Write your MP ASAP. This bill is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and unCanadian.

The problem as far as I've read from Sam Cooper is the lack of policies like racketeering laws in Canada, thus we are used worldwide by criminal entities for laundering money. Which is likely the larger issue Trump has with drugs, and likely is a big reason how housing in Vancouver can be millions of dollars when the median salary is less than 70k.

Theres a long form interview here, Sam Cooper is a journalist who wrote Wilfull Blindness:

So let's get racketeering laws?

Well I'm just speculating where this is going, that the US wants to control our legal system in exchange for tariff relief.

The current sitting US president is pardoning the worst drug dealers and gang members.
