Explanation
The threat of US tariffs was needed to awaken to the true horror of the fentanyl epidemic, which has destroyed many young lives and crushed families. Canadians who were panicked about deaths that occurred during Covid Pandemic are far less aware that otherwise healthy Canadians and Americans are dying from fentanyl overdose.
It reached a tough milestone in 2021 when opioid overdose deaths exceeded 100,000 per year in the US. Fentanyl overdose is currently the main cause of death among Americans aged 18 to 25.
Fentanyl is a very powerful synthetic opioid, so one kilogram can kill 500,000 people. The fact that the medicine is highly concentrated makes it particularly dangerous and easy to smuggle. A backpack that can be thrown across the border contains $1,000,000 worth of drugs. It’s easy to see why so many opportunists are willing to risk the lives they make and sell it. The official overdose statistics also say nothing about the bodies in the desert or the murders of others.
Fentanyl can be easily produced at just a few cents per pill. It has been sold on the street many times, but it is still cheap high. It’s also incredibly addictive and can be found on almost every “street drug” that addicts seek to “provide the most money.” The fact that these street drugs are often made by amateurs means that they are often made carelessly and contain fatal doses. Pills look the same, so there’s no way to know if a particular pill will raise you or kill you.
Canada is not the main supplier from fentanyl to the US, but the fact is that the “de minimus” exemption causes a significant amount of drugs to flow south. Minimum border inspection is required. This loophole is used by Chinese exporters to ship fentanyl precursors to Canada where they go to Mexico to process pills or in Canada will be processed under the supervision of Mexican drug cartels. . Trump management I’ve now pushed Canada to close this loophole. The fact that this has been happening in Canada for years and barely noticed should shock us to the heart.
And we should not minimize the problem of fentanyl production in Canada. Recently, RCMP has reported that Fentanyl Labs has appeared in various regions of BC. These drugs are sold nationally and internationally. The problem is real.
The number of Canadians who died directly or indirectly from fentanyl overdose is unknown, but assume that in about a nine-nine American population, Canada’s deaths are about a nine-nine American population. is fair.
However, overdoses alone do not tell the overall story. The number of lives destroyed by this drug is incredible. Parents watch beautiful, healthy children fall into addiction and fall apart in front of them. Young people who once played on the school volleyball team, joined a discussion club and went to hockey games with their father are sucked into real life horror shows. Their beauty disappears, their mental vision fades, and when drug psychosis takes hold, they turn into shadows of their former self, and exists until the next revision is obtained. Some people run away from that hell, but many never do. Until you die, that is.
The new Trump administration has promised to do something about the massacre. “This is the war on drugs,” Peter Navarro, assistant president and director of the Department of Trade Manufacturing and Manufacturing Policy, recently told reporters. “What happened in Canada is that Mexican cartels have expanded to Canada. They make fentanyl there and send it to the US from there. Chinese people use Canada to use the small under the radar. I’ll send the parcel…. It is important that Canada, the Canadian citizens themselves, understand that what we are trying to do here is to stop killing Americans with these deadly drugs. ”
The Trump administration must also view Canada’s loose drug laws and the accidental attitude towards buying and selling of the most addictive and dangerous drugs as sales as aggravating factors. But it’s clear that on the issue of fentanyl, Trump is determined to do something about a very realistic issue that is largely ignored in Canada. He should be praised for this, and Canada should begin to wipe out its own mess.
However, US concerns about fentanyl smuggling from Canada are also part of the bigger issue. Communist China’s penetration It is a major concern for Canadian institutions. With the participation of Mexican drug cartels and the import of fentanyl precursors from China, Vancouver has become a virtual money laundering factory for the Chinese Communist Party. Investigative reporters like Sam Cooper and Terry Glover have revealed how deep this corruption can become.
The border amendment and the promise of “Fentanyl Emperor” Trudeau to appoint us not only for fentanyl and border security, but also for how seriously Canada is being violated at all levels by hostile CCPs. I hope that it will brighten up what means. good.
Understanding the problem of fentanyl is a very difficult task. In fact, if small players like China, Mexico and Canada refuse to cooperate, that’s probably an impossible task. And enforcing cooperation is probably the first part of Trump’s plan.
Canada is a minor player in a much bigger battle. Panama, Canada, Greenland? All this is related to the struggle between life and death taking place behind the scenes. Even after Russia and Iran’s problems have been addressed in some way, the big US battle is with communist China.
Canada has a very limited role in all of these upcoming battles and needs to actively tackle the issues of border security and fentanyl. Trump forced us to do that. And if we are serious about restoring the integrity of this country, we must reverse the corruption of our institutional CCP.
In the process, we can save Canada’s lives.
