The quantities of drugs needed to make money you would need a transport truck.........

Sounds like you know a lot about this sort of thing..

Admittedly, I do not. So I was quite surprised to find out that the problem with Canada isn't drug trafficking, but drug production

As Beijing’s ban left a hole in the market, and the acquisition of precursors was easy (80 per cent of them were legal in Canada in 2022), Mexican and Canadian gangs quickly ramped up domestic production — between 2020 and 2021, Canadian border seizures of fentanyl precursors increased tenfold. The COVID-19 pandemic only intensified this trend by interrupting global trade.

Most Mexican fentanyl is intended for international resale — between 2019 and 2023, for example, annual seizures of the drug at the U.S./Mexico border ballooned by over 1,000 per cent (from 1,154 kg to 12,247 kg). Meanwhile, Canadian fentanyl was initially absorbed by the domestic market. But by 2021 there was such an oversupply that local prices dropped 30 per cent, pushing gangs to sell abroad.

From this article here, interesting read...

Yeah, but he's not drooling all over him on Twitter.

He did what was right and tried to get ahead of it by chatting with him. Marlaina is openly trying to kiss his feet and suck his weenie all over Twitter. It's quite disgusting.

Why does this article have the feel of a fluff piece or a paid advertisement?

There are probably a lot of solid numerical ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the health care system under this Minister, I'm not sure to say claim she is motivated because a family member had cancer is the most relevant measure.

I feel the journalism, if there is any here, is very tired, but then I don't expect much any more from Postmedia these days which has mostly turned into a cheerleader for certain parties.

Good!

Good!

One thing that has been consistent throughout, is our current Premier's tenuous connection to reality. How bout' them contrails!

Many UCP and Trump supporters don't do math.
