20kg of fentanyl were seized on Canada’s border last year, as compared with just shy of 10,000kg on the Mexico-US border. We do not, meaningfully, have a fentanyl problem in Canada. Like, yeah, harmful drugs are bad, but this isn’t the sort of thing that demands some kind of all out response.
Which means the only reason he’s proposing this is as a way of kowtowing to Trump.
Personally, I’d like a prime minister who stands up to bullies, but maybe that’s just me.
