    Fentanyl is the preferred opiate in hospitals. Cheaper per dose. US used to be able to “influence” Afghanistan to help its drug trade profits. Fentanyl is cheap because it doesn’t need controlled plants in addition to potency.

    Hard to get an exact number for hospital theft amount of fentanyl, but

    3,600 cases of alleged drug theft at healthcare facilities over the last five years, including 280 cases so far in 2020.

    111,000 instances here where the folks that were reviewing [drug inventories] could not figure out why the math didn’t add up,"

    What is almost certain is that US healthcare system is a larger source of illegal fentanyl than Canada. If the absurdity that it is a WMD is taken, there should be military security around hospitals before it’s placed at the borders.

    The death potential of the vial of Anthrax Colin Powell quoted to UN was based on using an eye dropper to kill individuals one by one. WMDs actually require mass deaths from one event as a definition.

    Canada needs to immediately stop military cooperation with US. Kick them out of NORAD unless they pay high rent. Stop threatening US enemies, and accepting them as our own.
