DEA threat assessment points to fentanyl ‘super laboratories’ in Canada

WASHINGTON — The United States Drug Enforcement Administration’s latest threat assessment says fentanyl “super laboratories” in Canada are a growing source of concern.
U.S. President Donald Trump has used cross-border traffic in the deadly drug to justify hitting imports of Canadian goods with tariffs.
The annual report says that while the estimated volume of fentanyl coming from Canada is substantially lower than the amount entering the U.S. from Mexico, “these operations have the potential to expand.”
The DEA pointed out that the RCMP dismantled a sophisticated drug lab in British Columbia last October.
