Episode Details

Canada’s Pacific ports are a major loophole for drug traffickers, with Vancouver and Prince Rupert quietly becoming launchpads for massive meth shipments to Australia—often hidden in containers labeled as canola oil. Less than 2% of outbound cargo is even scanned, and critical audits reveal Canada Border Services Agency ignored exports entirely between 2020 and 2022. A single June bust in Metro Vancouver alone seized 6,300 kg of meth—the largest in agency history—highlighting how traffickers exploit lax outbound controls. With no single agency owning port security and alleged insider ties to organized crime, the system is dangerously fragmented. Experts demand a permanent Pacific port security task force, intelligence-driven operations, and stricter worker vetting—warning that if Canada doesn’t act, its economic and national security will be compromised.
