Terrorist listing for drug cartels would help fentanyl fight: RCMP chief – National [Video]

RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme says a federal move to list organized crime cartels as terrorist entities to fight fentanyl trafficking would give the Mounties more tools to pursue charges and enforce the law.

In an interview Thursday, Duheme also said he sees value in the government’s plan to appoint a national fentanyl czar, as it would allow a single point person to see an overall picture of the dangerous drug’s manufacture and distribution.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose stiff tariffs against Canada, citing the southbound flow of migrants and drugs, including fentanyl.

U.S. border patrol statistics show that less than one per cent of fentanyl seized is found at the northern border.

Trump has agreed to a month-long pause on the tariffs while the U.S. assesses whether Canada’s recent actions satisfy his demands.
