According to CBP, last year there were only 43 pounds of fentanyl seized on the northern border. The problem is almost entirely a Southern border problem. So it seems crazy to punish Canada. Also India is responsible for many precursors but are not named.
- refurb 2y ago“Only 43 pounds” or 9.7M fatal doses.
- janalsncm 2y agoYes, and 4.8 billion fatal doses were intercepted at the US-Mexico border. Fentanyl is potent.

Here are the figures from the story: > In the first 10 months of 2024, the Canadian border service reported seizing 10.8lb (4.9kg) of fentanyl entering from the US, while US Border Patrol intercepted 32.1lb (14.6kg) of fentanyl coming from Canada. So the US is exporting 242 doses per 1000 Canadians to Canada. Canada is exporting 84 does per 1000 Americans to the US.
