CBSA reports huge Chinese fentanyl precursor chemical seizure ahead of Carney-Xi meeting … Carney expected to offer apology & prompt return

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says it seized 4,300 litres of precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl and other illicit drugs in shipping containers coming from China, which were bound for Calgary.

The seizure occurred in May at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility in Delta, B.C., but was publicly announced by CBSA on Thursday — one day before Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.
