Corporate Media Finally Asks About the Non-existent “Fentanyl Crisis” from Canadian Border and the White House Continues to Lie About It

The Corporate Media are finally catching up on what I have been saying and publishing for a couple of weeks now here at Health Impact News, which is that Canada does NOT have a fentanyl problem coming across the border. As I have previously reported, only about 50 lbs. of fentanyl entered into the U.S. from Canada in ALL of 2024, and according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), only 56.1 grams of fentanyl were seized at the Canadian border last month (February, 2025), including 20 fentanyl pills. In the White House Press gallery yesterday, someone FINALLY addressed this question to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and asked what the real purpose of the Canadian tariffs was. Her answer shocked most people, so absurd was it, and it has been in the corporate media news stream yesterday and today. Listen for yourself as she basically refused to answer the question as to what the real reason was for tariffs against Canada, faced with the statistics of how much fentanyl is actually coming out of Canada, but then revealed the main reason for these tariffs later in the press conference. I don't think anybody in the corporate media wants to go on the record for stating that we do not have a fentanyl crisis at the border with Mexico, in spite of the fact that Trump proudly announced this past Tuesday in his joint address of Congress, that traffic at the border has almost ceased since he came into office. So since nobody else in the media will ask questions about this and theorize as to what the real reasons are for the Mexican tariffs, I will.

Donald Trump Continues to Lie About Fentanyl as he Envisions Himself as King of Israel Ruling from Gaza

President Donald Trump renewed his threats to impose a 25% tariff against imports from Canada and Mexico starting next week on March 4, while lying in public about what he is claiming is the reason for these tariffs, which he claims is that they are still allowing too much fentanyl to come across the border. As I have previously published, there were only 50 lbs. of fentanyl seized coming across the very long border from Canada for ALL of 2024. Have seizures of illegal fentanyl somehow increased here in 2025 coming into the U.S. from Canada to warrant these crippling tariffs? Here is what is being reported about fentanyl seizures from Canada in 2025 according to the Canada Border Services Agency: "Ahead of the looming March 4 deadline, Canada announced it was launching an effort, dubbed 'Operation Blizzard.' The effort is 'aimed at intercepting illegal contraband arriving and leaving Canada, with a focus on fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics,' according to a statement published by the Canada Border Services Agency Thursday morning. CBSA also shared that it seized 56.1 grams of fentanyl this month, including 20 fentanyl pills and 23 grams 'of a substance suspected to be fentanyl from two US citizens crossing at the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel port of entry.'” For those Americans who are math-challenged to understand metric weights, 28 grams is equal to about 1 ounce. So two ounces of fentanyl and 20 fentanyl pills here in 2025 are behind the "fentanyl crisis" coming out of Canada. Fortunately, we can learn what Trump's true reasons are for threatening Canada with tariffs, directly from Trump himself, in what appeared to be unscripted remarks he made after his staff meeting yesterday.

Trump Lies to the World as Crippling Illegal 25% Tariffs Forced on Canada and Mexico Through Emergency Orders Violating Trump’s Own Free Trade Agreement

President Donald Trump shocked the world today by doing the unthinkable: He used "emergency powers" to issue an executive order to impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada, the two largest trade partners with the United States, violating his own Free Trade Agreement between the two countries that he signed into law in 2018, during his first term. What is the reason that Trump gave to declare this "national emergency" to ignore and violate his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico? Trump invoked the International Emergency Economics Power Act (IEEPA) because of "The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including fentanyl." Really? This was actually the first time I have read about the "extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs" coming across the border from Canada! I looked up the stats on seized illegal fentanyl coming into the U.S. from 2024, and there were about 21,000 lbs. of illegal fentanyl seized at U.S. borders, and out of that 21,000 lbs., 50 lbs. came from Canada. Yes, you read that correctly. The "national emergency" that Trump just declared which included Canada over illegal fentanyl coming across the border and violated his own Free Trade agreement, was for 50 lbs. of fentanyl in 2024. Notice how Trump's threat to impose a 60% tariff against China, has now been reduced to 10%, while allies to the U.S. and members of Trump's own Free Trade Agreement got hit much worse. Unless this Emergency Order is challenged in court and stopped by a judge before it is supposed to be implemented on Tuesday this week, the impact on the U.S. economy will be swift, and potentially devastating.
