Show Notes
Canada is a big importer of illicit drugs, but many Canadians might not know that we’re also sending shipments of drugs like methamphetamines overseas, to Australia and elsewhere in the south Pacific.
This is being driven by gangs in Canada, but also Canadians overseas who are highly ranked in drug trafficking networks.
Vancouver Sun crime reporter Kim Bolan joins the show to discuss her investigation into Canadian gangs’ involvement in international drug trafficking networks, what authorities in other countries have to say about the problem, and the human toll once these drugs hit the streets.
