Fentanyl

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.
