Fentanyl super labs in Canada

A recent report in The Washington Post highlighted the apparent increase in heavy production fentanyl labs in Canada. 

In October, Canadian police found 2.5 million doses of fentanyl and 528 gallons of chemicals in a shipping container and a storage unit. Six months earlier they raided another property that was packed with barrels of chemicals for fentanyl production.

In August, outside Toronto, police found what is believed to be the largest fentanyl lab in Canada so far, in a property 30 miles from the U.S. border crossing at Niagara Falls. 

According to the article"U.S. authorities say they have little indication that Canadian-made fentanyl is being smuggled south in significant quantities. But at a time when record numbers of people are dying from overdoses in the United States, the spread of clandestine fentanyl labs in Canada has the potential to undermine U.S. enforcement efforts and worsen the opioid epidemic in both nations."
