Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for Canada's increasing fentanyl crisis, blaming him for both the drug issue and a strained trade relationship with the United States.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Poilievre accused Trudeau of working with the BC NDP to decriminalize hard drugs and reduce prison sentences for those manufacturing fentanyl. He urged the prime minister to reverse drug decriminalization policies, arguing that doing so would save Canadian lives and protect jobs.
Notably, incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Canada and Mexico of a 25% tariff on all goods entering the U.S. unless they intensify efforts to combat cross-border drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.
