RCMP in BC seized a record number of drugs and firearms from what they believe is Canada's largest and most sophisticated drug super lab. The seizure included 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, 54 kilograms of fentanyl, and 35 kilograms of cocaine, along with unregulated precursor chemicals. The drug lab was uncovered in Falkland, Northwest of Vernon. Police claim the over 95,000,000 potentially lethal doses of fentanyl seized could have killed every Canadian at least twice over. Investigators also searched locations in Surrey, discovering 89 guns and explosives. The months-long investigation was conducted by the RCMP Federal Policing Program. Gangnam Creek Rondawa faces six drugs and firearms charges, and police say the investigation is ongoing, with more people potentially facing charges.

Canada's largest drug bust occurred in Falkland, British Columbia, where the RCMP dismantled a sophisticated drug super lab. They seized over 54 kilograms of fentanyl, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, 35 kilograms of cocaine, and 89 firearms, including handguns and rifles. Locals reported increased police helicopter activity but were unaware of the operation's significance. Only one person, Gaganpreet Randhawa, has been charged. There is a concerning trend of Sikh Punjabis being involved in drug-related crimes, with notable figures also implicated. For instance, Timupol's brother was previously charged in a drug sting. Additionally, Parminder Singh Deo is wanted in India for narcotics trafficking. The situation raises questions about immigration and potential drug issues among newcomers from Punjab, a region with significant addiction problems. The hope is that the RCMP will apprehend more individuals involved in this drug manufacturing network.

I'm Frank Vaughn, and today we're examining money laundering and the illicit drug market in Canada. Finding accurate numbers is challenging, as official data is scarce. In 2007, drug seizures had a street value of over $2.6 billion, which, adjusted for inflation, is about $3.9 billion today. However, this figure is likely much lower than reality. Estimates suggest the drug market could be as high as $156 billion, considering the ratio of seized drugs to those that reach the market. Additionally, money laundering in Canada is estimated at $113 billion annually. Combining these figures, we arrive at a total of $269 billion, representing about 12% of Canada's GDP. This highlights a significant issue of organized crime and corruption within the country. Thank you for watching, and please consider supporting this work.

Sam Cooper, a Canadian journalist, discusses Chinese transnational money laundering in Vancouver and Toronto real estate, estimating over a trillion dollars laundered through the "Vancouver model." He was motivated by the pricing out of young Canadians from the housing market. He believes Canada has "lost the plot" and is being infiltrated by Chinese organized crime and state actors, posing a threat to America. Vancouver's high property prices were supported by offshore money laundering and narcotics funds from China, laundered through Canadian casinos and real estate. Hong Kong tycoons, some allegedly working for the Chinese Communist Party and connected to triads, bought up large portions of Vancouver. Underground banking facilitates money leaving China, often drug money laundered through casinos and real estate. Chinese police stations in Canada are used to blackmail, extort, and surveil Chinese Canadians, with connections to organized crime. The Liberal Party of Canada is allegedly the favored party of Beijing, though other parties are also targeted. The US government is concerned about Chinese influence in Canada, including the fentanyl crisis, believing Beijing wants to harm North Americans.

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.

The committee asked for information on how many of these so‑called police stations are operating currently in Canada, and whether any have been shut down. Response: There is deep concern about allegations and reports of foreign interference, including public reports of these so‑called police stations. The details of the investigation are the subject of ongoing initiatives by the RCMP, and questions about those details should be directed to the commissioner. The subsequent question specifically asked the commissioner to provide information to Canadians on how many of these alleged stations are operating in Canada, have operated previously, and if any have been shut down. Answer: Currently, we’re looking at three of the police stations in Toronto and one in Vancouver. We’re working with our police jurisdictions as well as with other Government of Canada national security agencies. An investigation has been initiated and is led by the Greater Toronto Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET). So far, elements of the investigation have been very overt—there have been marked police cars and uniformed members to cause disruption to the allegations. We’ve released that visible presence, and that’s mostly so that people will see the actions, for two reasons: first, because we need more information, and second, so that when police are in the area dealing with the allegations, people will come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and while the details can’t be discussed publicly, a statement in October/November indicated that an investigation was underway into reports of possible activities at those locations. The committee member then asked for clarification: Can you confirm that you know the locations of these supposed police stations, and that RCMP in uniform have been at those locations causing disruption? Response: No. In the initial instances, instead of disruption by going in uniform with marked police cars, the approach was to speak with the people involved at those police stations or locations because those locations are a legitimate business in the front. The committee then asked for a timeline on when the investigation would conclude and whether the allegations are true. The conversation moved to indicate the inquiry would continue, but no specific conclusion timeline was provided in the exchanged statements.

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.

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.

Canada is losing thousands of young people to illicit fentanyl poisoning, which has become a mass murder weapon for Chinese communists and Mexican cartels. The biggest fentanyl lab in history was found in Vancouver, with ties to Chinese organized crime and biker gangs that have been hired to assassinate people in the United States. Canada needs to update its legal structures, as current laws hinder undercover police operations and contribute to low seizure statistics. Most of the drugs are going from Mexico to Canada and then being brought south into the Northwest United States on ships, but there is almost no port enforcement. The US needs Canada to update their legal structures and create a RICO act like in the United States and designate cartels as terrorists. We have to break the bank on fentanyl trafficking for these cartels and bring them down and take them out.

"The Trump administration is is taking this very seriously, and they're not playing any game." "the seizure of these precursor chemicals, I believe it was 600,000 kilograms of precursors" "going after the cash here in America. Like, that you said that would cut off their lifeblood because they literally shipped cash back to Mexico in 18 wheelers." "We exported back close to $3,000,000,000 of bulk U. S. Currency." "18 wheelers, tractor trailers, commercial vehicles. And there is no seizures in the ten years. None." "That's their lifeline." "The market will be indicator of what's actually going on. And for right now, the market's indicating that there's still a lot of supply." "The Mexican people will be happy to get help going against these criminal organizations."

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.'

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. Gaginpreet Randhawa faces six drug and weapons charges and remains in custody. Police would not say what countries the drugs were destined for.

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.

Speaker 0 says that 85% of the international narcotrafficking annually, "the 85 por 100 de los 1000 de 1000 de 1000000," is in the banks of the United States, and that the cartel should be investigated to uncover money laundering. They mention looking at fiscal permission data from the vice president, stating that there are more than $500,000,000,000 (five hundred billion) dollars annually in US banks, in legal banks. If they want to investigate a cartel, they should investigate the cartel of the north, because from the United States it directs all narcotrafficking of South America and of the world, and also directs the trafficking of opioids, etc. The speaker concludes that in the United States are the mafias, the true cartels.

I discovered the United Front's connection to the Chinese mafia, known as the Triads, who are influential in New York. They engage in human trafficking, drug trafficking, and collaborate with government officials. They even control some police advisory boards. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has infiltrated US law enforcement agencies, particularly in Chinese communities. When the NYPD investigates cases in Chinatown or Flushing, they often consult these advisory boards, which have Chinese agents who provide false information to protect their own operations. The CCP's influence is deeply concerning.

Speaker 0 asks about how common it is for the CIA to use drugs as a weapon or to create cartels for various purposes, and whether it sometimes works as a strategy. Speaker 1 responds that it continues to this day, with key US allies implicated in the drug trade. The Organization for Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, funded by the State Department, is described as an investigative journalist outlet that has a new report about the Noboa family’s ties to the Balkan mafia. The Noboa family controls Ecuador; Daniel Noboa, born in Miami, is the president, and his family owns a Noboa shipping company. The shipping company is alleged to have been involved in sending bananas through the Noboa Bonita Fruit Company packed with cocaine to Europe via routes overseen by the Balkan Mafia. Ecuador is described as the largest drug export center to the United States, per the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, while Venezuela is claimed to be responsible for about 5% of drug transit. Kristi Noem, identified as the DHS secretary, is said to have visited Ecuador to meet with Daniel Noboa and campaign for a referendum to bring US military bases back to Ecuador, a referendum that was rejected by Ecuadorians. Noboa is portrayed as strategically valuable to the US, described as friendly with Marco Rubio, who has touted him as a partner in the war on drugs, yet the claim is made that the issue is about geostrategic interests. Noboa is said to have ended the legacy of social democrat Rafael Correa and is purportedly supporting US military bases on Ecuadorian soil, aligning with US interests even as Ecuador becomes a center of narco-trafficking and cartels destabilize parts of the country. In Mexico, the narrative references Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón, noting Calderón as author of Plan Mérida, a US military-directed program to combat drugs in Mexico. Gennaro García Luna, head of Mexico’s equivalent of the FBI, is described as now in a US federal prison for life for involvement in a conspiracy with the Sinaloa cartel to ship drugs to the United States. The State Department is said to have acknowledged knowing about Luna’s activities while valuing him as a political partner. The Fast and Furious program is mentioned, alleging that the US armed Mexican cartels to track guns, and a 2011 federal court testimony by a Chapo Guzmán lieutenant claimed the US armed the Sinaloa cartel to defeat rivals like the Guadalajara cartel. A recent raid in Oakton, Northern Virginia, on Paul Campo, former director of the DEA’s financial division, is described. Campo was in charge of money laundering investigations and was associated with a CIA asset named Robert Sensi to launder $12,000,000 for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The speaker notes ongoing exploration of these connections. Historically, the CIA is said to have worked with narco cartels to fund black operations, funding proxy wars in Central America with off-the-books money. The Guadalajara cartel allegedly funded the Nicaraguan Contras through cartel profits. Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a DEA agent, reportedly discovered the Guadalajara cartel’s involvement in black operations and was captured and tortured, with alleged monitoring by CIA operatives including Felix Rodríguez, who supervised the capture of Che Guevara. This is tied to a documentary on Amazon called The Last NARC.

Around 2016, during the Cash for Access scandal, a person linked to China's military intelligence and organized crime was seen sitting beside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a fundraiser. This person and his associates from Vancouver sent money to Trudeau's riding. This reveals the core of China's interference in Canada, involving the use of organized crime and the United Front Work Department. Government officials have expressed concerns about this interference, but little action has been taken. The Chinese government surrounds Canadian politicians, business leaders, and First Nations bands to exert influence. The RCMP is aware of the involvement of dishonest politicians in these interference operations.

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.

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 has been working in industry. It could be a very well-organized situation. Manufacturing P2P from scratch was also the method used in the TV series Breaking Bad.

Authorities seized almost 400 kilos of meth and 54 kilos of fentanyl, along with smaller amounts of MDMA and cocaine. The lab had enough source material to potentially triple that output. Officials claim these enforcement actions have saved thousands of lives in Canada. They also served to deny this organized crime group an estimated $485,000,000 in profits.

Global news reports that a home in a Surrey neighborhood is allegedly linked to a criminal syndicate associated with Mexican drug cartels. In September, RCMP executed a search warrant at the fortified residence, seizing 23 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, illicit drugs, cash, and multiple Mexican passports after a three-year investigation into a cocaine importation plot. The operation was disrupted by the arrest of a key leader of the Sinaloa cartel in Texas. Recently, RCMP announced this following the largest drug superlab bust in Canadian history. Three individuals connected to various gangs were arrested, including a Mexican national, but all were released without charges. The RCMP has recommended drug and weapons offenses, leaving the decision to crown counsel.
