Looking over Toronto's railway yards, Sanford Duplassie, 25, left White River in June when CP Rail laid off workers. There's a future here, he says. Only one of his friends has remained in the north.

Sanford's 11 brothers and sisters are scattered across North America, from Texas to British Columbia.
