Government of Canada lists seven transnational criminal organizations as terrorist entities - Canada.ca

Transnational criminal organizations, including cartels, play a leading role in the production and distribution of fentanyl throughout Canada. To rid Canada of this scourge, the Government of Canada will ensure law enforcement has every resource available to dismantle and disrupt the operations...

B.C. organized crime expanding export of fentanyl and other drugs

That suggests exports might be increasing, but the U.S. seizes far more fentanyl on the Mexico border than the Canadian border. Read more.

Of course they are there. While there may not be cartel members in Antarctica, I am sure drugs are there. Cartels and gangs are going to be next to large amounts of inventory.

They haven't taken over.

Let me ask this, are tariffs going to force Canada to do what America cannot...prevent to movement and sale of drugs???

More like “in bed with” Canada. Canada allows it to happen. They may not have the resources to deal with it. But the way their President speaks, makes me think he’s fully aware of cartel activities

"Most all politicians" don't start trade wars with their biggest trading partners based on nonsense through either.

True. But that doesn't mean they haven't been as harmful, or more harmful, in other ways.

If we want better leaders, the people running and our process for choosing them will need to change.

You're eventually going to run out of fence to sit on.

The "both sides are just as bad" argument is rapidly proving itself to be false.

Since these tariffs were discussed, Canada has appointed a "fentanyl czar" and brought 10,000 border enforcement personnel to assist at the US-Canadian border. That will help and infers that they have not been that serious about protecting our border. Canadian criminals have advanced beyond Boris and Natasha.

This may be a crazy notion, but I feel like we (AMerica) are responsible for our Border. Not Canada. Not Mexico.

How anyone can look at our 'drug policy' over the last 60 years and come to the conclusion we need more of the same or to get even tougher with that policy is beyond my understanding.

why are there only two options? you are presenting a very bad false choice.

wanting something new/different isn't sitting on the fence. its a completely separate option the two main sides don't want us to figure out. they enjoy passing power back and forth like this. and its why the problems remain.

This is one thing (of many) I don't get. If Trump thinks it's easy for Canada to shut down fentanyl movement, why don't we just seize it all at the border? We could inspect all the people/goods that enter.

I can't claim responsibility for the emergence of the 2-party system in the United States; before my time.

Unfortunately I don't see the emergence of a viable third party occuring any time soon, so we're all forced to work with what we have.

It's a mystery to me, too. The only explanation I can muster is ego-centric people (which describes major politicians) think their ideas or their management of others ideas will lead to better outcomes. Why else would we continue our drug policy?

Maybe in a similar way, those same politicians think it is easier for another country to do what we cannot do.

We can't keep it from crossing our southern border through legal ports of entry, and we have 10x the resources Canada does. Expecting them to do better than a tiny amount of Fentanyl is the dumbest **** ever.

I understand the Mexico as elements of their government aids in the movement of the drugs. Canada I think did offer up the right answer on the drug trafficking. They do have some crazy tariffs on us though--like dairy. Reciprocal tariffs would be the way to go there.
