What most people do not understand is that the narco-boat blown up by the U.S. is no major blow to the cartel. They factor in a loss of anywhere from 5 to 20%, knowing that the money they will gain from the remaining 80-95% will keep them afloat and going strong.
Investigative reporter Katarina Szulc uncovers how Mexican cartels - especially the Sinaloa Cartel - are still moving drugs internationally and why Canada has become a major hub for trafficking.
From marine routes into the Port of Vancouver, to corrupt longshoremen and ties with South Asian and Chinese gangs, the networks are vast and highly organized.
We explore:
How drugs bypass the U.S. by moving through Canada
The role of Vancouver’s ports and their weak oversight
Partnerships with Canadian gangs like the United Nations gang and Brothers Keepers
Why Canada’s lighter sentences and underfunded law enforcement make it a haven for organized crime
How ordinary Canadians are recruited to smuggle drugs into the U.S.
This in-depth conversation sheds light on how cartels adapt to global markets and exploit systemic weaknesses.
