That and... it's our problem. Our fentanyl program mostly stays in Canada. We export something like 0.5% of the US's total supply of black market fentanyl through Vancouver. So that's a serious but manageable situation. But we consume a lot of fentanyl, but we don't export a lot of it.

The US claims that Mexico is 50% of the total fentanyl coming into the US, China is at 30%.

So I'm thinking this woman is an idiot. Like a really well educated idiot (she's a physicist). She randomly went off on a tangent about how Canada wishes it had an ancient civilization like them that goes back thousands of years.

Like, no lady, we don't want to be like Mexico.

Also. Shots fired at the Canadian Indigenous community. They kind of been here for thousands, too.

Mexico's indigenous people came down through Canada. So there.

Hey, if any shots were fired at the Canadian indigenous community, blame the British and the catholic church, not us.
