In 2025, #CBSA protected communities, intercepted threats and disrupted criminal networks. We're strengthening the border. 2026 so far: over 17,500 kg drugs, 180 firearms, 3,790 weapons seized and 400 inadmissible people removed from Canada weekly.
One year ago, the federal government set out a plan with clear priorities: bring down costs, build one Canadian economy, protect our sovereignty, and strengthen partnerships with reliable partners.
We’re making progress and staying focused on delivering for Canadians.

A #CBSA seizure of synthetic opioids at the International Mail Processing Centre in the #GTA led to the dismantling of a clandestine drug lab and charges in Kawartha Lakes.
A six-month drug trafficking investigation by members of the #CityofKawarthaLakesOPP Community Street Crime Unit, with assistance from several policing and partner agencies including #CBSA, has led to the seizure of more than $1 million worth of highly potent synthetic opioids.
As a result, a 37-year-old Emily Township resident has been charged with multiple offences, including trafficking, importation, and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
This investigation highlights the value of collaboration among policing and partner agencies in disrupting dangerous drug activity and enhancing community safety.

Une enquête de six mois sur le trafic de drogues menée par des membres de l’Unité de lutte contre la criminalité de rue dans la collectivité de la #CityofKawarthaLakesOPP, avec l’aide de plusieurs services de police et organismes partenaires, dont l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada, a abouti à la saisie d’opioïdes synthétiques très puissants d’une valeur de plus d’un million de dollars.
À la suite de cette enquête, une résidente de la municipalité d’Emily, âgée de 37 ans, a été accusée de plusieurs infractions, notamment de trafic, d’importation et de possession en vue du trafic.
Cette enquête souligne l’importance de la collaboration entre les services de police et les organismes partenaires pour démanteler les activités liées aux drogues dangereuses et renforcer la sécurité de la collectivité.
