| > 19kg of Fentanyl got smuggled from Canada into the US in 2024, not even 1% of the total. I realize this is the Liberal's talking point, but it just doesn't add up. For starters they are talking about detected/caught smuggling, which is a terrible metric to use. Then there's the problem of how much is being produced domestically. Just in Q4 of 2024, in Canada found: * Super lab with 55 kilograms of fentanyl, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, 35 kilograms of cocaine, 15 kilograms of MDM - https://globalnews.ca/news/10840910/largest-drug-superlab-bu... * 30 tons of precursor chemicals - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/30-000-kilog... * 31 kg of fentanyl and 7.6 tons of precursors - https://edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/merchants-of-death-to... So that leaves us in a very awkward position with three possibilities: * Canada has busted virtually every lab in Canada within the span of one quarter and was consuming amounts of fentanyl domestically that would render every Canadian an addict. * Somewhere in Canada, someone is stockpiling absurd amounts of fentanyl just for fun. * Canada is catching a negligently small fraction of what their crime syndicates are smuggling into the US. I know which seems more likely to me. |
Isn't it the job of the US to catch drugs coming into the country?
