I think you raise some good points. I don't know what is being investigated as those issues are behind the scenes, but I am confident our great nation is taking action.
This is issue decades in the making. The money laundering has been going on since the 80s. Fentanyl is much newer but quickly becoming a much bigger issue than the money laundering. Both conservative and liberal governments have all done fuck all about it. Again, pick up a copy of Willful Blindness by Sam Copper and read it
We should tell rump to fuck off, and keep this issue as a bargaining chip in negotiations over tariffs and trade issues.
A truely retarded hot take. The money laundering is directly involved in driving housing prices up through the roof in Canada as real estate is the preferred place to park laundered money in Canada and the fentanyl, to the extent it's being manufactured in Canada, is also being sent across the country contributing to every city and town from Victoria to St. John's to become drug and crime infested shit holes but you, in your infinite wisdom, think it wise to not do anything about because you think dealing with this issue is a fucking bargaining chip?
Sounds like a big problem and as you say it's nation wide. Which criminal organizations are behind it?
There is plenty of literature on this.

You had known Chinese narcos and triad members and their wives/gfs applying for mortgages all over British Columbia with income sources "unknown" and being approved by Canadian banks.
Solution is simple, safe supply use on site for addicts - 1. People stop dying. 2. People stop getting sick from dirty needles and bad drugs. 3.demand for illicit drugs collapses 4. Drug gangs fall apart 5. Violence drops 6. FAR cheaper then the border measures that won't work or only reduce a small part of the problem. ALSO vastly tighten the guidelines for prescription opiates and send those exiting prescription opiates to addiction review to ensure they are free from addiction.
It is happening in Ontario too and I would not be the least bit surprised to find it happening in other provinces too. Banks need to be held criminally responsible for this. Especially when they give loans to people with unknown income sources who turn out to be gangsters or spouses of gangsters
Safe supply...are you serious? Were you dropped on your head as a child? BC has been giving out "safe supply" for years and it's been an unmitigated disaster. That "safe supply" ends up being bought, sold and shipped all over the country. The addicts who get this safe supply end up going after fentanyl because it's what they want. Add on top of that, the source of said "safe supply" is Perdue...the same people who were successfully sued by the government of BC for the whole oxytocin debacle only for them to turn around and give all that money back to Perdue. The layers of idiocy involved in this train of thought is breathtaking
It has to be properly adminstered like anything. You can't give people multiple days supply.
Apparently the police do...you should too.
