After the death of a major cartel leader in Mexico, violence briefly flared but authorities moved quickly to restore order. What actually happened, and what does it signal about stability in the region? 

More importantly, what does this mean for Canada? Are cartel networks operating here? Has Canada’s immigration and border policy kept pace with evolving security risks? 

Security analyst Scott McGregor and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, join David Leis to break down the aftermath of the cartel leader’s death, how Mexico responded, and what policy lessons Canada should be considering now.
