TORONTO — Canada’s federal police stonewalled a U.S. government request six years ago to jointly investigate a surge of Canadian commercial trucks traveling into the southern United States to pick up staggering amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine from Mexican cartels and drive it back into Canada for consumption and onward shipment overseas, a U.S. official told The Bureau.
They said the refusal was another major example of non-cooperation between American and Canadian police—alongside allegations that the RCMP also blocked DEA efforts to probe the fentanyl superlab in Falkland, B.C.—and helps explain why cartel trafficking into Canadian cities has exploded in recent years.
