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. Not a valid attachment ID.
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?
