OTTAWA — The Canada Border Services Agency says more than 67 per cent of the drugs seized during a month-long cross-country operation were coming into Canada from the United States.
Operation Blizzard took place between February and March and targeted illegal drugs and precursor chemicals transported by mail, air cargo or marine container.
In a news release, CBSA says that it conducted over 2,600 seizures of suspected narcotics and precursors across the country and just 17.5 per cent of the total was destined for the United States.
The operation included 116 seizures of fentanyl, amounting to 1.73 kilograms of the deadly drug.
