The facts on fentanyl and the northern border

Trump’s White House is using misleading data about drug seizures and their links to Canada, a Globe investigation finds

The Trump administration is using misleading fentanyl figures to justify tariffs against Canada, relying on a dataset that includes drugs traced to Mexico, a Globe and Mail investigation has found.
