“What you are seeing is more drug investigations, more drug seizures and more weapon seizures as a result of this co-ordinated regional approach,” told Rocca.“Saint John police has a list of active drug traffic locations.” Since Aug. 1, 2022, the force has conducted at least seven seizures of drugs through the region and has arrested at least 24 suspects during that time. Rocca noted he expects to see the trend continue.

Of the seized material, illicit fentanyl was at the top, Rocca said. He noted that there had been a sharp increase in the number of overdose calls between 2020 and 2022.

Comment: Why Canada should not deploy a military force to HaitiFrom a strategic level, what would be the aim of such a deployment? Would it be to bring peace and security to the country? Or give aid to military forces in general? Stay out of that disaster area of indoctrinated uneducated violent country. There is zero help that would make a difference there. Just leave it and let it burn itself out. We have to stop interfering in these awful countries issues. We just make the worse. Because they don’t have one?
