Security Failure is Putting Every Canadian at Risk | Scott McGregor

from Return to Reason · host Return to Reason

What if Canada's biggest security weakness isn't the border... but our ports?  Former RCMP intelligence official Scott McGregor says Canada's Pacific ports have become a major target for organized crime because only a small percentage of cargo is inspected. He argues criminal networks know exactly how to exploit the system and it's happening in plain sight.  Why haven't governments fixed it? How do traffickers move illegal cargo through Canada's supply chains? And why does McGregor believe these security gaps are the result of failed public policy rather than a lack of resources?  From organized crime and the fentanyl crisis to trade, national security, and Canada's economic future, McGregor explains why this issue affects every Canadian and the policy changes he says are needed before the problem gets even worse.
