As transnational criminal networks deepen their ties to hostile states and geopolitical rivalry sharpens, Canada’s justice system has shown little capacity, urgency, or accountability.
Looks to me like the Canadian government at all levels are complicit in protecting the drug trade.
And you wonder why Trump is insisting that Canada do something about its inability to stop the drug flow into the US from Canada.
Canadian officials say that traffic is minimal if it exists at all.Liars all!
So it appears that Canadas biggest problem is its own government enabled by a population that will not consider an alternative government to address these problems.
Therefore all these deaths point back to one thing--keeping a government in power that does little to correct the Canadian drug problem.
So who are the people supporting this problem and government?
We all know but don't seem to have the will to fix that.We just continue to support a government that has done nothing to advance Canada for the last decade--we just continue to spiral downwards measured by any metric.
So the problem will continue unabated.
Canadians will continue to die in big numbers.
The result of a nation of people that will not help themselves.
You're absolutely right, but it looks like help is on the way. This is my admittedly limited understanding:
These criminal projects cannot be sustained without the involvement of large banks through which the associated money is laundered. Canada's problem looks like it comes from being an extension of the UK, which has been gobbling up US treasuries and is now the world's largest holder, coming in at 1.788 trillion. This includes City of London but also Canada, the Cayman Islands and other pieces of the current manifestation of the English empire.
That amount of money is a defense in and of itself, because repatriating those dollars in any substantive way would have global consequences. What Bessent is doing now is extending monitoring, and presumably consequences, to any banks that have connections to entities that are now designated as terrorist related.
I think I have that more or less right, but here is a rundown from Pascal Najadi about what's going on. It seems to me that this will bypass the weasels that run your government and surgically address the problem outlined here:
Yes, the government is enabled by us, the population. We will not consider an alternative government. Well how would you go about changing the government? These Liberals are SO well versed in the fine points of hanging on to power- you can't get rid of them. They even control the current narrative that Poilievre could not effectively govern. Well he couldn't, given the entrenched Liberal bureaucracy, his supposed enemy. But he's very good, very noisy, as a managed opponent. The Liberals won't tackle the drug problem, they're stifled by old fashioned laws and you know, they are a government that itself is governed by laws. That is the foundation for their lies, while a few of the risk-taking police officers work the dark and dangerous streets.
Similar patterns in the USA pointed to corruption throughout the justice system all the way up to bought and paid for judges. Sometimes when it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it is a duck. When gov'ts turn a blind eye, it suggests the political system has also been corrupted by organized crime.
This isn't a prosecutor failure it is the corrupt judges either acting for the crimial gvt or outside the country persons. When judges allow violent criminals to walk free, allow foreigner murderers with deport orders to stay and allow a person with sad feelings to walk away from a violent crime accusation because of cultural or economic background you know the country has a collapsed justice system. Funny, the judges had no problem overlooking the rule of law and being very heavy-handed during Cv when it came to those who refused masking and were beat up by cops or those that lost their jobs/pensions/EI for not taking in a poison on the gvt's say so...that was for the greater good they said. Criminals now rule the law in Canada, sounds like a banana republic to me!
Here's a small, personal vignette that verifies part of your conclusions.
About 5 years ago, I was living in Ottawa, working downtown.
I met a criminal defence attorney at a popular pub, right across Elgin St from City Hall. As he's become somewhat infamous, you might know his name, James Bowie. I'll leave the sordid details of his notoriety out of this, as they don't directly apply to the subject. And they are a matter of public record. I'm pretty sure he's been disbarred.
He's actually quite a personable guy, friendly, open, easy to talk to - plus, he was a little drunk. I had three of four encounters with him at that same pub, including a couple of dinners.
At one of those encounters, he was accompanied by his date, another attorney, a very attractive young prosecutor. I don't remember her name.
Out of simple curiosity, I asked some questions that demonstrated my embarrassing naivety of how the justice system works.
At one point, Bowie told me that almost his entire client base were drug dealers - mostly cocaine.
I asked him if that wasn't problematic - getting paid by criminals. I can't remember the prosecutors name, but I also asked her if she and Bowie ever argued a case against each other in court.
They both smiled and proceeded to educate me. Bowie said, "Oh no. That's the TV version. It doesn't work that way at all. None of this ever gets to court. We're just a known, business expense to the dealers. They budget for us and are always on time with payments - for obvious reasons. Their cases never go to court. All done behind closed doors with a judge. Fines established, the City gets paid, the lawyers get paid, and the dealers walk. They very rarely go to jail - only if there's serious and public violence involved. Even then, it's only for a day or two. There's money for everyone."
And that pretty much sums up everything you need to know about our Liberal Justice system.
“The police should stop doing these complex organized crime files,” the source, who cannot be named due to the sensitivities of their position, told me in an interview. “
Canada has become a country that seems unable or unwilling to tackle the difficult problems that face us. Instead there is a media frenzy that keeps the eyes and ears of Canadians on woke propaganda issues. Major drug offenders and criminals are sent away with a slap on the wrist or no consequences at all. I sorely miss the Canada that my father and other family embers fought and died to protect. I commend you Sam for steadfastly continuing investigating these issues. May you keep safe while doing so.
Looks like we'll have one last federal election this fall then the supreme court will negate the notwithstanding clause and Carney will become King. Quebec will leave and Alberta will follow (BC is already a sovereign nation according to our courts). Canada will be a rump of what it was in 1867. So sad that the rent seekers are winning...
The lack of meaningful response from the Public Prosecution Service of Canada is telling. While it is important to have a charge approval process to prevent vindictive or abusive prosecutions generally, the frequency of which complex drug cases seem to flounder here is alarming. It is not unknown for charges not to be approved at the initial stage because of an obvious Charter violation, or at a later stage if more information is obtained, say, at a preliminary hearing before trial. However, police failing to follow Charter requirements would be the exception, not the rule. Something else must be at play for all these cases not to be fully prosecuted, which is very disquieting.
We DON’T need more better paid prosecution lawyers… we need prosecuting lawyers that are not in the same good old boys club,.. being the BC Law Society.
CONFIRMED; various lawyers inB.C are in the very lucrative business of money laundering dirty money from drugs.
CONFIRMED
They use their trust-accounts to “cleanse” the dirty money.
While the dirty money is in those accounts it draws dirty interest.….. which…. according to the “original” Legal Professions Act…in my possession…... the B.C. Law Society collects the interest.
Yup….. the police work like hell to bring about charges on drug trafficking etc…. and the prosecutors basically say…. just lay off the “big guys” just go after the lesser turds on the street?
Good god man, please stop commenting on things you know nothing about. You write "we need prosecuting lawyers that are not in the same good old boys club,.. being the BC Law Society". By law, yes, by law, in order to practice law in BC, including as a prosecutor, you must be a member of the B.C. Law Society. It is not optional!
BC's a brutally corrupt province. From shyster lawyers and the judiciary, to bizarre, ruthless and corrupt behaviours by some in policing services, through to ALL political realms, the province is a disreputable mess. Money talks, bullshit walks! China's massive influence in the province, which now appears to have been quite a silently maneuvered slow takeover in the course of several decades, has very likely had many 'players' in the background dictating to the province's leaders over the years. In case readers are unaware, somewhere in one of BC's health 'Acts' there states a clause that should another 'pandemic' arise, the government "will invoke Chinese laws" yet there's no explanation of what exactly those 'laws' are. One hazards to guess!
Clearly as Sam Cooper is laying bare, the CRINK axis (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) and their proxies are utilizing transnational organized crime as a core component of their sub-threshold “gray zone” asymmetric warfare, allowing them plausible deniability while they attack our democracies from within, using our democratic principles of open markets and civil liberties as strategic vulnerabilities.
The frontline is in our streets, ports, and courts. This makes the fight against organized crime and corruption a matter of national security. It’s long past time it be resourced as such.
Meantime, Franky "Bubbles" Champagne is busy cutting ribbons in Beijing on a new accord on deepening financial ties with the murderous Orc Republic. One of the primary, named corporate beneficiaries? You guessed it: none other than Brookfield Asset Mgt.
I am a retired B.C. lawyer who spent more than 30 years in courtrooms. The vast, vast majority of lawyers have no time for any lawyer who is laundering money for criminals and would want them disbarred and prosecuted.
Please don't flatter yourself, you are not connecting any dots beyond what is already known.

Once again Sam, thank your continued insights and investigative work on this issue. For many parents and loved ones, this issue never goes away.
Thanks again Sam, for this exhaustive account.

Fascinating interaction for you & frustrating outcomes for all of us. Corruption explosion right in front of our eyes.

Our failed Judiciary at its finest.
Wow! Great overview! BC is sure in deep. Our premier came from this nest of viper lawers.
Eby is the scum of the earth along with many other heathens. Lets not fool ourselves all of these officials and politicians are on the take.
Sadly, I agree.
Sad state of affairs.
Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you too!
Happiness, gratitude... better for my soul than fear!

ADT….. by any chance are you a B.C. Lawyer?
If so….what don’t you launch your attack on the lawyers in B.C.laundering dirty money. rather than someone connecting the dots?
I am a retired B.C. lawyer who spent more than 30 years in courtrooms. The vast, vast majority of lawyers have no time for any lawyer who is laundering money for criminals and would want them disbarred and prosecuted.
Please don't flatter yourself, you are not connecting any dots beyond what is already known.
ADT….. thanks for confirming what I stated. Does that mean neither one of us knows what we are talking about?
Perhaps you should read the Legal Profession Act before launching an attack on me?
Correct, you do not know what you are talking about.
Lawyers are at the root of most of our problems here in Canada. And most are vile scum. I should know, there are some in my family.
