaskaran Sandhu responded to Canadaland’s request for comment with the following: “I did not bring, place, plant, or spin this foreign interference story to the CBC. I wish I was that powerful. But it is kind of nice knowing those like San think I am.”
