20kg of fentanyl were seized on Canada’s border last year, as compared with just shy of 10,000kg on the Mexico-US border. We do not, meaningfully, have a fentanyl problem in Canada. Like, yeah, harmful drugs are bad, but this isn’t the sort of thing that demands some kind of all out response.

Which means the only reason he’s proposing this is as a way of kowtowing to Trump.

Personally, I’d like a prime minister who stands up to bullies, but maybe that’s just me.

Ugh. Go after the proceeds by hitting money laundering. Like BC said we need to:

• Unexplained Wealth Orders could add a valuable new anti-money laundering tool. Civil forfeiture is already used much more readily than criminal prosecution but still requires a link to criminal activity, which may be hard to establish, especially where international transfers are involved. Unexplained Wealth Orders could be used to confiscate property where there is no evident legitimate source of funds, providing another civil process tool that does not rely on criminal prosecution or evidence of a crime.

• Core federal anti-money laundering legislation and practice are in urgent need of reform. Improvements should be made by the federal government to the ability of FINTRAC to collect and analyze reports of suspicious transactions from all those involved in real estate, to provide information to those who can and will use it, including regulators, to provide feedback to reporting entities and to collect and report statistically on the full range of AML activities and their effectiveness

etc

Ummm too bad drugs like that don’t have one big dude at the top. It’s a stupid way to snagged
