"Mexico & Canada Are Playing a Dangerous Game" – How the Drug War is Moving North - another "William" posting...

Vince welcomes back Katarina Szulc to discuss how cartels aren’t just at the southern border—they’ve expanded north, exploiting Canada’s weak points to move drugs, weapons, and people. With political tensions rising and Trump’s plans to crack down, the fight against the cartels is going international.

It's patently obvious that Trump is playing to his strengths as a deal maker and trying to force action and as trading partners both Canada and Mexico have announced such.

Drug wars within each country have been going on for decades, there's nothing extraordinary about this.

That Mexican cartels, who get their pre-cursors from China are expanding to Canada is no surprise.  Canadian police have been investigating.

Cartel Operations on the Canadian Border

• Smuggling Routes: Javi, a self-described member of the Sinaloa cartel, described how the cartel smuggles drugs and people across the U.S.-Canada border. He mentioned that the cartel's operations are extensive, with multiple entry points through Canada, making it difficult for increased border patrols to stop their activities.

Drug Cartel Activity in Toronto

• Toronto Police Seizure: While Toronto police have not provided extensive details, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have stated that drug cartels are operating across Canada. In January 2025, Toronto police announced the largest cocaine seizure in the force's history, which had alleged ties to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel[3].

These developments highlight the ongoing challenges in combating drug cartel activities both in Mexico and along the Canadian border.
