Episode Details

Canada’s Pacific ports are becoming a major smuggling corridor for methamphetamine bound for Australia, with less than 2 percent of containers even being scanned—let alone searched. A damning report reveals that the Canada Border Services Agency is ignoring outbound shipments, crews, and ships, leaving traffickers to operate with near impunity. Drugs are often hidden in plain sight—like canola oil jugs—caught only by luck. Canada’s role as a drug transit hub isn’t accidental: drugs fetch higher prices overseas, especially fentanyl. But the real problem? No single agency owns port security, creating a fragmented, vulnerable system ripe for infiltration by organized crime. The fix? A dedicated Pacific port security task force focused on intelligence and worker vetting—because if Canada doesn’t secure its ports, others will, and that’s a national security risk.
