Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

Doctors and Pharmacists;

A multi-jurisdictional, cross-border investigation resulted in the seizure of nearly 1.7 tonnes of illegal drugs, including suspected cocaine, methamphetamine and opium marking one of the most significant drug seizures in a single investigation in Ontario. This intelligence-led joint forces investigation, named Project Bay, focused on disrupting the importation and trafficking of illegal drugs with a nexus to the international border.

In January 2025, the Windsor Police Service (WPS) initiated a drug-trafficking investigation. In February 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) collaborated with WPS to advance the investigation and identify the cross-border trafficking network. As the scope and complexity of the investigation expanded, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was engaged to support the cross-border and interprovincial components of the investigation through the Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST) and the OPP-led Border Drug Interdiction Task Force (BDIT).

As the investigation progressed, law enforcement partners provided critical support. US agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration, assisted with international aspects of the investigation, while the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and Peel Regional Police (PRP) provided operational and investigative support.

The investigation revealed the use of a broker-style model within the commercial transportation sector. It leveraged established connections to facilitate the cross-border movement of illegal drugs, including the arrangement of drivers to knowingly transport illicit commodities within legitimate supply chains.[…]

On Monday, July 20, 2026, two search warrants were executed in Brampton.

Throughout the investigation and as a result of the search warrants, the following items were seized with approximate quantities:

973 kg suspected cocaine
660 kg of suspected methamphetamine
49 kg suspected opium
230 oxycodone tablets (5 mg)
17 firearms, including an anti-tank rifle
Ammunition
Prohibited devices and weapons including brass knuckles, magazines and baton
C$80,000
US$10,000
One vehicle as offence-related property
High-end jewellery
Money counters
43 cell phones and six laptops
The estimated street value of the drugs seized is more than $139 million, representing a significant disruption to the illegal drug supply chain in Ontario.

The OPP Provincial Asset Forfeiture Unit has been engaged to investigate any proceeds of crime offences and assist in the seizure of offence-related property.

Twenty-one individuals have been charged with 102 offences contrary to the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Nineteen of the accused were arrested and two remain outstanding. Arrest warrants have been issued. Information on the accused and their respective charges are included in the below Addendum of Charged Persons.

  1. Why am I NOT surprised that it is people from Brampton. I remember back in the 1970’s when the Premier of Ontario was also known as “Brampton Billy”. Now people in Brampton have distinctly different names!

  2. I had been told drug smuggling in Canada was so trivially small that it all of it ever seized would be insufficient to satisfy Hunter Biden’s left nostril.

  3. Kate beat me to the “this must be part of the ‘only 43lbs'” crack!

    It’s not The Lies We Tell Ourselves as Canadians that gets me, it’s that a significant plurality of Canadians believe the lies and LOVE believing them – “Feeding the hunger, feeding the wonder/ Feeding the need to believe” (lyric from “Consciousness Raising As A Social Tool” by the Pursuit Of Happiness).

    We are a ridiculous little people. A ridiculous, inconsequential little people*

    *we’ve made ourselves that way. And many of us – SDA readers excluded – not only like it that way but wear it proudly as a badge of moral superiority.

  4. Do judges in Canada get paid per bail release?

    I know we don’t have any Hanging Judges in Canada, but we are really in need of judges hanging.
    Or am I to believe that all these fine men are ripe for rehab and the straight and narrow path is right there to follow?

    Remember: Shitholes Need Shitty People.

    1. Actually it should be Carnage. They already found the entry points where it entered the US from Mexico. That load was to kill Canadians, not Americans.

      1. That isn’t how drug dealers (or arms dealers, or human smugglers) work. They sell all along their routes. Sort of like the milk man; each group has a specific neighborhood of operation. If they can’t sell it at one point in their route, they’ll sell it further along. That’s why you have to go after them all along their routes (those routes are multi-national; they don’t respect state borders). That’s why countries have to work together to take them out.
        It isn’t a Canada vs. U.S. thing at its core.

        1. My point was that the drugs came from the US rather than going to the US, which some have already claimed or implied. You are correct though, that this is a transnational issue that governments at all levels should be cooperating on.

          1. “You are correct though, that this is a transnational issue that governments at all levels should be cooperating on.”

            Tell that to Carney, who at first pretended that it wasn’t happening.

  5. Released from custody.

    Singh. Singh. Singh. Singh. Moscone.

    That’s what I read. 973 kg of cocaine and they are released from custody.

    1. That’s the weirdest part to me, two of them are 22 and 28 years old, so not minors, arrest warrants issued, but names are not being released? Apparently none of the public need to know who their heavily armed, drug trafficking neighbours are? Are the cops giving them time to escape back to India?

    2. “Currently outstanding. Arrest warrant issued”

      Heh. Should be:

      “Currently outstanding. Arrest warrant issued. Release pending but guaranteed.”

  6. Interesting part is that the drugs and guns are flowing South to North, not the other way around. The jewelry and Canadian pesos are obviously local.

      1. Simple, there are malcontents who take advantage of the high trust between Canada and the US to traffic between the two countries. Our “betters”, on both sides can’t be bothered to take the problem seriously or are making money on it (indirectly). The only person who seems to take this seriously is Trump but he is one man screaming into the abyss. Unfortunately he’s both our country’s best shot at solving this problem and he’s managed to piss enough people off that he’s now hamstrung in getting what he wants done.

        I’m fairly critical of Trump’s execution but I broadly support his agenda.

        1. “I’m fairly critical of Trump’s execution but I broadly support his agenda.”

          I could respect that.

    1. I’m sure the Singh brothers are all passing the US background checks, red-flag clearances, and have patiently endured the waiting time to obtain a gun … legally … in the USA.

      Obtaining a gun illegally … is pretty much the same procedure on both sides of the Geordie Howe bridge.

    2. The jewelry is not local because Canada does not make any jewelry. The guns are American because Canada doesn’t manufacture anything anymore (except drugs). Dollars to donuts the drugs are local and work their to the US. Those pesky drugs. Using chemicals imported from China no diubt.

    3. “Interesting part is that the drugs and guns are flowing South to North, not the other way around. ”

      In this one particular operation, yes…but this is what made it so newsworthy, going against the normal flow.

  7. While the Crown wastes more time and resources persecuting Tamara Lich and Chris Barber by appealing their sentences.
    Ontario dropped the charges against actual murders due to trial delays.
    Murderers, drug dealers, and grooming gangs in Canada are a danger to the public, Tamara and Chris challenged the State’s power.

    1. Ohhh Stan … thanks for playing. But Tamara is not a member of an ‘underserved community’. Nor is she part of a ‘marginalized community’. So she’s on the wrong tier of your justice system. Because DEMOCRACY! something, something. Hate speech something something.

  8. I’m reading nothing but hate here, insinuating these sweet, innocent dreamers should all be deported. Just remember – you’ll all be DEVASTATED when all your favorite stinky, dirty, rat-infested – um – “ethnic” restaurants are shuttered!

        1. Nothing goes tick-tock like a live cowbell!

          I … have … no … home

          Love the way he draws out that line for maximum emotional and musical effect. Great voice.

      1. holy hannah.
        true story, my old man, ‘old school’ he didnt like the beatles, long hair or archie bunker.
        l will always remember my stunned amazement the day this came on our Clairtone stereo,
        and he complimented it.
        ?
        did l just hear that right?
        oh ya.

  9. “What the police fail to mention, in their rush to discuss the seized anti-tank rifle, is that the individual who possessed most of the seized guns was out on bail after being charged with two counts of first-degree murder, bomb-making, and gun charges just two months ago.”

    Maybe if the Crown had charged him with mischief he’d still be behind bars, bail denied.

    1. “Maybe if the Crown had charged him with mischief he’d still be behind bars, bail denied.”

      Only if he was trampled by an RCMP horse and was found in possession of a bouncy castle. [I feel like spitting on the floor now.]

      1. Shithole country gonna shithole. Stan was so right, the only thing that our regime takes seriously is challenging it’s power.

        1. a corollary to my claim and accusation Liberals are the ‘anything-for-power’ party.
          this includes using the FULL WEIGHT OF THE POST NATIONAL STATE to lock up
          *anyone* who challenges that power.
          l want them dead. l want a gang of crazed immigrants with some sort of ancient grudge to swarm them at some photo-op and blow them to smithereens.
          its happened before.

  10. Has the #Libranos Party of Canada made it illegal to point out when a group such as this, is all from one demographic or racial group? Or is it illegal to simply notice as well? Is there a privilege I should be checking here?

    This seems like quite a quantity of drugs, and am surprised (edit: ok there “was a time” when I would have been surprised but that time is now passed) … they’ve been released on undertakings. Is this because the jails are already full of people who’ve been found guilty of wrongspeak in social media?
    And there’s no room for them inside?

    Is there a connection between these people and the various trucking companies employing their poorly driving cousins? Is it only illegal to point out that they drive poorly?
    Is it illegal to point out they may all be cousins? or as in Pink Floyd’s The Wall, is it only illegal if they’re referred to as “colored cousins” and then it’s the wrong because it’s fascist to point out that the cousins are indeed, “colored cousins”?

    Less than 2% of shipping containers brought into Canada are actually inspected after being scanned, while they all have a “digital risk assessment” …

  11. These drugs were being moved from the US to Canada.

    Canada must implement punishing tariffs on the US until they get their drug situation under control.

    1. “Canada must implement punishing tariffs on the US”

      That part was funny.
      the Reality: “Canada must implement punishing taxes on Alberta.

    2. “These drugs were being moved from the US to Canada.”

      Yes, BY CANADIANS. Did you even read the article?

      “Canada must implement punishing tariffs on the US until they get their drug situation under control.”

      Great idea…let’s blame the Americans for the actions of Canadian drug smugglers. The “Elbows Up!” morons would love it.

      1. The fenantyl seized by the US customers on the northern border so far this year is 4 lbs. The southern border? About 5000 lbs. That’s a difference of three orders of magnitude.

        https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/drug-seizure-statistics

        Set the fiscal year to 2026, the drug type to fentanyl, and the region filter to northern or southern border. Information for the northern border for April is missing for some reason.

        That Trump should use this as an excuse to impose tariffs on Canada is one of the most idiotic things I can recall a president doing. But even more idiotic is that Trump’s fans recite this excuse faithfully.

      2. How much of those famous 43 lbs of fentanyl were carried by US drug smugglers? I don’t recall anyone being worried about that question.

    3. And shut down the Geordie Howe bridge to stop all those ‘Brampton men’ from entering the USA

    4. I recognize the sarcasm, but it makes a point our idiots should consider. There is no tariff they can levy that would punish the US.

  12. The left declared War on Poverty. Poverty won.

    The right declared War on Drugs. Drugs won.

    1. “So how much was not intercepted?”

      Enough to keep Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver plus all the cities and towns in between high AF.

      My favorite is the 20mm anti-tank gun. Boys were thinking ahead.

    2. “So how much was not intercepted?”

      And how many fentanyl superlabs are still operating in Canada? In the last two years we have seized several tons of fentanyl and precursor chemicals destined for the US and Australia.

  13. “So how much was not intercepted?”
    There-in lies the question. Since there is no way of knowing how much illegal drugs, firearms, and other contraband is brought into the country and according to the governments own admission that only 4% of cargo containers are inspected we can assume that there is less inspection on transport trucks coming from America. It would be safe to assume that this seizure is miniscule in comparison to the total transported in. However the transport system relies on drivers so why were these suspects released? How about a mandatory immediate detention until trial and an immediate and compulsory ten year transport and internment upon conviction. Not enough prison cells in the system is not an excuse for release, I am sure that arrangements could be made for temporary accommodation in an isolated area in northern Canada, such as Coats Island in Hudson Bay. Inhumane treatment you argue? How about examining the human cost of drug use that results from the actions of these drug pushers.

    1. ““So how much was not intercepted?”
      There-in lies the question. Since there is no way of knowing how much illegal drugs, firearms, and other contraband is brought into the country”

      Exactly.

      Anyone who claims there is no problem because they only seized (x) amount of drugs at the Canadian border is woefully ignorant of the facts. Yes, they find a lot more drugs at the US-Mexico border….because they are actively LOOKING for drugs at the US-Mexico border. Our border with the US is, what, 5000 miles long? The vast majority of it is undefended and unpatrolled. Anything could be coming across…we have no idea of the actual numbers.

    2. antwat
      Great rant from an ignoramus, this shit has been going on for years now. An asshole I know was hauling stolen goods and dope 50 years ago. Just implement the death penalty for drug dealing and transport. That would lower recidivism and put a cramp in the drug trade. Butt libtards and bible pounders wouldn’t support that.

      1. “Just implement the death penalty for drug dealing and transport.”

        You’d trust the #Lieberals with the death penalty?

        Rrrreally?

        1. We can define it as either a retroactive abortion or involuntary maid.

          The latter is coming anyway.

      2. “An asshole I know…”

        You’ve known far too many, been in far too many more, and then of course there’s the mirror…you are the dictionary definition of the word asshole GYM.

        OMG thanks for the material.

  14. Most of the fentanyl entering Canada (and it is a lot) doesn’t come across the US border. AND, it does not come in a finished product like this drug bust shown above. Believe it or not, most comes through in small mail parcels directly from China. China plays a game of musical chairs. It’s illegal to send fentanyl through the mail, so they change the source location and change the name of the contents (sometimes tweeking the make-up to allow a new name for the product). This was a problem in the US until we changed our laws to address it in 2020. Canada didn’t change their laws to catch these violations.

    Secondly, most of the mail shipments these days are precursor chemicals like propionyl chloride used to produce fentanyl domestically. China doesn’t just farm out their cheap textile markets to foreign countries. They are now doing the same with their drug trade.

    Finally, most finished product deliveries to Canada are coming in through your shipping docks. Those docks are still “policed” by private firms hired by the Dock owner. They aren’t exactly trustworthy as you have probably noticed the ease in which criminal organzations can ship thousands of stolen vehicles overseas through the Antwerp nexus with little problem. Maritime shipping containers are the delivery method of choice on finished products these days. And, you’d probably find that your dock security has a few guys living rather well at the moment.

    1. Orson
      The RCMP are the ones responsible for border security, and those clowns knew that TurD’Ho was using his govt cell phone and laptop to view kiddy porn, and they did nothing, and the bible pounders are doing nothing as well. There is no statute of limitations in Kanukistan .

      1. GYM uses his private cell and laptop for similar viewing, often whilst being pounded.

  15. “…shipping containers sent from the docks of Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax and St John.”

    They shipped a container from the port of Vancouver to Antwerp? Belgium? Suuuure they did.

    Vancouver is on the -Pacific- ocean.

    1. M8st likely “surplus weed” cargo smuggled onto a ship going through the Panama Canal.

    2. Railways. It’s part of the criminal system. The RCMP has nothing to do with the railways directly. It’s like the docks. They are policed by a hybrid. The private and public railroad systems operate their own internal police forces. And if the railroad systems are calling the shots, their primary motivation is not law enforcement, it’s staying on time and making money.

      So, it really doesn’t matter if shipping containers are in the west. They can be moved east without fanfare and little scutiny if the correct palms are greased.
