Trump’s Canada Border Complaints: A Flood of US Guns and Drugs Exposes Hypocrisy
Despite President Trump’s claims, data reveals a significant influx of illegal drugs and firearms from the U.S. into Canada, exceeding the amount seized by U.S. officials at their northern border. This increase, fueled partly by shifting drug production methods and increased border crossings, is driving crime and addiction in Canada. The substantial rise in seizures, including a 118% increase in drug weight from 2022 to 2024, highlights the need for increased border security. Consequently, Canada’s increased border security measures, while partly aimed at addressing U.S. concerns, primarily benefit Canadian public safety.
