I’m not normalizing his statement but to suggest that drugs aren’t an issue in Toronto, that you can walk around and won’t see it, is wrong. His statement is idiotic

Never said it wasn’t an issue. Of course it is. But again, I have American family and I have spent a fair amount of time in most American major cities. Believe me, it is not comparable.1/2

So it’s ok to say we have a problem, but not in the context of when an American politician is spreading propaganda. They are normalizing this nonsense to justify their next move. We cannot help them in any way.

I agree. It’s fair to say that their views on the border and Canada having fentanyl labs are bogus. And fentanyl is coming into Canada from the US. But I suspect drug use is growing in Toronto, as is homelessness.
