Of that amount, 43 pounds were seized at the Canadian border — about 0.2% — compared with 21,148 pounds at the Mexican border, about 96.6%. (CNN) CBC: "In 2022, for example, Canada Border Security Agency nabbed 3.8 million grams of drugs coming in from the U.S. — last year that figure climbed to 8.3 million grams. That's a 118 per cent increase in two years' time. CBSA measures cannabis, hashish, cocaine and crack, heroin, some opioids (like opium, methadone and morphine) and drug-related precursor chemicals seized in grams. A recent Toronto drug bust shows exactly what Canada is grappling with: police captured 835 kilograms of cocaine in January, product they say was likely manufactured by a Mexican cartel and then moved into Canada through the U.S. In 2022, there were 112,576 dosages seized by border officials. That number more than tripled to 469,996 dosages in 2024, according to CBSA figures. "We live next door to the largest weapons market in the world, the largest drug market in the world. There are inherent — and significant — spillover effects," said Christian Leuprecht, a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and an expert on border security. The illegal firearms picture is also troubling, police say. In 2022, CBSA seized 581 firearms coming into Canada from the U.S. — that figure jumped to 839 last year, according to the agency's data. Canadian police have long warned that illegal U.S. firearms are driving gun-related crime in this country. In 2024 in Toronto alone, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) seized 717 crime guns and a stunning 88 per cent of those were sourced to the U.S., according to TPS data shared with CBC News. Of those firearms, 515 were handguns and 91 per cent of those were traced to the U.S. Since 2018, anywhere from 70 to 88 per cent of guns seized by TPS have been traced to the U.S., a spokesperson for the police force said." America, sort yourself out.
