Just imagine if this shipment to the cartels had succeeded!

Terrifying!

What about Bharat Masrani ? His company (TD Bank) laundered billions for the Cartels, was fined 3 billion and pled guilty. Arresting him would make our politicians into liars (the nothing to see here ones at least). You can't buy weapons if you don't have any money...

"The scale of the procurement — a combined-arms package of the kind assembled by small national militaries — offers a measure of why the United States government has come to regard the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación as an acute national security threat, not merely a criminal one."

Trump has my full permission to blow to smithereens all the cartels and their affiliates. They are not good for society in anyway and daily these groups are enticing young people into their fold. Hundreds of young men and women are being groomed to keep this going. This is the same pathway Venezuela took until it was put to a full stop by a President who was on the right side of the tracks so to speak.

It's getting more and more irritating to me that while people fight and squabble over nonsensical things; evil in all its forms, takes a greater foothold out there.

Note the following;

“The cartel uses violence against journalists, local communities, rival organizations, and government officials”.

Is that why 2 prosecutors “fled the scene”…at the door of the court before “the biggest money laundering investigation in the history of B.C.” was to be heard by a judge?

Shortly after that event an “out” for prosecutors was somehow “created” as a “prosecutorial discretion” … to allow prosecutors the option of not doing their job…. being “prosecuting”?

Why did the NDP direct Judge Cullen in his B.S. Money Laundering Inquiry” not to “inquire into the prosecutorial discretion”?

Are the NDP afraid the word will get out that the narco gangs are in charge in B.C. and will use violence if need be?

I firmly believe such is the case. Sam.. please investigate and find out who it was that came up with this “prosecutionial discretion”!

The Death penalty is the only way to insure these offenders will never again repeat their offences. Medieval perhaps, but well earned.
