A way that the Canadian authorities crack down on members of organized crime is not through directly charging them with producing or conspiracy to traffic.

they will crack down on their ownership of a home.

And then they no longer have a place to run operations.

So that home gets taken away.

It's that particular real estate is under investigation along with the people, but it operates a little bit differently and it hinders the way that they're able to work.

But mentioning the law enforcement is even though they know that this is going on, the resources just are not there.

And I have a really good source who is with the RCMP.

That's Canada's National Police Force.

And he specializes in organized crime.

And we talk about that 1% of fentanyl number very frequently because he says...

Neither my colleagues nor myself believe that number because we have seen so many operations go under the radar, especially when they're working undercover.

And I said, well, why isn't there a crackdown then?

Why aren't they stopping it?

And why is the Canadian government only implementing a fentanyl czar when Trump is telling them to crack down, not when thousands of people are dying on a monthly basis from fentanyl use?

And he explicitly tells me it's because they just don't have the means to do it.

They haven't even been able to crack down on local gangland.

How are they now supposed to focus on transnational crime organizations?

The head of RCMP was asked just recently, how many organized crime groups, individual organized crime groups, do you think are operating in Canada right now?

And he responds, it's on video.

I don't have a number off the top of my head.
