In a moment of glory, Leavitt reminded a room full of smug White House reporters that President Trump’s so-called “conspiracy theory” about the COVID lab leak turned out to be true, as confirmed by the CIA’s recent assessment favoring the lab leak theory as the most likely origin of the virus. “Several years ago... President Trump would take to this podium to brief the American people on COVID-19, he suggested that COVID very well may have come from a lab in Wuhan, China, and many members in this very room mocked him for that. “Said he was spewing conspiracy theories. He was not. We now know that to be the confirmable truth. It took many years for it to come out, but the president was right in this instance—again,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt also made it crystal clear to reporters that the federal government will hire based on competence, merit, and skill—not DEI. “People should not be hired based on their disabilities, based on their skin color, their gender, their race. “None of that matters. What matters to this president and this administration is how well you can do your job. And the American people agree with that sentiment. So it’s about competence, skill, and merit.

As the press briefing neared its end, Leavitt landed another unexpected blow, flipping the script on a reporter’s attempt to frame Trump’s speaking style as a character flaw. REPORTER: “If you can shed any light for us on how the president perceives his use of public profanity, which is a practice that certainly sets him apart from all of his predecessors. Does he regard it as an effective communications device, part of his appeal, or is it something that he lapses into inadvertently, perhaps, in times of frustration and later regrets?” LEAVITT: “I think one of the things that the American people love most about this president is that he often says what they are thinking but sometimes lacks the courage to say themselves. And I think yesterday at this podium, you heard President Trump express great frustration, perhaps even anger, with the previous administration’s policies, many of which have led to the crises that our country is currently facing and that this president is focused on fixing.”

I believe Donald Trump's tariffs could severely harm Canada's economy, potentially reducing us to a Third World status. With 60% of our international trade tied to the U.S., which constitutes 40% of our GDP, the implications are dire. Many Canadians are expressing fears of an economic collapse, envisioning a future where we become known as "Snowy Mexico." The reliance on American trade makes the situation even more concerning.

"Donald Trump's tariffs will turn Canada into a Third World country—no exaggeration. Soon, we'll be called 'Snowy Mexico.' Americans simply won't buy anything from us anymore. To understand the long-term impact of these tariffs, you have to realize that 60% of our international trade has always been with the U.S. And that's 40% of our GDP. In other words, our trade with America makes up half of our entire economic productivity." Canadians are predicting economic collapse and the country's transformation into a "Snow Mexico."

Video Transcript AI Summary

Donald Trump's tariffs could severely impact Canada's economy, potentially leading to a significant rise in unemployment. With 60% of Canada's international trade linked to the U.S., these tariffs threaten to price Canadian goods out of the American market. The increase in apprehensions of individuals on terrorist watch lists at the Canada-U.S. border has prompted these tariffs, highlighting concerns over Canada's immigration policies. The current government is seen as ineffective, with ongoing issues like open borders contributing to the crisis. Despite calls for economic negotiation, Canada lacks the strength to effectively respond. The situation is precarious, and the future looks uncertain as the government struggles to maintain power amidst these challenges.

Speaker 0: Donald Trump's tariffs are going to turn Canada into a third world country. Without exaggeration, we will soon be better known as Snow Mexico. So, first, what is a tariff? A tariff is an import or export tax, meaning anything that goes into America being sold to an American company or individual will have a 25% federal tax added to it to be paid by the person who is buying the product. Now, again, this doesn't mean Canadians will have to pay 25% more, but what it does is it prices us out of the international market, in when it comes to America. Americans will just no longer buy anything from Canada. To put into perspective as to how big of a deal this is, roughly 60% of our international trade is with America, and that accounts for 40% of our overall GDP. So our trade with America is almost half of our entire economic productivity, which is about to just be wiped off of our spreadsheet. And, again, to really hammer in how serious this is, Doug Ford has said that his team has already advised him that he can expect unemployment numbers to go up by 500 to 600,000. Can Ontario's current unemployment is 600,000, meaning our unemployment is expected to double in the face of these tariffs and will definitely reach double digit percentage wise. Now why are these tariffs being put in place? Donald Trump has cited our border as the issue. Over the recent years, the number of individuals being apprehended at the Canada US border that are on terrorist watch lists has skyrocketed. So to put as a comparison, it's roughly 350 individuals on terrorist watch list apprehended at the Canada US border compared to a 150 at the Mexico US border, meaning Canada is now the preferred route into America for terrorist and criminal organizations because of our lax immigration policies. For instance, Trudeau has turned Canada into an open border experiment over the last few years. Even just today, the Globe and Mail reported that 50,000 international students have not been showing up for class, meaning we have people that just, you know, come here due from international student status and buy their way into Canada, essentially, and then just disappear once they're here. Even India has launched an investigation into the amount of Indians that come here with programs like our international student program and then immediately illegally cross into America. Also, our asylum program is a massive issue. People come here. They, they actually, here's a rock solid case. It's the Ahmed al Bedi case, who was granted Canadian citizenship after despite being on video dismembering a victim for ISIS. He came here as an asylum seeker and did the whole year too long process of that and then got granted Canadian citizenship. So, again, this isn't the vast majority of them that are doing this, but the small number of them that are are just slipping through the cracks because Canada is run by absolute imbeciles. So, again, this is going to absolutely decimate Canada's economy. Every single province and territory in Canada is a larger trading partner with America than any other province. So each independent province trades with America more than anyone else in Canada. This is not minor at all. And what is our current state of governance? Well, we've got a government that is holding Canada hostage to prorogation. So they in order to avoid a no confidence vote, there is no practical reason for this as far as needing to be done other than just to try to retain power, for the liberal party so that they can shoehorn Mark Carney in as Justin Trudeau's replacement. So we've gone from having a World Economic Forum puppet to a World Economic Forum scriptwriter become the Canadian prime minister, and all of the exact same policies that have created the scenario where these tariffs are getting put on us, like, say, the open border policies are just going to continue. I know Trudeau said he was pulling back, but he hasn't, and he won't, and neither will his replacement. And, you know, you've got people like Doug Ford and Ottawa saying that we should go to economic war with America despite the fact that we are completely dysfunctional. And you know what? I typically agree that you should negotiate through strengths and that you shouldn't, you know, just take a fetal position when somebody is attacking you. But the hard truth is that over the last 10 years, Canada's economy has been decimated to the point that we don't have strength to negotiate from. We are the equivalent of somebody that has atrophied and now can't get out of a wheelchair. You know, for the last 10 years, our GDP per capita has completely stagnated, if not declined. The only reason we are growing economically is because we are pouring people into this country and which is causing way more second and third order consequences than it is solving of problems. But I guess the one silver lining here is this, is that I think the border issue is a real issue for Trump. However, I also think this is just a vendetta against Trudeau, and I think that he is likely using this whole scenario as a squeeze point in order to root out the Liberals from leadership in Canada so that he can have a, let's say, a competent leader to actually negotiate with. So one can hope that that's the scenario and, you know, that Canada will truly feel the pressure from this tariff incident. But, you know, we've got a government that seems to rather rule over ashes than give up power. So we'll see how this all plans out. But, yeah, I I I'm not trying to just be an alarmist here, but things are gonna get real shaky for Canada.

This young man nails the explanation of tariffs and breaks it down in layman’s terms what is currently going on between the US, Mexico and Canada. Definitely worth watching the whole thing! https://t.co/v4kop0Trdc

Video Transcript AI Summary

Tariffs have become a hot topic, raising questions about their implications for the US, Canada, and Mexico. The current situation highlights the leverage the US holds in negotiations. Mexican exports to the US account for 35% of their GDP, while Canadian exports make up 22%. In contrast, US exports to Mexico and Canada are only 1.2% and 1.5% of their GDP, respectively. This disparity suggests that Mexico and Canada cannot afford to prolong a trade standoff. The US is pushing for negotiations, not out of bullying, but in response to serious issues like the fentanyl crisis and illegal immigration, which have significant impacts on American society. The message is clear: those contributing to these problems must face consequences.

Speaker 0: Okay. So tariffs have been a trending topic for the past few days, and people are asking questions about what this means for the US, what this means for Canada and Mexico, and some people simply just don't understand what the play is here. So let's talk about it. These new tariffs are simply a game of understanding leverage. Who has it and who doesn't? Right now, we have business leaders in office who understand the art of negotiation and they understand that the ball is in America's court. Now what does that mean? Let's look at it from a perspective of GDP. For those who don't know, GDP is essentially a big scoreboard that totals up all of the money that a country makes from everything that it sells. That includes cars, fruits, clothes, etcetera, even things like haircuts. So what does that mean for each of these countries? Well, let's just take a quick look at the numbers to see who has the leverage here and who doesn't. Mexican exports to the US as a percentage of their GDP is 35%. For Canada, that same number is 22%. Or in other words, 35% and 22% respectively of everything that those country sales goes directly to the US. Now let's look at it from the perspective of the US. US exports to Mexico as a percentage of GDP is a whopping 1.2%. Not to say that it's insignificant, but it's 1.2% compared to 35%. Now if we look at Canada, US exports to Canada as a percentage of GDP is an even larger 1.5% compared to 22%. Who do you think can afford to play this game longer? Do you think that Mexico is going to risk 35% of their GDP? No. No. It's not going to happen. And we have leaders in office who understand this. And what we're doing is we're forcing them to the negotiation table. And let's clear up some misconceptions here because I see a lot of people saying this too. This has nothing to do with America wanting to be a bully, but it has everything to do with Americans finally saying we're not going to be bullied anymore. To put more context to that, drugs like Fentanyl, which are manufactured in China and then smuggled into the US through our southern and northern borders in Mexico and Canada, have become the number one killer of Americans aged 18 to 45. That means 100 of thousands of people are dying from this drug. Not only that, we're dealing with an illegal immigrant crisis that's the worst in American history. It might actually be the worst in world history because no other country on earth has open borders like America has had for the past few years. We have tens of millions of people coming into the country illegally, taking up resources that Americans can use, committing crimes, and bringing drugs in. To say that these three things are not happening is just simply to deny reality. And all America is saying now is, hey. Since you wanted to kill 100 of 1000 of our citizens, since you wanted to flood our country with tens of millions of illegals, which you facilitated, now you have to pay the consequences.

JUST IN: CNN's Scott Jennings shuts down WaPo's Catherine Rampell after she said Trump got "rolled" by Canada & Mexico. At one point, Rampell laughed after Jennings mentioned all the fentanyl de*ths from open borders. Jennings: Canada and Mexico need to help us. Rampell: They have been. Trump got rolled! Jennings: Ask every family with a fentanyl de*th how much they've been helping. Rampell: *Laughs*

Video Transcript AI Summary

Catherine questions the economic impact of the situation, noting that if tariffs were implemented, they would hurt American consumers. Scott dismisses this, suggesting that everything is fine and that Trump is effectively managing the situation. He argues that other countries need to assist the U.S. more, especially regarding border issues. Catherine counters that these countries are already doing what they’ve been doing. Scott insists that families affected by fentanyl should recognize the lack of support. The conversation highlights differing views on the effectiveness of current policies and the perceived need for further action from allies.

You are imposing tariffs on regular Americans, and we will respond. Canada is a crucial market for U.S. exporters, larger than China, Japan, the UK, and France combined. The anger in Canada is palpable, with the entire country rallying behind Prime Minister Trudeau. The tariffs are higher than those against China, which feels like a betrayal to a loyal ally. The justification regarding fentanyl and border security is flimsy, as only a tiny fraction of fentanyl comes from Canada. Canadians are proud of their sovereignty and will retaliate against these unjustified measures. The relationship between our countries has historically been beneficial, and we want to maintain that partnership. The current situation is seen as self-harm for America, and Canadians are uniting in support of their government.

Speaker 0: You are taxing regular Americans, and we are gonna fight back. And Canada is your biggest market. Canada is a bigger market for US Exporters than China, Japan, The UK, and France combined. For Americans like your business people, right, the customer is always right, and your customer is really angry at you. The whole country is behind the retaliation the prime minister has announced. So now we are gonna tax American exporters who are trying to sell us stuff. That means Americans are gonna lose jobs. So this is really it is self mutilation. America is hurting itself. We think that it is utterly crazy, and we're also really, really angry at you. Speaker 1: So madam deputy prime minister, I was really struck when prime minister Trudeau spoke over the weekend, the sense of betrayal that he expressed, that we have been there with The US, he was saying, I'm para every Speaker 2: step of Speaker 1: the way, even in times of need, and now this is coming out of nowhere. Elaborate on that, please. And also just more specifically, just remind viewers just how closely linked these two nations are, particularly whether it's people or goods going back and forth across the border, sometimes multiple times a day. Speaker 0: The prime minister has been great, and I have to tell you the whole country is rallying behind him. We all feel personally hurt, and that hurt is now becoming anger. You know, we pride ourselves on being a polite, nice country. But at the Raptors game last night, the American anthem was booed. At a senators hockey game over the weekend, the American anthem was booed. Because we do feel like we are your friends, we're your neighbors, we are your allies, and you guys are really lucky to have us on your northern border. The fact that you have this safe, secure, friendly country on your northern border is foundational to American prosperity. And now you're slapping us in the face. I mean, the tariffs against Canada are higher than the tariffs imposed against China. What's going on here, guys? Speaker 3: It's Sally Vitale. I have a question for you in regards to the way that these tariffs have been put on. The Trump administration is saying that it's because they wanna stem the flow of fentanyl through borders as well as illegal immigration. But in your conversations and in the conversations that these governments are having, do you have a sense of what the Canadians would even have to say to get these tariffs removed and appease the administration? Speaker 0: Well, thank you for the question, Ally. And the fact is it is these tariffs are being imposed truly for utterly no reason. The pretext offered is the flimsiest pretext possible. Less than 1%, in fact, around 0.2% of the fentanyl that comes into The US comes through the Canadian border. If border security were the issue, this could be solved in five minutes. We wanna secure border too. We would like to stop the illegal US guns that are smuggled into Canada and cause deaths on Canadian streets, and we are very happy to work together to not have asylum seekers cross in either direction. The president has also directly threatened our national sovereignty. He has said over the weekend that if we were to become the fifty first state, there would be no tariffs. Canadians really, really, really are angry about that. And I do want to say, we want to be your friend, we want to be your partner, we want to be your neighbor. We're good at that. We've done it for decades and decades. But we are proud of our country. We're really proud to be Canadian. Our sovereignty is not negotiable. And if you hit us, we are gonna hit back, and the whole country is gonna be proud to do that. Speaker 4: Well, and and and Canada has been, Mica. Canada has been our friends, our allies, our best trading partner. And, again, as Chris just said, and so many Americans need to understand that the fact that the longest peaceful contiguous border in the world is the northern border, that starts at Maine and goes all the way all the way over to Washington state. And the fact that we don't have to have troops on that border because Canada is such a good friend. Again, this is, again, for for so many Canadians, just shocking. Speaker 2: So also a friend, Christia, who was on Morning Joe in the early days, along with all of us, sharing her political analysis. She is, educated sleep steeply not in just Canadian values, but American values and the American constitution. And so to your question of what's going on here, guys, Kristy, I ask you, imposing tariffs on a friendly border nation, What do you think is going on here? What's your assessment of what's happening here? Speaker 0: You're the Americans, and I'm gonna leave that up to you. But I do have a message for you, which is we are a great ally and partner. There is an exit ramp here. There is a win win here. For all of our history as countries, we have been great, mutually beneficial partners and friends. Ronald Reagan famously said, We're more than friends, we are kin. And he said that the Canada US relationship is the best, the most mutually beneficial relationship between two countries in history. Ronald Reagan said that. He was a smart guy. He was right. But what I will also say is this isn't gonna work. You know, this is a colossal act of self mutilation where America is hurting itself. And please know that we think it is utter madness. We are not gonna back down. We are really proud to be Canadian. We love our country so much. Canadians are rallying around this issue. We're gonna stand up for ourselves. And, you know, I used to say we do it more in sorrow than in anger, but we're moving away from the sorrow feeling towards really being angry about this because it's so unjustified and so pointless. Speaker 4: And as the Wall Street Journal editorial page says, it is the dumbest trade war in history. Christia, let me ask you finally. I understand Canadians have all come together, and they're they're even coming together behind, prime minister Trudeau who's, has been extraordinarily unpopular in the polls, up to this point. I am curious, though, are there is there anything more he should be doing? Is there anything more that you would do Yeah. If you if you were prime minister now in response to these tariffs? Speaker 0: The whole country right now is united. Everyone is rallying behind this united national response. We our prime minister is our prime minister, and we are supporting him as he stands up for Canada. If I am chosen to be leader of the Liberal party and become prime minister, I will continue that fight, and I will fight really, really hard for my country. Speaker 2: Alright. Canadian prime minister candidate and former deputy prime minister of Canada, Christia Freeland. Thank you very much. It's good to see you. Come back. I have a feeling this story isn't going away anytime soon. Thank you very much for Speaker 3: being Speaker 2: on Speaker 4: this

The era of ignoring this crisis is over, and it looks like Canada’s corruption is on the verge of being exposed, with potentially massive consequences.

I'm hearing from high-level police officers that Canadians don't realize the extent of criminal money laundering in our cities. A "fentanyl czar" is needed, someone with credibility to assure the US government that the RCMP will cooperate with the DEA on wiretaps of Triad or cartel bosses in Vancouver and Toronto. The US-Canada strike force on organized crime requires legal memorandums of understanding with Ottawa, proving it's not just talk to avoid tariffs. This includes the FBI and DEA working with the fentanyl czar to bust Triad money laundering operations in Vancouver. Some of these bosses are connected to funding of the Trudeau Liberals, and the Trump administration is aware. The US doesn't trust our word anymore; they need to see concrete action.

Speaker 0: Daniela, I'm hearing from current and former high level police officers that say, you know, despite what the Golden Mail or Daniel Dale at CNN are reporting about, you know, 40 kilograms is it. No, Canadians have no idea the level of criminal money laundering running through our cities that's connected to this. So that's the issue. I just wanna add before we look, where do we go from here? What Mark is saying about a hurricane, that hurricane is gonna hit us with 25% or more if we don't put a real fentanyl czar in place, that is someone with credibility that the US government look, they're not gonna be fooled if you put a Justin Trudeau office lackey in that position. They need someone that can assure the American government that the RCMP will work with the DEA if they wanna put a wiretap on a Triad boss or a cartel boss in Vancouver and Toronto because it didn't happen before. The last point is, look, this count, this US Canada strike force on organized crime, I believe the American government is gonna wanna see legal memorandums of understanding signed with Ottawa saying this isn't just pretty language to put off a tariff, this is some sort of joint laws between Canada and The United States where we will have, you know, you working with the fentanyl czar, if the FBI and DA wanna come up to Vancouver and bust one of these triad command control money laundering nodes, which by the way, I'm afraid, I'll say it, some of these bosses are connected to funding of the Trudeau Liberals. I'll just drop that because it's true, and I believe the Trump administration knows it. So the Americans, we're now in the Germany, Greece, European Union relationship, Canada and United States are there, they're not trusting our word anymore, they need to see our homework.

reSee.it AI Summary

Canada faces a significant fentanyl crisis, with an average of 21 overdose deaths daily. While the issue is serious, it's essential to approach it factually. The Port of Vancouver is a known hub for drug trafficking, involving gangsters like Larry Amero of the Hells Angels. However, Vancouver isn't alone; ports like Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas in Mexico also play crucial roles in fentanyl trafficking, often with even less oversight. To effectively tackle the fentanyl problem, we must focus on how it is trafficked through these ports rather than solely blaming Canada.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

Canada clearly has a fentanyl problem. A🧵. Important questions arise over this problem: What do we do to fix it? And how much of North America's fentanyl problem is Canada's fault? Trump's tariffs reignited the fentanyl conversation, so let's take a clear-eyed look at it:

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

1/ In Canada, the number is 21. That's the average deaths per day of fentanyl overdoses. In the United States, the number rises to over 200. This isn’t a small problem, it's a big problem. And if we’re going to tackle the problem, we need to look at it honestly and unemotionally.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

2/ This is an emotional issue, after all. People are dying. And politicians, as they will, are politicizing the deaths. Canadians have a right to be angry. Americans have a right to be angry. But are “Canadians killing Americans”? Absolutely not.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

3/ It’s a problem of such enormous scale it's almost impossible to comprehend. 21 deaths per day due from fentanyl overdoses means fentanyl takes more Canadian lives each day than U.S. soldiers died each day during the height of the Vietnam War.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

4/ The purpose of this thread is not to downplay the crisis. There's no way to downplay the fentanyl crisis. Nor is the purpose to downplay Canada's involvement in the fentanyl crisis. It is simply to put Canada's role in the fentanyl crisis into a more factual context.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

5/ Our story begins at the Port of Vancouver. The Port is the largest in the country. It has a long and storied reputation for being a nexus hub of drug trafficking, money laundering, and the international fentanyl trade—and most of the stories are absolutely true.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

6/ Sam Cooper, Kim Bolan and many others have done a fantastic job documenting Vancouver's role as a crime hub for years. Because of their great work and the work of others, it has long been an established fact that the Port is quite literally operated by known gangsters.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

7/ One well-documented example of a known gangster who worked at the Port of Vancouver is Larry Amero. Amero is a prominent member of the Hells Angels. He was employed as a longshoreman at the Port of Vancouver along with being arrested for murder and other gang-related activity.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

8/ It was a position he obtained through the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 502, where sponsorship by an existing union member—such as his father, who also worked at the port—was required for hiring.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

9/ And so he issue of crime at the port is well understood. What might be less understood (because why would Canadians need to consider this until now?) is that Vancouver isn't the only North American city with a gang-affiliated port or a port crime problem—not by a long shot.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

10/ Take Manzanillo, for example. Mexico's busiest port, it's long been an ideal hotspot for fentanyl precursor trafficking. Like a more extreme version of the Vancouver-Hells Angels relationship, it is under strict control by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

11/ In fact, on Oct. 2021, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned four individuals—Aldrin Miguel Jarquín Jarquín, José Jesús Jarquín Jarquín, César Enrique Díaz de León Sauceda, and Fernando Zagal Antón—for coordinating CJNG drug trafficking operations through the port.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

12/ These men were alleged to manage cocaine shipments from Colombia and precursor chemicals for fentanyl and methamphetamine, working under Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez, son-in-law of CJNG leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

13/ Much like Vancouver, its Pacific location makes Manzanillo ideal for imports from Asia, including fentanyl and fentanyl pre-cursors. As lax, insecure and compromised at the Port of Vancouver might be, Manzanillo is likely still much easier for cartels to do business with.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

14/ Manzanillo has long been the destination of choice for traffickers. The port’s high container through-put and proximity to cartel strongholds makes it ideal for narco-trafficking. Indeed, if you were importing fentanyl, this would likely be your port of choice—not Vancouver.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

15/ Then there's Lázaro Cárdenas Port—another Pacific port heavily influenced by the CJNG and a key hub for importing fentanyl precursors from Asia. A decade ago authorities seized 19 tons of phenylacetic acid originating from China—the implicated port workers weren't even named.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

16/ But what about inspections? The numbers do vary—but only marginally. It’s estimated less than 1% of shipping containers are searched at Lázaro Cárdenas as per some estimates, as compared to Vancouver’s 3% and Manzanillo's 2% and 4% at the Port of Los Angeles.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

17/ And that brings us to Los Angeles. How does port culture in Los Angeles compare to that in Vancouver? Not favourably if you're prepared to take the line that Canada should be punished for its lax attitude towards fentanyl and illicit drug imports.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

18/ Los Angeles gang culture is notorious. The somewhat ironically nicknamed "City of Angels" is home to numerous gangs—from MS-13 to various Crip and Blood factions and everything in between. Unsurprisingly, many of their gang members intersect regularly with the port.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

19/ The Port of Los Angeles and The Port of Long Beach, which comprises the San Pedro Bay port complex, handles more containers per ship than any other port complex in the world. These warehouses rely heavily on a workforce of largely working class men, which includes gangsters.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

20/ So entrenched is gang culture in the port that the local warehouses surrounding the port are often one of the few readily available jobs for those with a criminal record and no work history. In 2019, an L.A. longshoreman port was charged with trafficking the cocaine himself.

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

20/ “Many are men who did stints in prison. Many are youngsters seeking legitimate employment with some gang involvement. Some are just starting families. Some are disillusioned and trying to start fresh. Some are active bangers with 9 to 5's.” https://medium.com/@justincunningham.dlr/blue-collar-politics-and-gang-culture-collide-in-las-harbor-region-785105988ba8

@AmazingZoltan - Alex Zoltan

21/ The point of all these stories is this: if we want to get serious about dealing with fentanyl, we need to become more serious about how it's trafficked. It doesn’t mainly arrive into Canada, the United States or Mexico across land borders—it ostensibly arrives at the ports. https://t.co/zrrJ1jiA3W

I recently uncovered three fentanyl labs in British Columbia, all well-equipped and producing precursors. Despite claims that the region has no fentanyl, the evidence suggests otherwise. Aniline, a precursor for fentanyl production, was found, raising questions about the legitimacy of official statements. Ontario is identified as a key control center for the fentanyl trade, yet the government is downplaying the crisis by dropping charges related to trafficking. This situation is dire, and I fear it will worsen without proper action from leadership.

🇨🇦 just busted 3 fentanyl labs in 2 days. All well equipped, industrial scale facilities within a short-drive of each other in BC. All to produce the fentanyl 🇨🇦 totally doesn’t have. Tragically I’m not your fentanyl czar, but here’s what I’d notice if I were. 😉 <thread>🧵👇 https://t.co/qCfsHNl0o8

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

2/ this is a fun photo. Nothing brown is used to synth fentanyl. Precursors are clear or white. But aniline, an essential manufacturing chem, is light brown & darkens as it oxidizes. Only problem is aniline isn’t used in fentanyl production. wtf, eh? https://t.co/zzzxVGO5HP

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

3/ However, aniline is used to make fentanyl precursors. RCMP said 2 of 3 labs in the fentanyl bust were manufacturing fentanyl. What was the 3rd? I’m not a fishing license expert like 🇨🇦’s newly appointed fentanyl czar, but it sure looks like a precursor lab.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

4/ But that can’t be! 🇨🇦 doesn’t have any fentanyl. That means it definitely doesn’t have the dozens of industrial scale labs that were busted over the past few months. It definitely doesn’t have precursor labs. That’s preposterous! Something, something, China! Mexico!

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

4/ anyway, if you’re new here—I’m being sarcastic. I’ve been arguing w/🇨🇦’s gov about fentanyl proceeds laundered through our banks & housing for like a decade. 🇨🇦 is the command & control center of the global fentanyl trade. Ignoring it just b/c Trump said it, is reckless to us

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

🇨🇦’s public safety minister just said less than 1% of 🇺🇸’s fentanyl is from 🇨🇦, and ditto for illegal immigrants. Here's why that's a whopper of a lie. Warning: Your opinion of 🇨🇦 will irreversibly change. <thread> 🧵👇

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

6/ Seriously, you have no idea ho bad 🇨🇦’s fentanyl problem is. You know how 🇨🇦 is now the global center of money laundering? That’s smaller than 🇨🇦’s fentanyl trade.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

You know how 🇨🇦 is a global money laundering hub? Well, according to 🇨🇦’s intel agencies it has over 50% more organized crime groups that deal with fentanyl. Fentanyl is 2nd only to cocaine for organized crime activity in 🇨🇦. Anyway, glad there’s no fentanyl in 🇨🇦. 😬😂 https://t.co/J5zV3AznxT

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

7/ also the RCMP is cracking down in BC & the Province is helping. Ontario is the where the actual control center is located, and they aren’t doing a thing because it’s bad for business. In fact, mention how many busts are related to ON + ON folks scream it’s a lie.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

Neither 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 are saying what the drug-border conflict is about out loud, so I guess I’ll do it. This is about 🇨🇦’s trucking industry & Ontario’s truck driving schools that popped up overnight. <thread> 🧵👇

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

8/ 🇨🇦’s gov told you it has no fentanyl, & definitely doesn’t export. … just a few weeks after 🇨🇦’s intel wrote in a report that it has an extensive fentanyl industry that exports. 🇨🇦’s Schrödinger Fentanyl problem. It’s a crisis & doesn’t exist all the same time. 🤷‍♂️

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

“🇨🇦 has no fentanyl” example #322,656 🇨🇦’s intel used this fun slide recently: - 🇨🇦 has 235 known organized crime groups involved in fentanyl (most in BC & ON) - 🇨🇦 engages in “mass production” - domestic self-sufficiency, meaning 🇨🇦 makes so much it’s a net exporter https://t.co/Zmk6urWMga

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

9/ surely if 🇨🇦 had a drug & money laundering problem, it would have more crime stats! Nope, because MOST criminal charges in places like Ontario are dropped. No day in court, no crime. Case closed!

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

Ontario, 🇨🇦 is the: - global fentanyl control center - global car theft capital; and - global money laundering hub So what’s Ontario’s one weird trick to low crime stats? Its gov began dropping MOST charges. Trafficking, rape, extortion, etc. No need to proceed. 🤷‍♂️

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

10/ great time to traffic fentanyl though. It looks like 🇨🇦 is dropping fentanyl trafficking charges to avoid any official statistics on conviction. Probably also a great time to go long on fentanyl treatment centers. Hamilton recently lined the streets with them.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

🇨🇦 hiding a lot more fentanyl trafficking. A whopping 19 FENTANYL TRAFFICKING CASES DROPPED OVER 7 DAYS IN ONE CITY. Why would 🇨🇦 do that? 🤷‍♂️ Police bust massive rings, it makes the news, the gov drops charges. What fentanyl trafficking? There’s no convictions. 🙄 https://t.co/svn1t4Od8Q

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

11/ remember the time firefighters accidentally stumbled in a stash of fentanyl large enough to wipe out Toronto? Weird how he person lived w/the brother of the Danforth shooter—who totally wasn’t a terrorist. Just a lonely guy who shot people at random. Oh that reminds me…

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

“🇨🇦 doesn’t have fentanyl problem. 🇺🇸 only seized 19 kgs at the border.” lol. Yeah, no. Firefighters accidentally found multiples of that in some dude’s apartment. The brother of Toronto’s Danforth Mass Shooter lived there… <thread> 🧵👇 https://t.co/Re7BxmsPIM

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

12/ 🇨🇦 doesn’t have murders but a lot of folks overdose. In fact, a lot are OD-ing with no known drug history. Randomly. Weird. Anyway, hot shotting is when a person kills another by overdosing them unwittingly. A mom in B.C. fought to find that out from the gov.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

13/ I should wrap up, but I’ll leave you with this. Think it’s going to change? I asked Carney’s team if they had a plan to address fentanyl, and they unfollowed me. Team Fentanyl is now PM. So good luck kids, this problem is going to get a lot worse real fast.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

Hey @MarkJCarney, does your platform have a plan to deal w/the laundering & fentanyl? I think 🇨🇦 would love to hear it since you may be PM in as little as 2 months. Pierre’s voiced concern. Freeland demonstrated she’s #TeamFentanyl by hiding the HSBC investigation.

reSee.it AI Summary

In 2024, Canada experienced its largest drug bust, uncovering a $500 million operation involving Chinese triads, Iranian mafias, and Mexican cartels. The bust in Falkland revealed enough fentanyl to kill every Canadian twice. Law enforcement found significant quantities of drugs, cash, and firearms, indicating a sophisticated global conspiracy. Canada’s weak laws and port security facilitated this operation, raising concerns about national security and the opioid crisis. The geopolitical implications are alarming, prompting questions about government accountability and systemic vulnerabilities.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The largest drug bust in Canadian history was in 2024. And it revealed a global superpower conspiracy: • Chinese triads • Iranian mafias • Mexican cartels How they built a $500 MILLION empire in plain sight—in Canada:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

It all came down in a small town called Falkland, British Columbia. Law enforcement found enough product and chemicals to make 95.5 million lethal doses of fentanyl. Enough to kill every Canadian—TWICE. This is just the tip of the iceberg...

Speaker 0: Producing an unprecedented amount of illicit drugs. In total they recovered almost 400 kilos of meth, fifty four kilos of fentanyl plus smaller amounts of MDMA and cocaine. And That's just the stuff that was ready, waiting to be shipped out. Investigators say this lab had enough source material on hand to potentially triple that output. Speaker 1: These enforcement actions have undoubtedly saved thousands of lives in Canada. It has also served to deny this transactional organized crime group an estimated $485,000,000 in profits.

What the RCMP found was unreal: • $500,000 in cash • 54 kg of pure fentanyl • 390 kg of methamphetamine • 89 firearms including AR-15s • All the precursor chemicals needed to make their 95.5 million doses The most shocking part?

Video Transcript AI Summary

The RCMP mentioned a suspected connection to a Mexican cartel but didn't provide further details. An ex-RCMP organized crime unit member believes the operation involves significant international contacts, including cartel, Chinese, and Iranian networks, characterizing it as a corporation rather than a gang operation. Reports indicate increasing cooperation between international drug gangs, moving beyond the old narrative of them fighting each other. The RCMP stated the drugs were primarily destined for markets abroad. Vancouver's port infrastructure makes it attractive for cartels seeking to expand into the Asia Pacific market, which includes countries like China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Speaker 0: So the RCMP brought up that suspected connection to the Mexican cartel. They wouldn't go into much more detail about who else might be involved. So we asked someone who used to run the RCMP's transnational organized crime unit what he thought. Speaker 1: I think they've gotta have significant, contacts in different parts of the world. I'd be looking at the, cartel networks, the Chinese networks, the Iranian networks. But whoever it is, you know, looking at the quantity, that's a corporation. That's not gangs. Speaker 2: We're hearing more and more people who follow gangs and report on gangs, at least, here in BC, that there are these international connections. That the old, narrative of these international drug gangs fighting each other is is that. It's old. More and more they are cooperating. Speaker 0: The RCMP was also clear that these drugs, for the part, were headed for other countries. They were destined for abroad, and I can't elaborate quite yet because it's an ongoing investigation, but they were destined for a market abroad. Speaker 1: If the cartels want to expand and operate to the new markets the Asia Pacific area. Vancouver has the logistical infrastructure, I. E. Ports, to access this new market, you know, that they haven't really tapped into in the last several decades, I e, Asia Pacific, 3 Billion people. Speaker 0: Asia Pacific meaning countries like China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, all to say

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

This wasn't just some local drug operation. It was a massive global conspiracy involving: • Chinese triads providing chemicals • Mexican cartels sharing production methods • Iranian-linked groups collaborating with traffickers How does this get built right under our noses?

Video Transcript AI Summary

The discovery of several tons of unregulated chemicals believed to be used to produce P2P is of particular concern. P2P is a heavily controlled precursor and base ingredient used to make meth. Finding evidence that this group was manufacturing P2P from scratch is significant. Producing large quantities of chemicals requires people with chemical knowledge, such as a chemical engineer who's been working in industry. It could be a very well organized situation. The TV series Breaking Bad showed this method.

Speaker 0: They were actually making their own, which is a whole other level of expertise. And of particular concern is the discovery of several tons of unregulated chemicals believed to be used to produce P2P. P2P is one of those precursors we talked about. It's one of the base ingredients used to make meth. It is a heavily controlled substance, and because of that, it's hard to find. It's also hard to make. So finding evidence that this group was manufacturing p two p from scratch, that's like the RCMP cracking an art heist and finding the Mona Lisa. Speaker 1: You do need to have people who have some chemical knowledge, especially when producing large quantities of chemicals. So you might have what's called a chemical engineer who's been working in industry and he knows what it involves. It could be a very well organized situation. Speaker 0: As most people know from the TV series or Breaking Bad, that was their method.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

And why Canada? Our ports have minimal security. Our money laundering laws are weak. Unlike the US, we don't have RICO laws to take down criminal enterprises. We're basically rolling out the red carpet for these guys:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The Chinese triads are the masterminds behind the chemical supply. They get tax rebates from the CCP to produce fentanyl precursors. You read that right. The Chinese government is subsidizing chemicals killing North Americans. This is asymmetric warfare.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Iranian networks collaborate with Chinese triads to smuggle these chemicals through Canadian ports. RCMP and US officials have confirmed these connections. It gets even more sinister when you look at the muscle behind the operation...

The "biggest and most sophisticated drug lab in Canadian history" has been dismantled in rural British Columbia. The RCMP seized 89 firearms, including a 50-caliber sniper rifle, restricted handguns, and AR-15 style rifles. Authorities seized 54 kilos of fentanyl, 390 kilos of meth, 35 kilos of cocaine, and 15 kilos of MDMA. The precursor chemicals and finished fentanyl products seized could have amounted to 95,000,000 potentially lethal doses of fentanyl. The lab was located in Falkland, about 40 kilometers west of Vernon, and raids were also conducted in Surrey, where most of the guns were found. Investigators believe there is a connection to cartels in Mexico and transnational criminals. Police seized half a million dollars in cash.

Speaker 0: What is being called the biggest and most sophisticated drug lab in Canadian history is being dismantled after a massive takedown in rural British Columbia. As CTV's Ben Melter reports, Mounties believe the super lab is connected to transnational criminals. Speaker 1: This is a war weapon. Speaker 2: This 50 caliber sniper rifle, one of 89 firearms seized by Mounties, including restricted handguns and AR 15 style rifles. It's all part of an investigation into what the RCMP calls the largest and most sophisticated drug lab in Canadian history. Speaker 1: The precursor chemical in combination with the finished fentanyl products seized at this location could have amounted to 95,000,000 potentially lethal doses of fentanyl. Speaker 2: In addition to 54 kilos of fentanyl, police also seized 390 kilos of meth, thirty five kilos of cocaine, and 15 kilos of MDMA. Police say the lab was busted in the small community of Falkland, about 40 kilometers west of Vernon. After a months long investigation on Friday, officers conducted simultaneous raids on that property and two in Surrey, which is where they found most of the guns. Based on the techniques used to make the drugs, investigators believe there is a connection to cartels in Mexico, but would not get more specific. Speaker 1: These are high highly motivated, highly sophisticated criminals whose allegiances change, and they'll make deals with other groups and these kinds of things. But you heard me make mention today about Mexican cartels and transnational criminals. Speaker 2: Police don't believe the drugs were intended for sale in Canada or The United States but would not say what countries they were destined for, saying that would compromise ongoing investigations. Police also seized half a million dollars in cash. Despite the scale of the operation and the size of the weapons cash, only one person has been arrested so far. Gaginpreet Randhawa faces six drug and weapons charges, and police say he remains in custody. Ben Mildred, CTV News, Vancouver.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The RCMP conducted raids in Falkland and Surrey, BC, dismantling what they call the biggest super lab in Canadian history. The operation seized a mountain of meth, cocaine, MDMA, fentanyl, and an arsenal of weapons, denying a transactional organized crime group an estimated $485 million in profits. The sophisticated operation, located on a rural property in Falkland, was capable of producing large quantities of meth and fentanyl. Thousands of kilograms of precursor chemicals, linked to Mexican cartels, were also seized. The drugs were believed to be destined for abroad, not the US. This bust is connected to another in Enderby, where 30,000 kilograms of precursor chemicals were seized. Only one man, Gaginpreet Singh Randhawa, has been arrested and faces six counts related to weapons and drugs, but the RCMP is promising more arrests. Mexican cartels operate in Canada through proxies. The cleanup of the Falkland property could cost over $1 million.

The rundown exterior hiding a sophisticated operation that was capable of pumping out huge quantities of meth and fentanyl. Investigators also seizing thousands of kilograms of precursor chemicals, specifically chemicals used in a process tied to Mexican cartels. The drugs believed to be mostly for export, but according to the RCMP, the destination was not The US. Speaker 1: They were destined for abroad, and I can't elaborate quite yet because it's an ongoing investigation. Speaker 0: All of these guns and drugs were seized at locations in Surrey and Falkland, BC. According to the RCMP, this bus tied to another one at the October in Enderby, where 30,000 kilograms of precursor chemicals were seized. The Enderby Bust and the Falkland Bust this past weekend, part of a much larger transnational criminal organization operating in BC. The super lab set up to run for weeks without resupplying the input chemicals. But despite the sophistication and size of the operation, only one man has been arrested, Gaginpreet Singh Randhawa, facing six counts related to weapons and drugs. The RCMP promising more arrests. Speaker 1: Mexican cartels, don't have their headquarters located in Canada, but they have proxies that operate in Canada, elsewhere. And, those are the people that we're focused on and, aim to, bring to justice. Speaker 0: Investigators are still on scene in Falkland. Now that the super lab has been dismantled, the cost to clean up this rural property could top $1,000,000. Aaron MacArthur, Global News.

Our ports are another massive vulnerability. Most drugs move from Mexico to Canada, then into the northwest United States on ships. We have almost no port enforcement. So the US doesn't know what's coming in beyond what their intelligence sources can gather.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

But then you follow the money... These networks launder drug profits through Canadian real estate and banks. About 90% of all money laundering in the US is tied to China. And where do those networks operate from? Canada. Specifically, Toronto. The consequences go deep:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The output from just this one lab could have made the opioid crisis exponentially worse. We're already seeing 200+ deaths DAILY in North America from opioids. It's not just a drug problem—it's a national security threat. But there's something else to consider:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The geopolitical angle can't be ignored. When Chinese state-linked companies provide chemicals... When biker gangs are hired to assassinate political figures... When Iranian networks collaborate with traffickers... It's about destabilizing our society. So what's being done?

The speaker claims Canada is in dire straits, citing Maxim Vermeer as the "Trump candidate" in their upcoming election, despite media focus on Mark Carney. Pierre Pauliev is described as a "Libtard" who opposes Trump's tariffs. Canada's economy is allegedly failing with zero GDP growth in ten years. Alberta and Quebec are reportedly considering referendums to secede, potentially joining the United States. The speaker criticizes Canadians for being too passive, particularly regarding the prosecution of a trucker convoy participant. The speaker suggests Canada's only hope is for Alberta to secede and become a U.S. state, with other provinces following suit. Trump's endorsement of Mark Carney is interpreted as a strategic move to destabilize Canada and pave the way for its annexation by the U.S., preventing it from becoming communist.

Speaker 0: Canada's fucked. Tucker had Maxim Vermeer on. I can't pronounce his name. He's a French Canadian dude, but he is actually the Trump candidate in their upcoming election. You wouldn't know that because the communist controlled media up there in Canada has only put up fucking Mark Carney, the dude who ain't even from Canada, who has just been installed behind Trudeau and Pierre Pauliev. And people like, the Canadians, you guys need to understand. Pierre Pauliev, he isn't a conservative in any sense of the word. If you brought Pierre Pauliev down to America, he would be a Libtard. That dude is such a fucking Libtard that he makes our Lindsey Graham look like an actual fucking conservative. Pierre Pauliev is like campaigning on, we're gonna fight Trump and his tariffs, and we're gonna fight back Canada. Get a fucking clue. You are a tiny fuck off country. You might have a big landmass, but you got no fucking population. You got the worst economy in the entirety of the developed nations. That's right. Canada has seen zero GDP growth. Zero in ten years. That's abysmal. Africa has better GDP growth. There there is multitudes of fucking problems up there in Canada. The the smallest one is like, they keep just cutting off their own dick because they have unlimited resources up there, and their Libtard government won't let them use any of them. They they extort Alberta nonstop through these equalization payments to prop up all these other anyway, I'm getting lost in the weeds there. Maxim Vermeer explained a couple different things. I was under the impression that only Alberta was making motions to, hold a referendum vote for independence and possibly secede into America. But he says that there is a large movement also in Quebec to do the same thing. Like, so that's two provinces in Canada that are making real world moves to get the fuck out of Canada. Yeah. That's that's me and they're honest to God. The Canadian people, you're too fucking nice. Like, how you have not stood up for that dude that they are prosecuting for the trucker convoy. You know, that guy, he stood up for all Canadians, and none of you none of you have come to his aid. Like, a very few small of you. You guys are all too nice. You are all too nice. For one, I guess, you ain't got no guns left, so, well, that was your first fucking problem. You're you're Canada's only hope is for Alberta to secede to The United States, become the fifty first country fifty first state, and then hopefully the rest of the provinces will fall and join in as other fucking states because Trump isn't fucking joking. That is Canada's only hope at this point. And I think that's why Trump endorsed Mark Carney, one, to fuck with the Liberals because the Liberals have to vote for Mark Carney, and they're gonna be like, woah. Why did Trump endorse him? Because Mark Carney being the prime minister of Canada is the fastest way for Canada to become part of The United States because once the economy falls and the whole country crumbles, which is literally what it's doing, you know. And Mark Carney's trying to put you under the Chinese flag. So if you wanna go full Chinatistan, then go ahead, vote for Mark Carney. But America, we cannot allow our neighbors to the north to become, you know, full blown communist. We can't have communist on our borders. So you guys can either vote and do it easy way, or we're just gonna have to come up there and fucking liberate your asses. Good luck to my Canadian friends. To the rest of you, long live this beautiful republic.

Things are wild in my city, with organized crime infiltrating every corner. Many residents are unaware of the severity, facing soaring housing costs, rising car thefts, and violence linked to drug trafficking. Money laundering, particularly through casinos and housing, has skewed home prices. Organized crime groups are so powerful that law enforcement is hesitant to act. The solution could lie in implementing RICO laws, which have proven effective elsewhere. Surprisingly, there's newfound interest in these laws from political leaders after decades of inaction.

4/ Speaking of casinos & housing—let’s talk about car thefts. In 2017 🇨🇦’s fin crime intel warned the gov that the world’s largest car theft gang set up shop in ON. It was washing cash in *drumroll* casinos & housing. Total mystery how that played out.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

Notice a surge in car thefts? 🙋‍♂️ Many are exported to Africa. You know those Nigerian Price emails? Same folks. An "ultra-violent cult" from Nigeria built one of the most complex criminal networks in history & you'll never guess how they wash money. <thread> 🧵👇

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

5/ Fentanyl has been a wild controversy since we’re pretending it isn’t because the 🇺🇸 is. Asia’s “El Chapo” was from Toronto’s burbs. 🇨🇦’s largest banks have been implicated in operations. The head of the trade is a former Team 🇨🇦 snowboarder. Monthly super lab busts.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

Neither 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 are saying what the drug-border conflict is about out loud, so I guess I’ll do it. This is about 🇨🇦’s trucking industry & Ontario’s truck driving schools that popped up overnight. <thread> 🧵👇

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

6/ things are so wild in 🇨🇦 rn that it had to arrest its top spy for working with a global money launderer. It tired to bury the story. & I don’t thin hens serving time in prison. He’s preparing to appeal since 🇨🇦 doesn’t have laws to address its highest spy working against it.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

How bad is 🇨🇦's corruption? 🇺🇸 arrested the CEO of a Vancouver-based company selling encrypted phones to the cartel & terrorists. They allege an RCMP mole had been leaking info to him. The alleged mole? Former director-general of National Intelligence, w/access to Five Eyes.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

7/ speaking of free range criminals, 🇨🇦 is the only place where you can see war criminals mingle with mafia dons, dragon heads, & terrorists. Global crime considers it neutral territory, so they meet here. Heck, top global assassins have even arrived on student visas recently.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

Fun fact: 🇨🇦 issues student visas to anyone with a few bucks. Here’s a quick thread on the hundreds of criminals that organized crime groups set up in 🇨🇦 using student visas. <thread> 🧵👇

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

8/ the prevalence of organized crime & apathy around it led to the capture of government. 🇨🇦’s intel agency estimates organized crime groups infiltrated government & inflate contracts by 50% on avg. We know QC has a problem because it looked into it. Places like NS never will.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

6/ It’s not just BC. In 🇨🇦, every jokes that driving on a bad road is like visiting Montreal. When I began working w/anti-corruption orgs, I learned bad roads in cities w/huge road budgets are a sign of corruption. In 2009, 🇨🇦 got confirmation why. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/montreal-mafia-controls-80-per-cent-of-road-contracts-whistleblower-says/article4288973/

Montreal Mafia controls 80 per cent of road contracts, whistleblower says Radio-Canada hears of widespread corruption in the supposedly sealed bidding process for construction work theglobeandmail.com

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

9/ It gets wilder. Organized crime is now so powerful in 🇨🇦 that law enforcement & gov are too scared to pursue it. Seriously. It won’t even try to pursue charges for certain crimes in some regions, and provinces like Ontario drop most charges.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

People think 🇨🇦 is lax on money laundering because it’s good for the economy. Nope. It’s so much worse. The lax enforcement turned into organized crime capturing 🇨🇦. The legal system is now too scared to act. Seriously. <thread> 🧵👇

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

10/ all of these problems can be targeted with a single tool—RICO laws. They allow the pursuit of criminal orgs based on a pattern of associates. It makes it easier to prosecute. Even if not used, they become a major deterrent. 🇺🇸’s implementation cleaned up NYC in the 70s.

@StephenPunwasi - Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️

11/ 🇨🇦 has really wanted to implement RICO laws too, but it couldn’t find the time in the past 50 years. I was surprised to see that @PierrePoilievre suggested RICO-like laws in his platform today. I didn’t even see it in the NDP platform, & that seems right up their alley.

Tariffs on foreign imports may first appear patriotic—protecting American products and jobs—and sometimes they work for a short time.

They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. The memory of all this occurring back in the thirties made me determined when I came to Washington to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Now it hasn't always been easy. There are those in the Congress, just as there were back in the thirties, who want to go for the quick political advantage, who risk America's prosperity for the sake of a short term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5,000,000 American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business and additional millions are tied to imports.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Canada is described as sweeping the fentanyl issue under the rug by sources in the show, despite public moves like appointing a fentanyl czar and increasing northern border patrols after pressure from Trump and Kash Patel. The guest says Canadian law enforcement acknowledge the issue but feel resources are insufficient to crack down on transnational crime, with a sense that “the root of the problem” is not being addressed. The guest reports that the planning and production of fentanyl have shifted to Canada, with cartel operatives setting up labs there. They describe how cartels, after crackdowns on the southern border, moved operations into Canada where a visa is not needed for a tourist entry, allowing quick setup and networking with preexisting Canadian gangs such as the Hells Angels, Brother’s Keepers, Red Scorpion, and United Nations gang. Precursors come through the Port of Vancouver, where less than 1% of cargo is inspected, enabling easy importation of chemicals. The guest asserts that the majority of fentanyl production now occurs in Canada, with a claim of 99% certainty, and cites an operative for the Sinaloa Cartel in Canada showing labs on West Coast resources. Labs are described as often in suburban areas on farmland or small residences, not just in large urban centers. The production is said to have started in 2016-2017 as cartel operations moved into Canada, with ongoing Canadian law enforcement aware since then but under-resourced to counter transnational crime groups. The RCMP head reportedly estimated thousands of organized crime groups, but CSA’s Canadian intelligence suggests 668, highlighting a disconnect between agencies. The main cartel presence in Canada is labeled as Sinaloa and CJNG, with CJNG now possibly dominant due to Sinaloa’s weakening position and alliance with New Generation Cartel. The Canadian fentanyl flow includes enforcers recruited from Canada, including Quebec and Ontario, who manage payments, protection, and border activities to facilitate drug movement and violence. Recruitment extends globally to the Balkans, Armenia, Australia, England, and other Commonwealth countries to leverage foreign nationals who can blend in and avoid detection. Group chats reveal Canadian area codes and explicit hits-for-hire offers, with examples of payments (e.g., 55,000 Canadian dollars for a hit) and weapon procurement requirements. The border dynamics are described as significant: the northern border remains underprotected, allowing cross-border trafficking. The guest mentions that, even with a U.S. military or law enforcement option, the cartel leadership central to the operation would resist intensely if confronted on Mexican soil, implying that a direct US-backed intervention could be costly and dangerous for the cartel. A notable case described is a “BC Superlab,” a large, sophisticated operation producing meth and fentanyl, recovered in rural BC and Surrey, BC. Authorities found 400 kilograms of meth, 54 kilograms of fentanyl, plus MDMA and cocaine, plus 46 handguns, 21 AR-15 style rifles, 14 submachine guns, two .50 cal rifles, explosives, body armor, and nearly $1 million in cash. The lab’s equipment included jacketed reactors and other specialized items, with large quantities of precursors (5,000 liters of liquid precursor and 10 tons of powder) and evidence they may have been producing P2P, a key meth precursor. The RCMP described the operation as extremely sophisticated, with a network of metal ducting to vent fumes and a setup suggesting an international cross-border network with potential ties to Mexican cartel operations and other global criminal networks. Health Canada is testing unusual equipment to see if it signals new production methods. Investigators emphasize that the drugs were destined for abroad and that Vancouver’s infrastructure could facilitate expansion into Asia-Pacific markets, including China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. Despite the scale of the operation, only one person had been arrested at the time of reporting, underscoring the magnitude of the challenge and the global reach of the drug networks. Overall, the conversation frames Canada as a critical, expanding node in an international fentanyl production and distribution network, with entrenched organizational complexity, cross-border logistics, and multilingual, multinational recruitment that complicates enforcement.

Speaker 0: Is there any anything that Canada has been doing to combat this at all, or they're just trying to sweep it under the rug? Speaker 1: I think they're sweeping it under the rug. I think since Trump tried to say, you know, we gotta crack down on the northern border and Kesh Patel has been putting a lot of pressure, they've been doing these sort of public things, like, you know, the appointing of fentanyl czar, amping up the amount of border patrol at the northern border. But in terms of really getting to the root of the problem, it's being swept under the rug. And a lot of folks that I've spoken to in Canadian law enforcement agree with that notion. Speaker 0: Welcome to the show. Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. Speaker 0: Man, you are getting some, like, amazing content down there with the cartels and and reporting on all that stuff. Speaker 1: I asked them, you know, what do you think about Trump calling you and the people you work with in your networks terrorists? And how is this going to impact you? And it's so funny because I had anticipated the this reaction, but I didn't think that I should do this. We don't care. We're just gonna wait four years. It's not that deep. Speaker 0: Interesting. So what do you think? What is the plan then? Are they just gonna are they gonna stop running fentanyl across the border? Speaker 1: I mean, fentanyl numbers have been going down, but I don't think that's the plan. The plan is to move operations, and I've been reporting on this extensively. It's all happening in Canada now. No one else is clocking it, and it's so obvious. It started during Trump's first administration when he first started cracking down on the Southern border. Cartels knew they could go into Canada, and they didn't need a visa like they needed to get into The US. It was just a regular tourist visa. They didn't need to apply for anything or pay for anything. They could just go get their tourist like, have a regular tourist visa the way I come to The United States, set up shop, negotiate and network with pre existing organized crime groups in Canada, whether that be the Hells Angels, a big one, or Brother's Keepers or Red Scorpion or the United Nations gang, and say, hey, look, you guys have incredible access. Okay? Over 5,000 miles of practically unprotected border into The United States. We can produce this product here and traffic it. Not to mention, a lot of these preexisting gangs were have have a large Asian populations. And what do we have in Vancouver? The Port Of Vancouver. And where are the fentanyl precursors coming in? From China. So you move these precursors. The movement is now is come no no longer coming into Mexico. It's coming into Canada. You set up shop. You increase profit. You tell all these guys that are already there, hey. Look. If you let us Sinaloa or Jalisco in to work with you guys, we're going to quadruple profits. Speaker 0: So wait. You're saying that no more are you saying in addition to Mexico produced fentanyl or it's all moved to Canada? Speaker 1: I think the majority has moved to Canada. Speaker 0: The majority of it's moved to Canada? Speaker 1: Yes. I am 99% sure about that because you can never be a 100% sure, but I am so sure about that. Last summer, I wanted to crack down on this story because I had an an individual reach out to me who was an operative for the Sinaloa Cartel working in Canada, running these labs. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: And he showed me the labs that the Sinaloa Cartel is operating with Physically? Yep. Speaker 0: What are they where are they putting them? Speaker 1: They're putting them in suburban, sort of so in in they're particularly in the West Coast, in BC and in Alberta, which is, like, a prairie province. So there's a lot of farmland, and it's residential. And prior this, it was meth labs that they had running out there. And there would always be a random meth lab explosion in Abbotsford. This is a smaller city. And then these turned into fentanyl labs that were completely under the radar because we also didn't have Canadian law enforcement, like, patrolling these areas to an extent that they would patrol, like, a large city like Vancouver or Toronto. So you're bringing in precursors from the Port Of Vancouver easily because less than 1% of cargo that comes into the Port Of Vancouver is actually inspected by authorities or Speaker 0: Less than how much? Speaker 1: Less than 1%. Speaker 0: Less than 1%. Speaker 1: An official number. Yes. So the majority of the cargo that's coming into the Port Of Vancouver is unmonitored, and you have longshoremen that are on organized crime payroll or turning a blind eye. These precursors are being brought to labs throughout the Lower Mainland, and they are producing fentanyl there. And it started off as distributing this product throughout Canada because just like The United States, there has been this insatiable appetite for fentanyl in Canada. Mhmm. During the pandemic, more people at one point were dying of fentanyl overdose deaths than from COVID. So, that was a major health crisis. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: And then, there's this major crackdown at the southern border. You already have cartel operatives established in the North. You have five over 5,000 miles of practically unprotected border. You know, it's Greenland, and, you can fly across. You can drive your boat across. You can drive your dirt bike across. And that just left it as open field for these members of organized crime to start to bring their operations to the next level by trafficking everything into The United States. And it's important to keep in mind that Canadian law enforcement knows this is happening, very aware, has been aware since around 2017. Speaker 0: Oh, this has been happening since 2017? Speaker 1: It's been happening, yeah, 2016. Wow. It's this has been I would say for the past ten years exactly is when cartel operatives from Mexico started to move operations into Canada. Law enforcement knows this is happening, but Canadian law enforcement does not have the resources to crack down on this. Speaker 0: How many precursors are there? Do you know? Speaker 1: No. I don't I don't know how to make fentanyl. But it's fairly simple. Speaker 0: How big are these labs? I mean, when you're when you say when you say a, you know, a meth lab, that's usually what, like a trailer out the middle of a field? Speaker 1: A lot of these are just small, like single occupancy homes. Speaker 0: Okay. Are So a farmhouse. Speaker 1: Yes. Exactly. Some of them are Speaker 0: they buying the farmland? Speaker 1: Yeah. Or they're renting it from so a lot of the farmland is owned by certain families. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: And they will rent out these these plots of land or whatever little house is already on this land. A way that the Canadian authorities crack down on members of organized crime is not through directly charging them with producing or conspiracy to traffic. They will crack down on their their ownership of a home, and then they they no longer have a place to run operations. So that home gets taken away. It's that particular real estate is under investigation, along with the people, but it it operates a little bit differently, and it it hinders the way that they're able to work. But mentioning the the law enforcement is even though they know that this is going on, the resources just are not there. And I have a really good source who is with the RCMP, that's Canada's National Police Force, and he specializes in organized crime. And we talk about that one percent of fentanyl number very frequently because, he says, neither my colleagues nor myself believed that number because we have seen so many operations go under the radar, especially when they're working undercover. And I said, well, why isn't there a crackdown then? Why aren't they stopping it? And why is the Canadian government only implementing a fentanyl czar when Trump is telling them to crackdown, not when thousands of people are dying on a monthly basis from fentanyl use? And he explicitly tells me it's because they just don't have the means to do it. They haven't even been able to crack down on local gangland. How are they now supposed to focus on transnational crime organizations? The head of RCMP was asked just recently, how many organized crime groups, individual organized crime groups, do you think are operating in Canada right now? And he responds, it's on video. I I don't have a number off the top of my head. I think 4,000. Speaker 2: How many, to the RCMP, how many people do you estimate are involved in production and distribution of fentanyl in Canada? Do you have, like, a ballpark estimate? Is it a thousand people? Is it 10,000 people? I I don't have a ballpark figure on it. So you have no idea how many people could possibly be involved in the fentanyl trade in Canada? There's a significant group see, it's a significant number of organized crime group, but if you're asking for a specific number, I I can't give you a specific number. How many organized crime groups are involved? Over 4,000 organized crime groups in Canada as assessed by the Criminal Intelligence Service of Speaker 3: Canada. Speaker 2: 4,000 individual organized crime groups all with their own distinct leadership and membership? That's correct. Speaker 1: And so the question is clarified. There are 4,000 organized crime groups operating in Canada with their own individual leadership and networks, and the head of the RCMP said, yes. I I would say so. Around 4,000. Speaker 0: Who do you think the key players are putting these putting these labs in up there? Sinaloa cartel? Which cartel? Speaker 1: It's Sinaloa and CNG. But let me just finish that point about the 4,000 because this goes to show the disconnect between, Canadian law enforcement in Canada because it's actually 668 individual organized crime groups. That's according to CSA's Canadian version of CIA. So imagine if you have this disconnect where our national police force does it is is just pulling out a random number. How are you even supposed to crack down on these people and these groups? But, yes, it's mostly Sinaloa and CJNG that are in Canada. I would say now it's likely probably just CJNG simply due to the fact that Sinaloa does not have the power the numbers to maintain their stronghold, and they've entered into an alliance with New Generation Cartel. Speaker 0: Interesting. They made an alliance with them. Speaker 1: I think it's a proxy alliance. See or the Chapitos were pretty obviously losing the fight in this faction war that's been going on in the Sinaloa cartel since El Mayo was brought to The United States. And so I think CJ and G saw this as an opportunity to say, we will back you up, but we gained control over everything. And they are the first cartel in history to have control over every single Mexican state. Speaker 0: Interesting. Interesting. You know, back to my head's jumping around a lot. Sorry. Speaker 1: Sorry. I do that too. Speaker 0: Back to the back to declaring them terrorist organizations and they're saying, I mean, I totally understand what they're saying. You know, well, we'll just wait four years and everything will be finished. But I mean, there's another aspect too. There's, you know, there's always a potential that we send in SOCOM and JSOC units. I mean, do they have any fear of that? Speaker 1: I asked them about that, and they said that if American Special Forces lay their feet on Mexican soil, they will fight till the death because they will have nothing to lose. They will put up a fight. Will they win that fight? No. But they won't go down without a fight because that's really that's all they have. And so if if their entire livelihood and their entire business is being attacked, especially by US uniform operators who have every means to just completely squash it. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: They won't go down like a bitch. Speaker 0: I mean, down to what level, though? Know what I mean? Mean Speaker 1: To the very bottom. Speaker 0: To the very bottom. Speaker 1: Even even the local drug dealer. Yes. The guy who's a lookout who's making pennies. When I was in Sinaloa covering this fighting in the fall, there was the money flow was interrupted for, you know, all all levels of people working in it with for the cartels. And so, main people who you know, it's like that that necessary job that makes no money are the punteros, the lookouts, the guys on their dirt bikes who watch if if Mexican forces are coming, you know, they they keep their eyes out for whatever is going on. Those guys make the least amount of money. They're making around $500 a month. And when the infighting began, and all of this money and resources had to go to we need to maintain our stronghold, and we need to buy arms and and stockpile. These were the ones losing out. And so when I was there, once it got dark, I couldn't order, Uber Eats to my hotel because these guys were stealing the food from the delivery men because they didn't even have enough money to eat. But they were still working for the cartels. They wouldn't say, okay. You know what? Fuck this. I'm gonna go and work in a Walmart where I'm at least gonna make a steady income. It's not great, but I have something to pay for my basic needs. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: Because at that point, it's not just about the money. It's indoctrination. It's about being a part of something, feeling powerful, feeling like you've been validated and accepted by the very people who are responsible for thousands of deaths and the war on drugs. They're on the FBI's most wanted posters, and I work for that guy. Speaker 0: I guess it makes sense. I mean Speaker 1: It makes sense to them. We don't have to understand it. Speaker 0: Yeah. Wow. I thought there would be at least a little fear, but doesn't sound like they care at all. Speaker 1: I don't think they do. And based on what I've been told, that's what I was told at the border, whether I go and ask in Sinaloa or Jalisco or Michoacan or Guerrero, the consensus remains the same. And the people in charge are treated like gods. They are absolutely praised as if they are the one and only. I mean, that's why we see all the songs about Mhmm. El Mencho, El Chapo, El Mayo. And you can literally go to Sinaloa and buy, narco merch. You know, you got the hat with whoever's face on it. You can even buy, like, religious regalia that that is paying homage to narco leaders. Yes. And so, the people who work for them praise them. People who don't work for them praise them and want to work for them. So, if you're telling this 17 year old kid who has always wanted to be in this lifestyle, You're gonna die for me, and American forces are coming in. He'll stand up. He'll probably shit his pants, but he'll do it. He'll put on Wow. Face. Speaker 0: How many of these labs do you think have been set up in Canada? Do you have any estimation on that? Speaker 1: I think I don't know exactly how many labs are operating Canada, but the majority of the labs that are in Canada, which is significant because there is certainly a supply. There is no lack of drugs in Canada or The United States. Right? And especially in Northern states, too, where a lot of these drugs are coming into. I think the majority of them are being run by the cartels. And the interesting thing is, you won't really see it in the numbers or in, in police investigations or press releases because they don't keep track of which criminal organizations are operating what, like, labs. Mhmm. So, for example, you will, someone will be arrested. Three three men will be arrested for trafficking, arms, and drugs. They were arrested in a Surrey home in British Columbia, and we found x amount of drugs, X amount of arms, with this amount of street value. They won't say, Oh, you know, were operating on behalf of of the Sinaloa Cartel. They will say, We found messages in our investigation that they were operating with Mexican associates, and some people will then subsequently be charged, and there'll be Mexican nationals living in Canada. Those guys are working for the cartels. Mhmm. But Canadian authority doesn't keep track, or at least not publicly, of who is working with exactly which criminal organization. And I think that that also does play a role in allowing the cartels to flourish over there because they can operate so entirely under the radar. I mean, here in in The US, for the first time a few weeks ago, a woman in El Paso was arrested for particularly working as a straw buyer for CJNG. And this was the first case of someone in The US, with material to be charged as an FTO. In Canada, that wouldn't be the case. You wouldn't hear that, oh, she was directly working as an associate with the new generation cartel. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: But when you bring light to that, especially in a border place like El Paso, then everyone who's doing it is kind of on edge. And then they say, okay. Look. Hey. We're under a spotlight. But if that's not happening, you continue to operate like there's there's no spotlight on us. We don't need to worry because there isn't. Speaker 0: Do Canadians know this is happening? Speaker 1: Well, if they read my reporting, they know now. I mean, Kash Patel, director of the FBI, is now saying it publicly. He just said that, they're coming in through the Port Of Vancouver. They're producing fentanyl. The fentanyl is coming from Canada because they haven't secured the northern border. And when I initially started reporting on this and I was reaching out to RCMP and reaching out to CEISS and and putting out my contact, everyone was telling me, no. You're wrong. This can't be. And RCMP was telling me, we have no evidence to show that local criminal organizations are working directly with cartels. But I met with cartel associates in Canada showing me the production, telling me how they're doing it. And it goes back to what you asked me. Why are they telling me this? Because they wanna show you exactly how they're operating under the radar. They're so tough. Mhmm. And, oh, yeah. You secured our southern border? Fuck you. We moved to Canada. Speaker 0: How much is one of these labs producing? Did you do you know that? Speaker 1: Yeah. Like okay. So one batch will be, like, a $150,000 worth of fentanyl pills. And how many pills is Speaker 0: that? Any Speaker 1: It depends because it depends on the size of the pills. It depends on on on the the strength of of what their the strength of fentanyl in each pill. Speaker 0: I'm just trying to get an estimation of how much shit is coming through, you know, the Northern US Canadian border. But and then how fast do you think this is spreading? I mean, it sounds like right now it's pretty localized in Vancouver, but when's it gonna go, you know, more towards the other coast? Speaker 1: It is in the East Coast. It's not at the same level, but it certainly is at the in the East Coast. What I know what's happening for sure in the East Coast is a lot of people are being contracted by the cartels to and not Mexican people. Canadian nationals are being contracted by the cartels to operate as enforcers. A lot of people in Quebec and Ontario Speaker 0: What do you mean enforcer? What does that mean? It's like a hockey player. Speaker 1: It's like a Speaker 0: It protects the hockey team. Right? Speaker 1: They're protecting the the operations Speaker 0: so? What are they doing? Speaker 1: Taking out hits, threatening people, ensuring that the right individuals are being paid off, whether that be enforcement at the border so that guns can get across into Canada from The US, or fentanyl can go the other way. Speaker 0: How are they getting their people up there? Are they are they coming up through The US Yeah. And just keep going north, or are they flying them in? Speaker 1: So prior to Canada reimplementing the visa requirement, a lot of the Mexican nationals were flying directly into Canada. They completely would bypass The US. It was much easier that way because they wouldn't need a visa. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: Now it's a little bit different. Now, some of the operatives who were already based in The US are moving into Canada. Speaker 0: Okay. Speaker 4: Yeah. Speaker 1: And it's interesting because when I was I gained access to a few group chats that were run by the cartels on WhatsApp, Telegram. WhatsApp is, like, the starting point just because of the way the encryption is set up. They don't wanna talk about too much, but because it is so accessible, it's a great way to hire people, recruit people. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: And so I gained access to a group chat where they were basically recruiting people to work as enforcers for them, you know, managing certain logistics of the business, whether that's paying off authority, finding out who's who, getting the arms, finding the dealers, contracting straw buyers, whatever it may be. When I was in this group chat, the first thing that stood out to me was two of the phone numbers were Canadian area codes, one was Alberta and one was Toronto. And one of the individuals was directly asked if he could take out a hit if need be. He would be paid $55,000 Canadian. He would have to buy a Glock with three three mags, I think, it was. I have the screenshot. And there could be no kids around. And if he goes to the house, make sure that no family is around of the individual that needs to be killed. And so for a lot of these people, money was put on the table right away. You get into this group chat, whether that means you're going to be moving fentanyl pills into The US, whether that means you may have to take out a hit, or pay someone off, conducts any sort of logistics, it was, this is how much you'll make. Take it or leave it. And that was, for a lot of people, that first incentive. Now, for a lot of other folks, it was, I'm gonna be a part of the cartel. I For a lot of these people, they're kind of, outcasts. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: And they feel like power. They're, like, an aggressive person. And a lot of those type of guys who kinda had, like, a violent past, boxers, were being hired as cigarios. And the way they would be recruited into these group chats was either through social media. So, a lot of fake postings or postings on Facebook or TikTok that would allude to what they could become a part of, but also also just through, knowing someone, Speaker 0: word-of-mouth. Interesting. Speaker 1: Hey, my niece is dating this guy. He's been here from Mexico for around six years. He's making a ton of money. I know you're strapped for cash. Would you if you get a package and you just have to drive it across the border, go to the Sears or Walmart parking lot, someone's gonna pick it up, Don't look inside, and you're gonna get paid $70,000. Just go and come back. People will do it. Speaker 0: Damn. And Canada's not doing you you actually, on the outline, I saw that they are also recruiting from the Balkans. Yeah. Did I see that? Speaker 1: Yeah. Balkan states, Armenian guys too, a lot of ex gang members from over there, and in Australia too. I mean, at this recruiting from Australia? Speaker 0: Yeah. Really? Speaker 1: Yeah. Australia, England, like it seems like there's, like, this thing with the Commonwealth places is like Speaker 0: Why are they going to the I mean, why are it sounds like there's no shortage of people that wanna join the cartels. Speaker 1: There isn't, though. And that's what Speaker 0: So why are they recruiting out of Balkans? Speaker 1: Because they need an international stronghold. And so when you have people who don't look like you, don't talk like you, and come from different training backgrounds, they can fly under the radar a lot better. And they have access to different areas that certain Mexican operatives do not. So, say, for example, not that long ago, there was a blatant daylight shooting in in, Vancouver. A guy was killed. And he was he was shot by a Canadian man from Quebec. Super French name. This individual had spent years in Mexico and Colombia and was said to eventually work for the cartel, go to Canada, and take out this hit. Now how much better is it that you have a Canadian national taking out a hit? He knows where to go. He knows how law enforcement operates. He's from this place. He has access. The the chances that there's going to be a fuck up are a lot less. And, also, if you know that Canadian law enforcement is not directly attacking the cartels when when an associate who's not Mexican is operating for them, of course, you're going to have a a foreign person, a Canadian or an Australian or someone from England, take out the hit or commit the crime. Speaker 0: Yeah. Are they are they trying to spread into Europe and Armenia and Australia as well? I mean, is could that be another reason? Yeah. So they're making connections? Speaker 1: Yeah. And there are already Interpol reports of particularly CGNG having activity, having strongholds in Australia, in Western Europe, in Kenya. There was a people think I'm crazy when I talk about this, but they found a CG and G linked lab in Kenya, in Africa. Speaker 0: Wow. What the hell are they doing over there? Speaker 1: Producing and trafficking. It it's it's an international operation. And to me, it makes sense that they are moving everywhere because it's like what I said to catch me if you can. Speaker 0: Yeah. I mean, it makes sense to me with the I mean, I I guess it would in Kenya, I mean, I don't know how many people would be able to afford fentanyl, you know, but Speaker 1: But it's not about domestic distribution. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: It's about that production there and and being so far removed from where the Hawkeye view is, which is Canada, US, and Mexico, and being able to move the product outwards from there. Speaker 0: You know, the other thing is I'm not saying you're wrong by any means, Speaker 1: but It's okay. You can. Speaker 0: To me, it's it it doesn't make sense why they would pay a Canadian 55,000 Canadian dollars to to put a hit out on to assassinate somebody or or fly somebody in from the Balkans or Australia when we do know they don't give a shit about their people dying. You know, I mean, we've seen that for years, you know, they give them five minutes of trading and send them off to their work. Yeah. But, you know, and and so it it's just it's not very cost effective for them to to have to pay that price when they can just send somebody, you know, from a little Pueblo that has nothing into into Canada, US, anywhere they want, you know? Speaker 1: It's certainly not cost effective, but I think logistically, it works for them. You have a Canadian who's willing to commit these crimes for you on their soil. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: You completely avoid detection of that being the cartel. Speaker 0: Separate down Speaker 1: It does. Speaker 0: Until those people get interrogated. And, I mean Speaker 1: And they say they've been working with the cartels. And then in the in the RCMP information, they're saying, well, yeah, this person had connections with Mexican criminals. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: But Canadian authority isn't going after those criminals who put out the hit. Speaker 0: Man, what do you is there any anything that Canada has been doing to combat this at all, or they're just trying to sweep it under the rug? Speaker 1: I think they're sweeping it under the rug. I think since Trump tried to say, you know, we gotta crack down on the northern border and Kaj Patel has been putting a lot of pressure, they've been doing these sort of public things like, you know, the appointing of fentanyl czar, amping up the amount of border patrol at the northern border. But in terms of really getting to the root of the problem, it's being swept under the rug. And a lot of folks that I've spoken to in Canadian law enforcement agree with that Speaker 0: notion. Interesting. Speaker 1: And if I speak to any of my sources that are, you know, part of associates with the cartel operating in Canada, they feel like that it's business as usual. Speaker 0: Are they infiltrating I mean, how big are they getting into Canada? I mean, like, in The US, we know they're starting to get involved in politics, local police departments. A lot of them are joining the military to get the training and then get out. Speaker 1: I don't think that's happening yet and because I don't think it's necessary. I think that the way that they've set up shop is working for them, and they're not going to fix something that isn't broken and and risk losing what they have. Speaker 0: Okay. Okay. Speaker 1: And it's also important to keep in mind that there is evidence, and, you know, there's all these reports that come out from CSIS about Chinese intervention in Canadian politics and elections. And if the Mexican cartels are already directly working with the Chinese, there's no need for them to to go above them and try to get involved with Canadian politics. That's being done for them. Speaker 0: Interesting. Speaker 3: Imagine, you live in this tiny rural town of about a thousand people about an hour outside of Kam Loops, BC. One day, you wake up and there are hundreds of police officers swarming a rural property down your street. That property, you find out, is what police call the biggest, most sophisticated drug lab in Canadian history. Speaker 5: Like something out of Breaking Bad. It's just incredible. It's overwhelming. Speaker 6: People were just really stunned. Speaker 3: The RCMP calls this a super lab, producing an unprecedented amount of illicit drugs. In total, they recovered almost 400 kilos of meth, 54 kilos of fentanyl, that's tens of millions of doses, plus smaller amounts of MDMA and cocaine. And that's just the stuff that was ready waiting to be shipped out. Investigators say this lab had enough source material on hand to potentially triple that output. Speaker 7: These enforcement actions have undoubtedly saved thousands of lives in Canada. It has also served to deny this transactional crime group an estimated $485,000,000 in profits. Speaker 3: And this wasn't just about drugs. 400 kilometers away in Surrey BC, they also say they recovered 46 handguns, 21 AR 15 style rifles, 14 submachine guns, at least two fifty caliber rifles capable of shooting through concrete walls, explosives, body armor, and half $1,000,000 in cash. Speaker 6: When they laid them out, it it did look like, you know, enough firepower to arm a sizable militia, honestly. Speaker 3: But even all this risks missing the bigger picture because what also shocked investigators was just how elaborate the whole operation was, what it tells them about who might have been involved, and how far reaching this network might just be. Let's go through it. There was one word the RCMP kept using over and over to describe this lab. Speaker 7: It is extremely sophisticated. Highly sophisticated. Sophisticated. Speaker 3: So what do they mean by that? Well, here's a look at one of the rooms inside courtesy of the RCMP. We spoke to the head of the team investigating this super lab, and we reached out to two chemists with expertise in illicit drug manufacturing to try and break down what exactly was going on here and what makes this lab so sophisticated. Speaker 8: This one certainly had the equipment, certainly had the chemicals on hand and the precursors to continue a high level of production. Speaker 3: Let's start with equipment. Those big green jugs in the back probably caught your eye first. According to the RCMP, they're a type of chemical reactor, literally where ingredients are added and drugs are synthesized. Speaker 4: So we call them jacketed reactors, meaning that they're sort of a, like, a double wall. Outside that green that's kind of like a coolant system that keeps the reaction controlled in temperature. Speaker 3: Controlled, by the way, so that it doesn't explode. These are volatile compounds, and this is specialty equipment that you don't just walk into a hardware store and buy. The chemists we spoke to figure per machine the cost could be up to a $100,000. Speaker 9: They are often made especially for the, the drug producers because they are they are very large size, and they're sort of made to specification, if you like. And so it's a huge amount of investment, huge amount of money. Speaker 3: Then there's this. Not something police believe is used at all in the mass manufacture of illicit drugs. It looks more like an experimental setup, something you'd see in an R and D lab. Speaker 8: Is that piece of equipment there that, really gleaned my my attention? It's interesting because that that's a very scientific type of equipment. Typically, we don't see in a drug lab. Speaker 3: In fact, police in BC tell us they've never seen this in a meth or fentanyl lab before. One possibility they're considering is that criminals were using it to experiment, to come up with new, perhaps more potent types of fentanyl. Health Canada is even taking samples to confirm if that is the case. Speaker 8: And if it does, it potentially gets us, you know, an advanced notice of of maybe a future trend of drug production or a different method of drug production that that we haven't seen here before. Speaker 3: Here's another view of the lab from the RCMP, a different room. And this is a chemical minefield. These barrels, they should be chained to the walls so that they don't fall over. According to our experts, they're likely some kind of highly toxic, highly flammable solvent. And these white bags, most likely drug making ingredients so corrosive, you'd get a chemical burn just by touching it. But consider one other thing, what experts say is the most foundational ingredient, the one you can't make a drug without, and what's called a precursor. Speaker 4: So a precursor is basically sort of like a building block, of the molecule of the final molecule. So a lot of the precursors are now starting to make it on controlled substance lists on various countries, but it's still these cooks. When they want to cook something, they still find a way. Speaker 3: The RCMP says they found a significant volume of these precursor chemicals at this lab, about 5,000 liters of liquid precursor and 10 tons of powder, enough to continue to churn out meth and fentanyl for weeks, if not months, without having to restock. Speaker 7: It's not just, an average citizen that can wake up tomorrow and decide to import quantities of precursors. Speaker 8: I was surprised to see how much they had and how readily available they were able to access it. Speaker 3: But it wasn't just the existence or amount of precursor chemicals that startled the RCMP. It looks like they were actually making their own, which is a whole other level of expertise. Speaker 7: And of particular concern is the discovery of several tons of unregulated chemicals believed to be used to produce p two p. Speaker 3: P two p is one of those precursors we talked about. It's of the base ingredients used to make meth. It is a heavily controlled substance, and because of that, it's hard to find. It's also hard to make. So finding evidence that this group was manufacturing P2P from scratch, That's like the RCMP cracking an art heist and finding the Mona Lisa. Speaker 9: You do need to have people who have some chemical knowledge, especially when producing large quantities of chemicals. So you might have what's called a chemical engineer who's been working industry, and he knows what it involves. It could be a very well organized situation. Speaker 8: As most people know from the TV series or Breaking Bad, that was their their method. Speaker 3: If you're a Breaking Bad fan, you might remember Walt starts out his meth making career by using pseudoephedrine as a precursor. That's in sinus medicine. This has been the most common route in North America over the past few decades. But a few seasons in, Walt links up with Gus who connects him with a p two p dealer. And it's p two p that lets him suddenly create a much purer product with much better margins. And I promise I'm going somewhere with this because eventually, him and Jesse link up with the Mexican cartel and find out that they actually make their own p two p. Speaker 7: They synthesize their own. What? The p two p manufacturing method has been the prior method primary method used by Mexican cartels to produce methamphetamine for years. This brought the level of sophistication of this operation to an unprecedented level, certainly in Western Canada, if not the entire country. Speaker 3: If we go back inside the BC Superlab, the chemists we spoke to suspect that's what may have been going on inside this room here. You can see the network of metal ducting they installed, which looks like it's meant to channel fumes outside. Making p two p can create some seriously toxic gases. Again, probably not something a low level Canadian gang would try and attempt. Speaker 6: And so what that suggests and what the RCMP is saying is that, you know, this is a multi international cross border operation with fingers into all sorts of places. Speaker 3: So the RCMP brought up that suspected connection to the Mexican cartel. They wouldn't go into much more detail about who else might be involved. So we asked someone who used to run the RCMP's Transnational Organized Crime Unit what he thought. Speaker 5: I think they've gotta have significant, contacts in different parts of the world. I'd be looking at the cartel networks, the Chinese networks, the Iranian networks. But whoever it is, you know, looking at the quantity, that's a corporation. That's not gangs. Speaker 6: We're hearing more and more people who follow gangs and report on gangs, at least here in BC, that there are these international connections. That the old narrative of these international drug gangs fighting each other is is that it's old. More and more they are cooperating. Speaker 3: The RCMP was also clear that these drugs, for the most part, were headed for other countries. Speaker 7: They were destined for abroad, and I can't elaborate quite yet because it's an ongoing investigation, but they were destined for a market abroad. Speaker 5: If the cartels want to expand and operate to the new markets in the Asian Pacific area, Vancouver has the logistical infrastructure, I e ports, to access this new market, you know, that they haven't really tapped into in the last several decades, I e, Pacific, 3,000,000,000 people. Speaker 3: Asia Pacific meaning countries like China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand. All to say, everyone we spoke to believes the scale of this operation is immense and something that should give people pause, especially considering only one person has been arrested so far.
