Fact check: Canada rather do this than just stop the drugs from crossing into the USA. I mean that's all that was asked of them and this is where we are. Unbelievable.

1. Summary of the results

The original statement's implication that Canada is not taking action against drug trafficking is demonstrably incorrect based on multiple sources. Canada has implemented:

• A $1.3 billion Border Plan with expanded drug detection capabilities ^[1]
• Created a Drug Profiling Centre and launched a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force ^[1]
• Designated 7 cartels as terrorist organizations ^[2]
• Established a Joint Action Plan on Opioids with the United States ^[3]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The statement omits crucial statistical context:

• Less than 45 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border, compared to over 21,000 pounds at the southern border ^[4]
• Less than 1% of all fentanyl seized in the US comes from Canada ^[5]
• Canada actually faces more drug trafficking from the United States:

Canadian officials seized 8,300 kg of drugs from the US in 2024 ^[5]

This represents a 118% increase in drug seizures from 2022 to 2024 ^[5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The statement appears to be influenced by politically motivated narratives:

• The narrative about Canada's inaction contradicts actual U.S. intelligence data ^[4]
• While criticizing Canada, the Trump administration actually weakened the Corporate Transparency Act designed to combat drug trafficking ^[6]
• Experts explicitly state there is "no indication" of significant fentanyl trafficking from Canada ^[7]

The statement's bias appears to stem from political rhetoric rather than factual evidence, as Canada has not only met but exceeded expectations in drug trafficking prevention, particularly considering that it faces more drug trafficking challenges from the US than vice versa ^{[5] [5]}.
