Almost eight tonnes of methamphetamine were seized by Canadian border agents in the Pacific Region last year — nearly four times all the illicit meth seizures combined from 2018 to 2022.
Despite the record finds by the Canada Border Services Agency, no one has been charged in B.C. for any of the massive loads, which were mostly destined for Australia and New Zealand and linked to transnational organized crime.
Critics say the lack of consequences is just one of the reasons B.C. — and Canada — has become a safe place to do business for some of the biggest international criminals.
