🇨🇦 just busted 3 fentanyl labs in 2 days.

All well equipped, industrial scale facilities within a short-drive of each other in BC. All to produce the fentanyl 🇨🇦 totally doesn’t have.

Tragically I’m not your fentanyl czar, but here’s what I’d notice if I were. 😉

<thread>🧵👇 Image

2/ this is a fun photo. Nothing brown is used to synth fentanyl. Precursors are clear or white.

But aniline, an essential manufacturing chem, is light brown & darkens as it oxidizes.

Only problem is aniline isn’t used in fentanyl production. wtf, eh? Image
3/ However, aniline is used to make fentanyl precursors. RCMP said 2 of 3 labs in the fentanyl bust were manufacturing fentanyl.

What was the 3rd? I’m not a fishing license expert like 🇨🇦’s newly appointed fentanyl czar, but it sure looks like a precursor lab.
4/ But that can’t be! 🇨🇦 doesn’t have any fentanyl.

That means it definitely doesn’t have the dozens of industrial scale labs that were busted over the past few months.

It definitely doesn’t have precursor labs. That’s preposterous! Something, something, China! Mexico!
4/ anyway, if you’re new here—I’m being sarcastic. I’ve been arguing w/🇨🇦’s gov about fentanyl proceeds laundered through our banks & housing for like a decade.

🇨🇦 is the command & control center of the global fentanyl trade. Ignoring it just b/c Trump said it, is reckless to us
6/ Seriously, you have no idea ho bad 🇨🇦’s fentanyl problem is.

You know how 🇨🇦 is now the global center of money laundering? That’s smaller than 🇨🇦’s fentanyl trade.
7/ also the RCMP is cracking down in BC & the Province is helping.

Ontario is the where the actual control center is located, and they aren’t doing a thing because it’s bad for business.

In fact, mention how many busts are related to ON + ON folks scream it’s a lie.
8/ 🇨🇦’s gov told you it has no fentanyl, & definitely doesn’t export.

… just a few weeks after 🇨🇦’s intel wrote in a report that it has an extensive fentanyl industry that exports.

🇨🇦’s Schrödinger Fentanyl problem. It’s a crisis & doesn’t exist all the same time. 🤷‍♂️
9/ surely if 🇨🇦 had a drug & money laundering problem, it would have more crime stats!

Nope, because MOST criminal charges in places like Ontario are dropped. No day in court, no crime. Case closed!
10/ great time to traffic fentanyl though.

It looks like 🇨🇦 is dropping fentanyl trafficking charges to avoid any official statistics on conviction.

Probably also a great time to go long on fentanyl treatment centers. Hamilton recently lined the streets with them.
11/ remember the time firefighters accidentally stumbled in a stash of fentanyl large enough to wipe out Toronto?

Weird how he person lived w/the brother of the Danforth shooter—who totally wasn’t a terrorist. Just a lonely guy who shot people at random.

Oh that reminds me…
12/ 🇨🇦 doesn’t have murders but a lot of folks overdose.

In fact, a lot are OD-ing with no known drug history. Randomly. Weird.

Anyway, hot shotting is when a person kills another by overdosing them unwittingly. A mom in B.C. fought to find that out from the gov.
13/ I should wrap up, but I’ll leave you with this. Think it’s going to change?

I asked Carney’s team if they had a plan to address fentanyl, and they unfollowed me.

Team Fentanyl is now PM. So good luck kids, this problem is going to get a lot worse real fast.

Is 🇨🇦’s healthcare system failing due to socialism or capitalism?

Neither. The math is pretty clear—this is just straight up greed, facilitated by crummy people.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ first off, everyone forgets it's hard to be a doctor.

Most people can't finish a book.

A doctor in 🇨🇦 is the result of a 13 year old who decides they'll top their class & do 12-years of post-secondary training to start their career.

Let this point REALLY sink in.
3/ I mean, really sink in. You're delusional if you think you could do it. I couldn't.

The folks in charge didn't need that training. Ontario elected a high school drop out (about to be re-elected). 🇨🇦 elected a high school teacher.

My point isn't to make fun of politicians...

Folks in 🇨🇦 keep explaining to me that we don’t have 🇺🇸-like crime.

It’s true. Here’s a brief list of the 🇺🇸 crime that never happens in 🇨🇦.

<thread> 🧵👇
2. in 🇺🇸, their anti-money laundering & enforcement budgets are soaring to deal with crime.

In 🇨🇦, we’re so confident that there’s no laundering that politicians confidently slash the budgets. Image
3. In 🇺🇸, defunding the police is extremely controversial.

In 🇨🇦, we don’t hesitate. Ontario immediately cut its financial crimes unit. Image

People think 🇨🇦 is lax on money laundering because it’s good for the economy. Nope.

It’s so much worse. The lax enforcement turned into organized crime capturing 🇨🇦. The legal system is now too scared to act. Seriously.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ First off, let’s talk about how extensive 🇨🇦’s organized crime (OG) problem is. The country’s OG intel agency estimates 2,600 groups operate in the country.

Since a gang is 3 people or more, at minimum they’re estimating 1 in 4000 adults are OC members. Image
3/ that means the ratio of OC to normal people is higher than the concentration of high school school teachers to people in Toronto.

Think about that for a second—how often do you see high schools across Toronto? Well, you’re more likely to see OC members than a teacher in one.

🇨🇦: fun story. Two guys fight. One gets murdered. The other gets murdered a year later.

🇨🇦's intel agencies pursue evidence alleging they were involved w/criminal activity.

Thankfully the intel agencies were redirected by the real experts—🇨🇦's politicians.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ Good thing. It was the enemies of the politicians all along—India. 🇨🇦’s PM Trudeau notified the public it found "credible rumors.”

🇨🇦 goes from “Modi did it” to denying it, then calling one of its own intel agents a criminal faster than a bank bail out.

So weird. 🤷‍♂️ Image
Image
Image
Image
3/ anyway, not really about India.

It’s the fact 🇨🇦’s intel agencies are very capable but heavily manipulated by politicians.

They did this w/Sidewinder ~30 years ago—agents had allegations that politicians tried to suppress. Now we’re dealing w/fall out from not addressing it.

🇨🇦 hiding a lot more fentanyl trafficking.

A whopping 19 FENTANYL TRAFFICKING CASES DROPPED OVER 7 DAYS IN ONE CITY. Why would 🇨🇦 do that? 🤷‍♂️

Police bust massive rings, it makes the news, the gov drops charges. What fentanyl trafficking? There’s no convictions. 🙄 Image
2/ Hamilton home prices 3x in 8 years, eh? Is it 🇨🇦’s Greenwich, CT?

Love Hamilton but we’re not paying the gov $10k for property records to prove the laundering, only for gov act shocked & ignore it.

Already did that in TO. I’ll do the analysis, but not paying for records. 😂 Image
Hey @MarkJCarney, does your platform have a plan to deal w/the laundering & fentanyl?

I think 🇨🇦 would love to hear it since you may be PM in as little as 2 months.

Pierre’s voiced concern. Freeland demonstrated she’s #TeamFentanyl by hiding the HSBC investigation.

“🇨🇦 doesn’t have fentanyl problem. 🇺🇸 only seized 19 kgs at the border.”

lol. Yeah, no. Firefighters accidentally found multiples of that in some dude’s apartment.

The brother of Toronto’s Danforth Mass Shooter lived there…

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ long story short, firefighters are called to check out a carbon monoxide detector. They see an unreasonable amount of drugs.

They call the police, who find 33 firearms, and 42 kg (92.6 lbs) of carfentanil, a powerful derivative of fentanyl.

globalnews.ca/news/3806457/m…Image
3/ Carfentanil is a derivative 100x more powerful than fentanyl, and 10,000x more powerful than morphine.

Sounds like a comically absurd strength of opioid? It is. A grain of sand sized dose is enough to OD.

This guy had 42kg of this stuff? 🤔
