A former trucker from Florida has been sentenced to more than four years in U.S. prison after smuggling handguns into Canada that were later recovered at 10 crime scenes in Ontario and Quebec, and linked to two killings.
Court documents reviewed by CBC News provide a rare glimpse into a cross-border pipeline for crime guns.
The scheme saw U.S. firearms purchased legally, then transported up to 2,000 kilometres north to be re-sold to a Canadian trafficker for the retail price of the gun, plus a $1,000 fee for each weapon.
One of the weapons was found in Toronto after what police described as a “reckless” shootout in November 2024 that they said highlighted the “real and present danger” posed by illegal firearms.
The past couple of weeks, I have been seeing a bunch of news about USA smugglers bringing weapons and drugs to other countries.
When people say that USA politicians speech are mostly projection, it is very ironic to see that it is to this extent
