"Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president's actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat," says the statement.

If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.

Ironically, we all know the fent is from China and it’s flowing here to fuck us up as a plan to crush us.

Unfortunately I don't see every post that's ever posted to Lemmy, so yes I missed it.

Thanks for the link though.

These guys sound totally unbias...

The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is committed to working on a bipartisan basis to build consensus on the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party and develop a plan of action to defend the American people, our economy, and our values.

Yes, I do agree that it reads pretty bad in the introduction. They should’ve run the shit through an LLM to cool it down a little bit. There was actually a place where it compares the number of deaths per day to an airplane full of people. Just try to filter that crap out and get to the data.

I didn't know that. I always assumed it was big drug companies with a backdoor illicit business.

I think that’s pretty rare. They can push through doctors and keep their hands super clean. Now, there have been issues of misleading marketing, overproduction, and failure to report suspicious orders.

There are several other articles available online, but here is a pdf.
