    1. If you believe that, you’re too good for this world.

      Justin Sinclair, Chrystia Chomiak, Mark Carney, Jeff Farrell (alias Pierre Poilievre), and all their friends in Canada’s political class will NEVER do anything to disrupt one of Beijing’s biggest sources of the revenue with which they finance the People’s Liberation Army. Beijing has had clients overthrown and assassinated in coups d’état over far less.

      The tariffs are here to stay, unless, and until, President Trump decides he no longer needs a Chinese satellite state next door.

      Free trade with the US or a silly little country founded by the people who backed the wrong horse in the American Revolutionary War. Pick one, and choose wisely.

    2. It’s only speculation, but I think Canada has a very big problem at the ports and on the rail lines. From what I understand, your railways are policed by the CN Rail Police. As they have been privatized, they operate separately from municipal police and hold jurisdiction on transport and yards. That’s a big deal if you consider the massive increase in stolen vehicles in Canada over the last half decade. Those stolen in Toronto usually end up in Montreal and vice versa. Someone is transporting them there via rail, and the CN Rail Police don’t seem to be putting a dent in it. The remainder of stolen vehicles get sent overseas via Antwerp, then split towards the Middle East or the Congo/ Africa.

      As I understand it, your port police are, also, privatized (National Harbours Board Police). Paid out of Port revenues rather than through your federal government. That’s risky, and considering how easy it is to steal a car, rail it to a port, and send it overseas, I’d have to question whether your law enforcement in those areas is compromised. The Mexican cartels set up in Canada (Jalisco, Sinaloa) have been operating up there for nearly a decade, and their chosen process is to manufacture in Canada, then use small port traffic to move it down into the US. I hate to say it, but your port and rail police are either compromised massively, or indifferent to events. Just my opinion, and pure speculation.

        Just some food for thought. Your country is broke, like many; your country’s GDP, like many, is largely propped up by what is described in the article above. Your country’s leaders, like many, will use any excuse (such as a war) to 1) shield themselves from scrutiny; 2) cut social services that they can no longer pay for (social services that they will deny to those who don’t have the correct social credit score by the way); 3) crack down on any criticism of their actions and reduce the civil liberties of their citizens. Bonus points for getting to blame this on a scapegoat: Trump, MAGA, America…really, the best scapegoat if you consider how easily getting most countries citizens to readily engage with this one.

        And yes, this is happening in my country as well, by the people who desperately want to get back into power(that is the major difference here; they are currently not holding the same sort of power that their comrades in other countries do). Connect the dots, do some critical thinking, and once that happens all of what you are seeing makes a lot of sense.

        1. By the way: it isn’t just drugs that get trafficked (and this has been my own personal side of this story, my own personal hell), it’s people.
          Since the early 2000s the State Department has listed Canada as one of the primary human trafficking hubs internationally. And, much like the drugs, your country has not really done anything about it, except sweep it under the rug.

          I have been sick to my stomach for going on two decades every time I hear about ‘nice little Canada, such a peaceful, law abiding, well-liked country and people; just good folks dontcha know’…some of the trafficking victims aren’t even in their teens, some are toddlers…
          I don’t care for Canada; that’s the reason why; you’ve been hypocrites; you’re being hypocrites. I don’t want to hear about how unfair big bad Trump and the Americans are to you.
          Quit being hypocrites and fix your problems!

          1. Trump is finally treating Canada the way Canada has been treating the US for decades and we’ve decided we don’t like it.

      2. CN Rail Police, CPKC Police, Port Police are there to protect CN, CPKC, and Port property only. Rail and Port Police don’t care if the goods inside the container are stolen, as long as their container isn’t stolen.

        They don’t care about what happens/happened to other’s property, They only care about what is owned by the name on their work car door.

  1. Thi Ngoan Lam and Hung Manh Tran appear to be the owners of the property. They, apparently, have a history of drug charges.

  2. Yeah CBC was on about that again tonight quoting some RCMP flunkie saying that there was only 19kg of fentanyl crossing the boarder…. They chose to overlook the dozen major fentanyl lab busts recently …. probably because the PMO told them to stick to the script. Of course that retired hack Mansbridge has been happily repeating Telford’s narrative on his not retired yet spot on Sirius XM.

  3. “Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl…”

    I caught that press conference. I had to pick my jaw off the floor.
    He had this attitude of “What’s the big deal? It’s only 43 lbs. you could fit that in a suitcase”
    Right up there with Martha Raddatz’s “gang members only took over a handful of apartments”
    Then JD Vance ripped her a new one.

    1. “Only…” is but one of the Lieberal talking points. Another is that it’s up to the US to patrol its own border. Last time I came back from Kalispell, it was CBP that searched the car when I was heading back home. CBSA does little for incoming. Coutts is an exception. CBSA and CBP share the same building. CBP probably shames CBSA to do its job.

  4. Well that’s some fentanyl that won’t make it across the border . Justin will likely claim it as part of his drug interception campaign

  5. What really makes me laugh is that we are being led to believe that the amount of drugs seized is some indication of much there is really being moved. That is more a function of how much surveillance there is and how EFFECTIVE it is.

    So if you have no enforcement, you would have intercepted zero. And you would brag about it?

    1. “What really makes me laugh is that we are being led to believe that the amount of drugs seized is some indication of much there is really being moved. ”

      Same here, Art. Makes me crazy when I see Republicans challenged on this who don’t seem to understand what a perfect rebuttal this is to the “only 43 pounds” talking point.

  6. Yah right The big problem is the ingredients coming in from the east . Plugging that pipeline might help .

  7. Ignore the drugs. It’s not the government’s job to save your loved ones from self-destruction— that’s your job if you want it. Drug related crimes are garden variety crimes and should be prosecuted as robbery, battery, murder, or whatever they are on the books. We can despise drug manufacturers and dealers but let’s keep in mind that they are supplying a demand and who are we to say that users shouldn’t be supplied. Think tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, sugary drinks and snacks …..

    1. They’re the very same people who deal with human trafficking, but don’t let that get in the way of your narrative.

    2. It is the government’s job to stop drugs like counterfeit fentanyl. Your comment is idiotic. In fact, for stuff like fentanyl, the death penalty should be reinstated. You seem to not understand that crap is embedded in other far less dangerous drugs. In fact, it could be put in tobacco or pot. That, my smarmy friend, is deliberate homicide.

  8. Less than 2 mg to kill the average adult. 43 pounds is enough to kill more than 11 million people.

  9. Well … TBF … drug operations in suburban homes has become a thing with ChiCom drug operations. Right here in the Eastern part of my County … where homes sell for just under $1M

    https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/east-bay/antioch-marijuana-grow-houses/3641367/

    He said one of the recent houses raided belonged to an Oakland police officer and he said nearly all of the houses have been linked to Chinese organized crime.

    “Nearly all of these grows that we’ve served search warrants on in the Antioch and East Bay area are run by Chinese organized crime or run by Chinese organized crime,” McInerney said.

    “If you can buy a home for $700,000 and keep it a secret,and do your operations, that’s less than you would get for a huge manufacturing facility,” said Antioch Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe.

    Hernandez-Thorpe believes Antioch is attractive to the criminals because of affordability. He says there were three grow houses near his own home at one time, and is urging Antioch residents to report suspicious activity.

  10. Canada has the biggest drug labs in the world but only 43 pounds were ever exported to the US?

  11. Fintrac can hunt down any Canadian who donated to the Freedom convoy but can’t find the Chinese drug money launderers openly dragging hockey bags full of cash into BC casinos.

    1. Which makes me wonder how many police in Canada are on the take, and looking the other way.
