Public-Safety Problem: Canada and Fentanyl

public-safety problem: The main source of illicit fentanyl coming into Canada is from China by containers and through the mail and the majority of it is destined to B.C., Scheer said, according to National Observer. Now, obviously Canada must stop this flow of fentanyl into Canada. Speaking to municipal leaders at a convention in Quebec City, the opposition leader said opioid addiction and overdoses are both a health problem and a public-safety problem, and part of the solution is to restrict the supply. This is all the more urgent since sources have clearly indicated that the issue of imported fentanyl from China will get worse before it gets better. Fentanyl is more powerful than morphine or heroin and can be transported, cut with other substances, and sold as supposedly less potent than its drug cousins. So the government must take real action to hold China accountable for this phenomenon. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
