TEXAS — With a lack of funding and support from Canadian officials, First Nation police chiefs on the front lines of a corridor of Sinaloa Cartel–linked border smuggling and drug trafficking have turned to enforcement colleagues they’d never met for help: Texas sheriffs.
“We see MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel, Hell’s Angels,” Zacharie said. “All of these organized crime entities come into our communities because in their minds, the picking is ripe because we don’t have the resources.” Nope. It's because cartel members and other criminal elements, know how to exploit people living in poverty. It's how they operate in Mexico. Enter the small communities and throw mega dollars around. Too many chief's are taking money and NOT improving life on the reserve. WHERE is that money?
WHERE IS THAT MONEY? WHERE ELSE BUT IN THE POCKETS OF ANY NUMBER OF CORRUPT BORDER SERVICE AND CORRUPT POLITICAL OPERATIVES. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER. THE BIGGER THE "TAKE", THE HIGHER UP THE CORRUPTION.
Yes…. and NOW these chiefs are going to work against the drug criminal element? PLEASE give us all a break.
Sounds as phoney as the recently appointed Fentanyl Czar that has admitted he “had no power” to do anything? It’s all window dressing folks.. don’t buy into any of it.
One reserve has told the non-indigenous dealers in no uncertain terms that they will be eliminated if caught on the reserve going forward. They got the message and no longer enter the reserve.
Hey, lets hire a border czar so all our drug border issues get resolved. 🤨
I can't say much more. The rage I feel about this issue is not appropriate for this platform. I can't decide who I am more mad at: my fellow Canadians for not reacting in a greater way to 50,000 precious lives (mostly young men but also women) that have been lost through the intentional actions (to addict and kill) of the transnational cartels or our government heads and the judicial systems who keep pretending they are actually doing something to curb this.
So indegeneous territories have spent decades++ declaring their sovereignty from cdn laws so they could manufacture cigarettes to sell on blk markets, they set up gambling facilities (a very well known criminal control point) and now they are worried about being used for drug importation as the next level of upper criminal activities? Who is running their communities? Foreign criminals? Criminal Chiefs? Or our criminal/adjacent federal & provincial gvts? BTW brasseau has never stopped drug flow so he was a perfect pic to head up the useless money pit of illicit drug manufacturing & distribution.
That is well understood but the indegeneous can't suck & blow at the same time and that is exactly what they are doing, they play victim & extortionist. The same can be said for cdns that vote in corrupt gvts and then complain about the outcome. Pointy elbows are just not that scary.
It’s wonderful that Texas is willing to step in to help on this issue, and also says a lot about Canada’s inability and/or unwillingness to tackle the problem.
Sadly, Mexico corrupts everything it touches. That's not the fault of regular Mexicans, who are good people. The central locus of the corruption complex in Mexico is the Mexican elite. It's a mistake to differentiate between cartels, politicians, and the business elite. They form a synergistic whole that keeps Mexico deeply corrupt and unable to evolve into a modern country.
I can understand why they look to Texas and not the police force in Canada. The leadership of the RCMP and their purposeful incompetence as they aid the Illiberal Regime in Ottawa is more than obvious, just as is the Liberal's love in with the CCP. It is as pathetic as it gets here in Canuckstan and it should be the very last place any one looks for strength, integrity, law enforcement, or any form of good governence. Canada has become a cesspool of the unlawful from it's Government in Ottawa, to its Institutions, and our once covetted RCMP!
This is the most ridiculous article I have seen in a long time. Living on Lake Huron the number of native fishing boats that meet with their American partners observed tells a very different story. At ten oclock at night I am sure they are not fishing. Then go to the reserve smoke shops where dope is the advertised product but OPP on record knowing that the sm0ke shakes have a full menu of hard drugs and probably guns but they cannot go there. Natives trying to shut down drugs, guns, cigarettes, aliens the perfect scam.

It's happening in all communities across this country but yes, the FN communities have been hit hard.

But thanks for reporting on it Sam and The Bureau
Some of them are trying, but there are a lot of competing forces including enablers on the reserves.

You need to understand the difference between FN people and those who control them. They are not one and the same.
Much like our Liberal politicians do not represent Canadians. Their first and only priority is their own power and self-enrichment.

Thank you Sam!

Another day, another failure of leadership. It's become all too predictable...
