How Mexico's drug war washed up on Canada's West Coast

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

If the War on the Cartels is washing up in Canada, why are we only hearing small grumbles here in the States? The Media and the Government all act like the battles are staying south of the border, but that is not true! The majority are staying south, but as refugees head north for safety, the gangs are following to kill them anyway.

It would take at least an army division to seal off each state border, and there is nothing like that happening. The navy and Marines could seal the ports, but that is also ignored. Posse Commitatus applies to the use of the army being used as police, not to repelling invaders. The Marines and sailors are exempt from that law and can do what they have to do to protect us. Give them the task and take off the leash!

Not that this Administration would ever take the leash off the military or law enforcement. They prefer to appease the drug lords by allowing the killings. Who knows, Chicago political figures might enjoy killing a few innocents just for kicks. Seems like it is happening already by the muzzle clamped on the mouths of the protectors.

Already this year in the Vancouver area - nicknamed the gang capital of Canada - there have been 30 shootings (with 12 fatalities) directly linked to the gang shakeout in Mexico and tracked by the Washington-based Council on Hemispheric Affairs. Some 130 gangs operate in B.C., among them Red Scorpions, United Nations, MS-13, Bacon Brothers, Hells Angels and various independents - all with ties of varying degrees to lucrative Mexican cocaine, among other drugs from other places.

"Vancouver and British Columbia are unfortunately the focus of the largest number of organized crime groups in Canada," warned Peter Van Loan, federal public safety minister and solicitor-general, in a speech in Langley this year. A few days earlier, a gangster died nearby in a Mexican-style execution by machine-gun fire at the Thunderbird Village Mall.

About Me

Belisarius

This is my place to vent a little and get things off my chest. I am a retired Marine who has interests in WMDs. Since WMD events are, thankfully, few in number, I spend a lot of time reading about people likely to use them. This takes me on some interesting tangents. I travel alot in my post retirement career and do not always have time to comment as I post articles. Give me a day or two to catch up if I skip comments, please.
