The United States has a better record of prosecuting drug traffickers than Alberta, where cases often go unpunished.
• The historic operation to seize 40.5 kg of cocaine in Edmonton allowed Randhir Singh Gill to walk free without explanation from Alberta prosecutors.
•Meanwhile, Gurpal Singh Gill, arrested for transporting 95.7 kg of cocaine in Montana, was sentenced to 5 years in prison and 2 years of supervised release under US law after choosing to plead guilty.
•MP Tim Uppal's brother, Raymanpreet Singh Uppal, also had his drug trafficking charges dismissed twice by Alberta prosecutors in 2008 and 2014.
• In a 2024 raid on a British Columbia super lab, despite seizing half a billion dollars worth of drugs, only one person, Gaganpreet Randhawa, a repeat offender, was arrested. His 2017 conviction for drug trafficking? Only 90 days in jail, served over the weekend. tweeload_19d57f14.mp4
Why spend $29 million on border policing when our laws, prosecutors and courts can't seem to stop the traffickers @ABDanielleSmith ?
Organized crime feels safe investing in Canada because our system doesn't enforce meaningful consequences.
We can devote unlimited resources to law enforcement, but without real deterrence, we're treating the symptoms, not the disease. If we don't want traffickers entering the United States, we also don't want them poisoning our population, do we?
And if the Bill of Rights and Freedoms does not meet the needs of ordinary citizens, but comes to the aid of drug traffickers in their time of need, perhaps it can be replaced, as it replaced the Bill of Rights in 1982.
If criminals feel safe enough in Canada to invest half a billion dollars, it's clear that we need serious change, change that goes beyond avoiding Trump's tariffs. Are Canadian lives worth less than American lives?
