But can the economy take the hit if we’re cut out of the fentanyl import pipeline or international trade in stolen autos?
Federal govt announced Friday that it may bolster security screening at Canada's ports – I first wrote about the infiltration of organized crime on the docks 10 years ago: https://t.co/n3OUmbVoMn

Related: On June 4, 2020, the CBC published an article entitled “CBSA warned Bill Blair that organized crime groups may be corrupting border officers”.
Bill Blair wants your guns, but organized crime pfffffft.
*
So, if anything, President Trump’s concerns about the porous Canadian border
may actually be understated.
*
It would be typical of Blair to do nothing. He’s spend an entire lifetime doing nothing whatsoever. The only way anyone can tell he’s alive is that he breathes from time to time.
Where there’s breath there’s lies. I mean life.
What’s the retail environment going to look like in a year if all the drug money laundering stops?
Pretty damn good I would say, particularly if we get the government under control. I won’t hold my breath.
The Liberal Gang is so corrupted, I’d bet they now have direct links to triads and cartels.
And don’t forget, the Liberals Are Canada.
Yep. I suspect this is the reason they are not investigating or prosecuting organized crime syndicates. Perhaps it is why the big banks money laundering operations aren’t being investigated in Canada. It also might be a big part of the reason immigrants , refugees, students and temporary workers are not being properly vetted. Is this why Canada’s borders and ports are wide open? Lax security to allow the smuggling operations.
The fentanyl labs in Canada are run by Mexican Drug Cartels. Trump knows this as does his Commerce Secretary nominee as he just testified to Congress to that. If the US knows this, so does Mexico and so does Canada’s Prime Minister.
100,000 Americans have died from fentanyl. Democrats don’t give a damn. Trump and his MAGA supporters do care. By comparison Vietnam had only 58,000 US troop deaths. That’s how huge this is. If you watch the Legacy media in the US you never, ever see this. If you watch Fox News, and/or non Legacy media of all types you see this every day. The border crisis was just the same. Only Fox had reporters there – the other sources totally ignored and/or lied about it,.
The tariffs are not against Canada or its people, although there will be damage to Canada’s economy and later America’s rather these tariffs are directed at two people and they are Trudeau and Trudeau knows it. The other is Mexico’s Hard Left President and she knows it.
What he and she do about it, is their decision, but Trump and Fly Over Country here have had enough. It is going to end one way or the other.
Shut down all fentanyl from Canada and what happens?
Imports direct from China increase.
The US imported 1.36 billion de minimis packages in 2024, the majority of which came from China. In 2023 the number of such packages was 1 billion.
US de minimis levels mean they are each below the $800 threshold, and thus not subject to customs inspection.
That can change too.
Deaths from fentanyl are not just an American problem – since 2016 Canada has had over 50,000 opioid overdose deaths. Relative to the U.S. population, this would be around 450,000 U.S. deaths. And yet the Liberals don’t appear to give a damn.

JG3,
100,000 fentanyl deaths per year.
If the US were engaged in a land war that was killing 100,000 citizens a year liberals would be staging a revolution.
Cheers.
Librano$ have a tradition of being corrupt and clueless. Because they had it easy sailing for a century at least: Big Daddy South of the border took care of defense, nice deals on trade – sunny ways, right?
Fresh example: did you guys see that clip with that bimbo Joly in the middle and the 2 mortuary agents McGuinty and LeBlanc on the sides? Who advised them from Communications that it will be good? Because it looks bad. It shows that they continue to be out of touch.
Another example: idiot Trudeau saying that reply will be ‘forceful’. What a moron, what can be ‘forceful’ when ur 10% in terms of everything? That 20-something Press Secretary and on the job just a few days only was smarter than Blackie (who’s 50+ and one would think with experience in politics): she advised Trudeau to talk directly with Trump instead of doing ‘outlandish’ statements.
Little Potato will be deploying submarines in Lake Superior.

” … Federal govt announced Friday that it may bolster security screening at Canada’s ports …”
Finally! Good paying jobs for all those irregulars!
The Chinese will gladly pay Chinese ex-pats to screen Chinese vessels entering Canadian ports.
But can the GRIFT take the hit if we’re cut out of the fentanyl import pipeline or international trade in stolen autos?
It may bolster security screening…
We’re in the month of February and unless you think Trump is bluffing “may”…”might”…”possible” and other waffle words have left the building.
Why is Premier Smith the only adult in the room with her “Let’s talk about it” approach? I swear we’re being governed by children.
“I swear we’re being governed by children.”
Once you understand that the government is doing all these insane things because they are IN ON IT then the childish bluster and ridiculous posturing makes sense. They’re not stupid. They’re criminals.
Like gun control. As a method of reducing crime, it seems insane. Reality does not work like that. Once you understand that they’re using gun control as an excuse to -steal- then it all suddenly makes sense. Same with the recent upswing in “knife control” talk from Britain. Banning knives is insane. Stealing the government money spent on banning knives, that makes sense.
So Trump says “HEY! Knock off the fentanyl BS you crooks! People are dying here!” and what do we see? Everybody from #ShinyPony to #BlubberDouggie strutting and posturing, acting tough, vowing a trade war for The Canadian People!
Except Danielle Smith. Because she’s not in on it (or at least has understood that this is a brave new world). That’s how you can tell it’s a scam.
Smith’s suck-up approach has comprehensively failed.
Oh, I don’t know. Last time I saw her drink a milkshake she finished it pretty efficiently.

Canada is not an important player in fentanyl-but that should change! I believe this country can be a leader in fentanyl production and trafficking with the right policies!
Wow, your sarcasm actually made laugh. Very good.
Canada is so incompetent, even if they tried to do something like that, they’d eff it up. The NS government loses money selling weed. Nuff said.
This has gone on for decades. The port of Montreal hasn’t found any contraband worth talking about for 75 years. The longshoremen, government inspectors, bike gangs, mafia, politicians and every assorted gangster are all in on it. Ditto Vancouver.
The Feds know it but like everything haven’t got the cojones to tackle it. They don’t want it fixed
Absolutely nailed it. In every respect.

Why would Justin want to piss off his ‘favourite dictatorship?’

There is nothing to be fixed aside from drug prohibition.
Re-quote from the previous discussion on corrupt Canadian trucking schools: “Trudeau is more likely to freeze a trucker’s bank account for honking, than for cross-border fentanyl smuggling”
L – Truer words were never said and the Trump X Team know that. Only what remains of the MSM is still
on the shrinking political payroll. So it’s officially a secret, at least until Elon Musk says it.
The Real Reason Trump Wants Canada: Lies and Dark Ties to China – Exclusive Report

This video comes to the same conclusion. Fentanyl comes in to Vancouver from China and shipped to the US. This is what Trump is referring to regarding uncontrolled drugs coming in.
L – The term “Chinese Operative” applies to more than the petulant tyrant, there is a rather large gang
of them on the public payroll, directly or indirectly.
Guess who made hundreds of millions on mask mandates? The only item to be found on the shelves of pharmacies that lacks a label describing what it does and what it doesn’t do, are plain brown cardboard
boxes of blue medical masks stamped made in China. That’s my smallest example, others: Real estate,
farmland, political nomination meetings, universities parliament, legislatures. If you really want to get ahead in Canada, your second language should be mandarin.
