Fentanyl
- Thread starter petros
- Start date
Canada’s in-house synthetic drug production ramped up in 2019, when China placed restrictions on exports of processed fentanyl, and took off further when COVID lockdowns interrupted the cross-border flow of goods in the early 2020s.Large-scale fentanyl labs first sprung up in British Columbia, owing to its proximity to the Asia-Pacific region, but have since spread eastward to Alberta and Ontario. Ontario police busted one such lab, located just 50 kilometres away from the Niagara Falls border crossing, in the summer of 2023.
A facility in Falkland, B.C., thought to be Canada’s biggest and most sophisticated fentanyl super lab, was shut down by police in late October 2024.
China is still believed to be the primary source of the chemical precursors processed at these facilities.
Canadian-sourced fentanyl has been recently turning up in raids in the U.S., Australia and other foreign countries.
A briefing note prepared by Global Affairs Canada in June 2024 said that there is reason to believe “Canada is now a source (and transit) country for fentanyl to some markets.”
Mexico’s president has also accused Canada of allowing fentanyl to spread easily, alluding to experimentation with drug decriminalization policies in B.C. that were facilitated by the federal government.

The funniest part is the Mexicans magically coming up with 'The Largest Seizure Ever' a week into the argument.*
Mexico announces record drug seizure one week after Trump threatens tariffs
Soldiers and marines discover drugs in Sinaloa, while separately authorities arrest more than 5,200 migrants
FWIW-Claudia Sheibaum is in this up to her turkey neck it's the Sinaloa cartel who's bankrolling her diamond plated pension as per SOP for every Mexican president.
* by now that warehouse full of dope has been returned to it's owners as per SOP all over Latin America-large drug shipments belong to powerful dangerous people who might accept a bit of a 'writedown' but who expect to be compensated/refunded/otherwise recompensed otherwise even more bodies start appearing on the streets.
Fentanyl - could be anyone
Rifles - could be anyone
Swords - we all know how the hell that is, and it ain't this guy!
Swords…for Christs sake? Further east out on the prairies it’s machetes because of all the jungle we need to clear…& you can get your own at Bianca amor‘s for about $25. The perfect tool for robbing cabs and off sales and people at ATMs.
What legitimate purpose is ownership of a $25 machete out on the Canadian Prairie?
Oh look! They’re on sale for less than 20 bucks this week!!

RCMP said that families had been notified and the deaths were “suspicious in nature.” A machete on the prairie in & of itself is pretty suspicious in nature.

The data the White House has cited to say Canada is responsible for a “massive” increase in fentanyl flowing across the northern border include a large drug bust that, according to the U.S. border agency, has no known connection to Canada.
In justifying its plans for tariffs on Canadian goods, the White House said in a statement Monday that 43 pounds of fentanyl had been seized at the northern border last fiscal year, representing a “massive 2050 per cent increase” compared with the fiscal year prior, when two pounds of fentanyl was intercepted.
However, court records and interviews indicate that about one-third of the 43-pound tally was seized in July in Spokane, Wash. – more than 150 kilometres from the border with Canada – as part of an investigation last summer that led to charges against three Mexican nationals.
Although the seizure of 14.8 pounds of fentanyl is listed in U.S. Customs and Border Protection data as associated with the “northern border,” and therefore included in last year’s 43-pound total, a spokesperson for the agency said the seizure has no known nexus to Canada.
It was included in the total because of its proximity to the border and the involvement of northern border patrol staff in the investigation, which was conducted by a task force from multiple U.S. law-enforcement agencies. Oh well.

The months-long probe, which was led by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, is outlined in documents filed in U.S. District Court in Spokane. This includes an affidavit sworn by a Customs and Border Protection northern border patrol official who had been working with the DEA.
The operation involved a search of two vehicles and a house, and resulted in the seizure of approximately 68,000 pills presumed to be fentanyl, as well as several firearms, large bundles of U.S. currency and several other drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin.
Investigators amassed evidence that a car used by the alleged drug traffickers, which had California licence plates, travelled from Phoenix to Spokane in the weeks prior to the seizure, court records show. There is no mention of Canada in the criminal indictment against the three men, or the affidavit sworn by the border agent.
The White House did not respond to The Globe’s request for comment as of deadline Tuesday evening.

That was an old pot transport route. Mostly going south from farms in the interior. Since various provincial governments have been destroying the logging and mining in the area, this is about the only industry left. All those Esplanades running around up there are not being paid for by tourism.
Former Mountie Kevin Brosseau named fentanyl czar in reply to Trump’s tariff threats

OTTAWA — The Liberal government has named Kevin Brosseau, a former senior Mountie, to be the federal point person on fighting the spread of deadly fentanyl.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Brosseau’s role as fentanyl czar will involve working closely with U.S. counterparts to accelerate Canada’s efforts to detect, disrupt and dismantle the illicit trade in the drug.
A statement Tuesday from the Prime Minister’s Office said Brosseau’s demonstrated expertise tackling drug trafficking, organized crime networks and other national security threats “will bring tremendous value to this position.”
During his more than 20 years in the RCMP, Brosseau served as a deputy commissioner and the senior Mountie in Manitoba.
More recently, he was a senior official in the transport and fisheries departments before becoming deputy national security and intelligence adviser to the prime minister.
U.S. President Donald Trump recently threatened to impose steep tariffs on all goods from Canada, citing the southbound flow of migrants and illegal drugs including fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid.
After Trudeau explained details of Canada’s plans to beef up the border, Trump agreed to a month-long pause on the tariffs while the two work on a new economic arrangement.
The statement Tuesday said while less than one per cent of the fentanyl intercepted at the U.S. border comes from Canada, “any amount of fentanyl is too much.”
“Fentanyl is a lethal drug that has torn apart communities and families across Canada and the United States,” the statement said. “The scourge of fentanyl must be wiped from the face of the Earth, its production must be shut down, and its profiteers must be punished.”
Ottawa outlined a $1.3-billion plan in December to bolster security and surveillance at the Canada-U.S. border.
It recently announced additional plans to appoint the fentanyl czar and to list organized crime cartels as terrorist organizations.
