I discussed the fentanyl crisis and the necessary legal changes in Canada during my interview with Rosemary Barton. I emphasized how Canada can avoid Trump's tariffs by securing the border, shutting down drug labs, and reforming laws that currently protect criminals and cartels. It's crucial for the NDP Liberals to consider these strategies for effective cooperation and to address these pressing issues.

Secure the border, shutdown the drug labs, and get rid of 🇨🇦 laws that protect criminals and cartels. Will NDP Liberals listen? #cdnpoli https://t.co/Eosz2bLDTd
Video Transcript AI Summary
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.
Speaker 0: Canada has to focus on the fact that it's losing thousands of young people a year to, illicit fentanyl poisoning. It's a it's it's it's basically become a mass murder weapon for communist China and the Mexican cartels in partnership. This is this as someone who's worked on counter narcotics and law enforcement and counterterrorism, it's not just because of Trump. I think people are are waking up inside your country.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we have pointed to a lot over the past couple of weeks when responding to the president is the amount of fentanyl that crosses, from Canada to The US, which is, as you know, very small. It was 43 pounds was seized at at that border.
Speaker 0: Well, several months ago, you had the biggest lab in the history of the world, you know, taken over by the Royal Canadian Canadian Mountain Police in in Vancouver. I mean, we've never even seen anything like this. Made Breaking Bad look like, you know, minor league. Okay. So that you know, and and definitely where there was tight Chinese organized crime, possibly Iran as well.
You know, the facts have not been released by your government. It's it's so sort of astonishing that they haven't provided more information publicly, but I think they know they're sitting on a big scandal here. The the fact that this thing emerged and it's tied to these biker gangs, who've been hired to go to town to United States in some cases and assassinate people like, you know, my former boss secretary, Mike Pompeo, president Trump, and others is, you know, this is another old level of scandal involving it. But the key thing to focus on is that they're, you know, someone was making over a hundred million doses of dead a deadly fennel in a that you didn't know about right under your nose. Now how many other labs do you think you have going?
And, you know, let's let me let folks one last thing. There's very little border enforcement. So we don't 42 kilograms, it's it's a nonsensical number. We don't have the most of the drugs are going from Mexico to Canada and then being brought south into the Northwest United States on ships. You have almost no, port enforcement, with police.
So we have no idea, except from our sources, what's going on, and we hear some bad things.
Speaker 1: So so tell me what more you think needs to be done to deal with some of the things you're talking about. As as well as the czar, they've increased, surveillance at the border. They are gonna crack down on Mexican cartels. I talked to the RCMP commissioner about that, and there is more shared intelligence that's gonna happen between Canada and The US. What what else would be helpful in this instance then?
Speaker 0: K. You got very good police in your in your country. Yeah. Okay. You got great as as CSI c CSU intelligence organization is first rate as well.
Your problem is your laws. It's the Stinchcombe law, which I'm not, you know, like, the world's expert on. But, basically, every time we try to go up on a phone number in Canada, and most all the money laundering networks is tied to China, which is about 90% of all money laundering in The United States is tied to Canada. Okay? So when we try to go up on those numbers with your police, they have to inform the person that we're targeting that we're targeting their number.
That's crazy. How can we run an undercover police operation with your country? Which is why we don't run them, which is why the seizure statistics are so low because we don't even try to work with Canada because your laws are abbreviated and distorted. And and and I think this is an issue that goes back in Canadian history a long time. You need to update your legal structures.
And if you do, you know, and and create a racketeering influence corrupt organizations act, RICO, like we have in United States, and designate them as terrorists, which you're gonna do. I think we'll solve a lot of these problems. I think terrorists will come off, and we'll be in a excellent we're looking to be partners to stop this stuff from terrorizing our country. I mean, our countries are getting killed by fentanyl. We gotta protect ourselves.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you do you believe that this is about fentanyl for for the president or that it's about other things? This is just one of the pieces that he is, using as as leverage here.
Speaker 0: Well, I take him literally, and I think, literally, he he says it's about Fennel, and I think it is. I mean, we're we're losing, you know, 80 to a hundred thousand people in North America, between US and Canada. We gotta stop this nonsense. We gotta target these Mexican cartels. We need to focus on their money.
So the key thing is to target the banks that are behind it. And, of course, you've got a sort of tragic situation where TD Bank was laundering billions of dollars for Mexican cartels, and now it's being hit with the largest fines literally in the history of money laundering. So, you know, it's not blame Canada for me. I love Canada. Canada's a great country.
We gotta we we gotta we gotta break the bank on fentanyl trafficking for these cartels and bring them down and take them out.
I appreciated the opportunity to address Canadian viewers on the fentanyl crisis, the need for strategic cooperation, legal changes required in Canada, and the rationale behind Trump tariffs on its most important interview national news show hosted by Rosemary Barton this morning. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6641985 @HudsonInstitute @RosieBarton @derekmaltz_sr
