The claim by the Canadian-American ambassador is that the Canadian border accounts for ~1% of Fentanyl traffic into the United States. Yet we are treating them as severely as Mexico and China. I suspect this has more to do with the U.S. President's personal feelings towards the Canadian Prime Minister. I hope I am wrong and this isn't as petty and stupid as I think it is.
