The Prime Minister is under fire for his "radical liberalization of hard drugs," specifically the decriminalization of fentanyl, crack, and heroin in partnership with the BCNDP, and lowered jail sentences for fentanyl producers. Eighty percent of fentanyl ingredients enter Canada unregulated, threatening the trade relationship with the U.S. The Prime Minister is accused of scoring "cheap political points" instead of delivering solutions based on science, compassion, and a public health approach to the toxic drug epidemic. The opposition claims it is irresponsible to allow unregulated fentanyl ingredients into the country and to decriminalize hard drugs, which has allegedly led to increased deaths. They also allege that the Prime Minister, along with the Bloc and NDP, recently voted in favor of a committee report to decriminalize fentanyl nationwide. The question is raised whether the Prime Minister opposes the decriminalization of the export.

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, originates from China and is trafficked into the US by cartels. Fentanyl analogs like Carfentanil and Xylazine are mixed with Fentanyl, causing severe harm to users. Cartels use various methods to smuggle Fentanyl into the US, including hiding it in vehicles and using migrants as carriers. Migrants become indebted to cartels, leading to exploitation. In 2023, 112,000 Americans died from Fentanyl, with 2024 expected to be worse. This crisis is described as chemical warfare originating from China.

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.

The speaker claims the root of the fentanyl problem is the CCP, alleging that almost all fentanyl precursors originate from Mainland China, where hundreds of companies ship them globally. The CCP claims they don't make fentanyl, but instead provide all the necessary ingredients to Mexico. The speaker says that the CCP announced they would no longer sell one specific precursor, but there are 14 others that can be used to make fentanyl, and they are still shipping all of those. The speaker claims to have started an enterprise to target fentanyl precursor companies in Mainland China. The speaker states that these companies are now shipping precursors to places like India, and the Mexican cartels are manufacturing fentanyl in Mexico. Instead of going directly into America, the fentanyl is being flown into Vancouver, manufactured in Canada, and distributed globally from there.

Fentanyl, heroin, meth, and other lethal drugs are pouring across our open border, causing devastation. Families are torn apart, communities are decimated, and our country is being poisoned. The drug cartels are making unprecedented profits, while Joe Biden's open border policies betray our nation. As president, I will take down the cartels, just as we defeated ISIS. I will restore strong border security and deploy military assets, including the US Navy, to impose a naval embargo on the cartels. Special forces, cyber warfare, and other actions will be used to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership. I will designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and sever their access to global financial systems. We will forge partnerships with neighboring governments to stop this menace. Drug smugglers and human traffickers will face the death penalty. We must act now to save our country.

The discussion centers on British Columbia as a hub for cross-border drug trafficking and money laundering tied to Chinese organized crime and the CCP. They contend MDMA, meth, ketamine, fentanyl precursors from Chinese factories flood BC due to "effective no border controls, effectively no police, effectively no courts." A BC case involved a Chinese-trained scientist linked to the thousand talents plan who was caught red-handed picking up MDMA precursors; after ten court appearances the case was dropped. U.S. officials warn Canada cannot prosecute major Chinese drug trafficking and money laundering in BC. A DEA case in Arizona ties fentanyl precursors to a Vancouver-based network, with "100 kilograms of fentanyl precursors per month" arranged through Peter Peng to ship from China to LA, implicating CCP, United Front, and Sinaloa cartel. They criticize Premier David Eby and the BC ferries deal with a CCP-linked firm, and reference Willful Blindness, urging independent journalism.

Rampant illegal immigration and the illicit drug trade, particularly fentanyl, are costing the American people more than a potential trade war. President Trump aims to ensure that China, Mexico, and Canada prioritize U.S. national security as much as they do their own. Fentanyl's precursor materials come from China, are assembled in Mexico, and are the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. Trump has committed to using every available tool to secure the nation, and addressing this crisis is part of that effort.

Under my leadership, we achieved the first reduction in overdose deaths in over 30 years. However, under Joe Biden, the progress has been surrendered along with the surrender of our southern border. Fentanyl and other deadly poisons are pouring into our country, causing over 100,000 American deaths annually. I plan to take action on day 1 to end this crisis by imposing a naval embargo on drug cartels, deploying military assets, dismantling trafficking networks, and asking Congress to impose the death penalty on drug dealers and human traffickers. I will also designate Fentanyl as a controlled substance and demand China's cooperation. Additionally, we need to strengthen work, faith, and family pillars to combat addiction, provide treatment without job loss, create job opportunities for former addicts, and expand support for faith-based programs. We must win in 2024 to save our country.

Americans are coming through Vancouver, with precursors from Guangdong province. The Chinese Communist Party is turning a blind eye to the RCMP's request for help during the Meng Wan Wangzhou incident. This allows the CCP to facilitate the reverse opium war, destabilizing and undermining democracies. The Chinese Communist Party could control and stop the 100,000 deaths from Fentanyl overdoses, but they choose not to. Vancouver is a major distribution point for these drugs, which are then sent back to Asia. The CCP's relationship with organized crime allows them to easily stop this flow, but they have no willingness to do so. This is part of their hybrid warfare strategy to destabilize democracies worldwide.

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.

At a conference with high-level police and criminal intelligence officials, a very senior Canadian criminal intelligence official said Canadians have no idea how embedded the car Mexican cartels are in Canada. He described the cartels as billion dollar brutal terrorist organizations that work hand in glove with the CCP, who supply them precursors and launder their money around the world. He added that Chinese crime not only leaves lab production and gangsterism to the cartels, they've got their teams on shoulder to shoulder with the cartels as well, and that the CCP is at the top of the show. The official told the crowd that cartels are a billion dollar a day operation, extremely embedded worldwide and in Canada, thriving through corruption. He asked, 'So, are the cartels directly corrupting Canadian officials? I'm sure they are. There's no question.'

Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are unjustified, as only about 0.2% of fentanyl entering the U.S. comes from Canada. If border security were the real concern, it could be easily addressed. Canada is also focused on stopping illegal U.S. guns that contribute to violence in Canada and is open to collaborating on asylum seeker issues. However, the president's comments about Canadian sovereignty, suggesting that becoming the 51st state would eliminate tariffs, have angered Canadians. They value their sovereignty and are committed to standing up against these tariffs, emphasizing their desire to maintain a strong partnership with the U.S. while being proud of their national identity.

Special forces in Mexico shoot individuals dead at the border. Many parents have lost their children to Fentanyl-laced pharmaceuticals, which should be considered poisoning rather than an overdose. This crisis requires more aggressive measures to address it. Mexico will have a new president in 2024, and I hope to establish a good relationship with them to use our military to secure our own southern border. We need to prioritize protecting our own borders instead of focusing on others. The northern border is also a concern, as a significant amount of fentanyl was seized there last year. We should not only build a wall but also use the military to seal tunnels underneath it. Let's be practical and get the job done.

Only 43 pounds of fentanyl were found last year, which is less than a carry-on suitcase. The vast majority of fentanyl is brought in through Mexico, not Canada. Last year alone, there was a 2000% increase in illegal fentanyl. You're asking me for the president's justification for these tariffs. It's disrespectful to the families who have lost loved ones to this deadly poison. They are grateful that they finally have a president who is standing up to both Canada and Mexico, and most importantly, to China as well. The president added an additional 10% tariff on China because this deadly poison is being produced there and distributed through our neighbors. There need to be 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 U.S. government that the RCMP will cooperate with the DEA on wiretaps of Triad or cartel bosses in Canada. The U.S. Canada strike force on organized crime needs legal memorandums of understanding with Ottawa, not just language 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 knows it. Canada and the U.S. are now like Germany and Greece in the European Union; the U.S. doesn't trust our word anymore and needs to see concrete action.

There’s nothing that China, Canada, or Mexico can do tonight to prevent the tariffs from being implemented tomorrow. This is not a negotiating tool; it’s an economic decision due to significant trade deficits. Canada has a nearly $200 billion deficit with the U.S., and it’s unfair for the U.S. to subsidize Canada. Mexico has a $250 billion deficit, and while border crossings have decreased, the past administration allowed many criminals to enter the U.S. Fentanyl, primarily produced in China, is a major issue, with much of it coming through Mexico and Canada. Overall, these countries have not treated the U.S. fairly.

Guests: Katarina Szulc
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Katarina Szulc, an investigative journalist, shares insights into her access to cartel members and the dynamics of organized crime in Mexico. She attributes her success to her genuine interest in the subject, a non-judgmental approach, and her ability to gain trust from those involved in organized crime. Szulc discusses the impact of Trump's designation of cartels as terrorist organizations, revealing that cartel members are largely unfazed, viewing it as a temporary issue tied to financial pipelines rather than a direct threat to their operations. She highlights a significant shift in cartel operations, indicating that much of the fentanyl production has moved from Mexico to Canada, where they exploit less stringent law enforcement and a vast, unmonitored border. Szulc details how the Sinaloa cartel has established labs in Canada, utilizing local organized crime networks to facilitate drug trafficking, while also emphasizing the challenges faced by Canadian law enforcement in addressing this issue. Szulc also discusses the cartels' diversification into other industries, such as agriculture and oil theft, noting that they have taken control of avocado orchards and are involved in stealing crude oil, generating billions in revenue. She explains how the cartels use propaganda, particularly through music and social media, to glamorize their lifestyle and recruit new members, often targeting impressionable youth. The conversation touches on the relationship between cartels and political figures, suggesting that corruption runs deep within the Mexican government, with cartels influencing policies that benefit their operations. Szulc expresses concern over the potential for violence if U.S. forces were to intervene in Mexico, as cartels would likely retaliate fiercely. She concludes by discussing the need for a multifaceted approach to combat cartels, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root causes of cartel influence, such as propaganda and financial pipelines, rather than merely targeting leadership figures. Szulc's work aims to shed light on the complexities of organized crime and its far-reaching implications on society.
