The CBP seized 5,260 kilograms of drugs at the northern border in 2024 — a lot of it was cannabis — compared to the 8,300 kilograms Canadian officials intercepted coming from the U.S. in the same year, according to a CBC News review of CBP and CBSA data.
"In 2022, CBSA seized 581 firearms coming into Canada from the U.S. — that figure jumped to 839 last year, according to the agency's data.
There's one area where there has been a decrease in seizures — the amount of fentanyl coming from the U.S. into Canada and intercepted by CBSA dropped from 1,070 grams two years ago to 532 grams in 2024. But the amount of fentanyl intercepted from non-U.S. countries at the Canadian border jumped from 2,812 grams to 4,403 grams in that same period.
With U.S. officials reporting 19,500 grams of fentanyl seized at the northern border last year, Canada is still not a significant source of the drug entering the U.S. Less than one per cent of all fentanyl seized in the U.S. comes from Canada, according to Canadian government data.
Regardless of which way the drugs 'flow,' the amounts are trivial. It is illegal guns smuggled into Canada that is the problem.
