Canada's Most Violent Cartels: Sinaloa & CJNG's Massive Vancouver Operations (with Sam Cooper)

Listen to this episode from Borderland: Narcosis with Vincent 'Rocco' Vargas on Spotify. On this week’s episode, Vince talks to Canadian investigative journalist Sam Cooper about how Canada has quietly become a key hub for transnational organized crime. Cooper explains how Chinese triads, Mexican cartels like Sinaloa and CJNG, and other international networks use Canadian real estate, casinos, and financial systems to launder money and move narcotics. They discuss how encrypted apps, legal loopholes, and limited enforcement have enabled these operations to expand with little resistance. The conversation also explores concerns around foreign interference, national security, and what this means for both U.S. and Canadian border policy.
