The drug crisis is everywhere; it’s so severe St’at’imc Chiefs recently called local states of emergency. The cause of this tragedy is the federal government’s failure to prevent international drug cartels from taking hold, reports indie journalist and drug crimes expert, Sam Cooper.
“Two Supreme Court rulings—Stinchcomb and Jordan—have gutted the capacity to prosecute complex crime,” Cooper says. Stinchcomb Law requires all incriminating evidence be turned over to the defense before trial. This gives criminals a heads up, allowing them to change the parts that have been exposed. Jordan Law helps lawyers shield their clients; after being charged with an offence, defendants must be tried within a reasonable time frame (18 months, sometimes 30) but transnational crime networks are “incredibly complex and legal cases can’t be rushed”. Canadian law enforcement is hobbled.
“Trump hates drugs,” Cooper states. When he closed America’s southern border, international drug syndicates quickly shifted to Canada. Cooper has documented that western Canada is now the epicenter of the global drug trade! Super labs are operating in Langley and Surrey and many other locations. Vancouver has become the world’s biggest exporter of meth. East Indian crime networks have taken over the long haul trucking industry, which facilitates the drug supply chain. Dirty drug money is laundered by real estate. “It’s been known for a long time,” Cooper says.
Cooper: Trump’s tariffs are an iteration of America’s hammer coming down on Canada for this country’s complete failure to go after drug production. Americans are completely fed up with the dysfunction, trickery and lies from Ottawa. It’s not about who’s currently in Washington,” Cooper says, “it’s about this dangerous moment in history and whether or not Canada is going to survive it. Canadians would be shocked and fearful if they knew that we cannot stop these networks.”
Why don’t the media report any of this? CBC’s senior administration are tethered to Ottawa, which pays the CBC so it can exert editorial controls. Corporations owned by the 1% own all TV stations. CBCs “your world this hour” mantra is laughable. The “news” is 100% distraction tactics.
What to do? Urge MP Caputo to get on this. Frank.caputo@parl.gc.ca or 250-851-4991
