>> They've been illegal up here in Canada for a while and it hasn't really caused any economic disasters

This really isn't true. First the word "internship" is not codified in any law. Second employment law is typically provincial unless it's a federally regulated industry so the rules are different everywhere. Finally, most jurisidctions allow them if they're the "hands-on" part of an educational program, which IME qualifies 90%+ of the interships I've seen.

A source for your statement: https://www.lawnow.org/the-law-of-unpaid-internships-in-cana...

Most provinces don't allow unpaid internships, but some provinces have very loose exceptions to this rule. At least, the unpaid internships have limits around work hours.
