00:13:55.060And he is an expert in foreign meddling in our country.
00:14:00.380Sometimes that might be from Iran.0.57
00:14:02.240Sometimes it might be from communist China.
00:14:04.640Let me read you one of the latest pieces that Sam wrote, and then we'll join him in a moment.
00:14:09.280The headline is, U.S. indictment alleges Canada border agent insider sold inspection schedules to Indo-Mexican cartel network moving 100 kilograms weekly into British Columbia.
00:14:27.760Wow, that headline alone is packed with facts.
00:14:31.900joining us now is Sam Cooper. Sam, are you saying that they had a man on the inside
00:14:37.480who is tipping them off on when they could bring these things into Canada?
00:14:42.080That's right, Ezra. The U.S. government indictment is absolutely sprawling. It targets three
00:14:48.280alleged indo-transnational narcotics trafficking groups. It makes a wide range of allegations,
00:14:56.960as you know, including that these gangs are involved in extortion, political targeting across
00:15:03.100North America. But what I focused on and broke before anyone else noticed was the U.S. government
00:15:08.380alleges these Indo-transnational narcos set up in Vancouver had a system where one of their actors
00:15:17.400was allegedly bribing a Canada Border Services agent so that they could get the schedules of
00:15:24.340when, you know, vehicles are inspected crossing the British Columbia-Washington state border.
00:15:31.640This is one of the major border crossings in North America. And as I already knew from my
00:15:38.060sources in Canadian agencies, that it was a major crossing for cartels that tend to use
00:15:45.500Indo-Canadian trucking networks. These are the same networks tied to the Ryan Wedding alleged
00:15:51.840Sinaloa cartel case. And this indictment confirms what I was being told, that Canadian corruption
00:15:58.320has opened the border. And these Indo-Canadian groups in Vancouver said openly, they are starting
00:16:05.860a new cartel with Mexicans. Wow. Now, help me understand here, because if it's a Canadian that
00:16:12.100was bribed, I would imagine the Canadian would know Canadian inspections. What direction do
00:16:17.960these cartels ship things, or is it both ways? Well, the major flow of how this transnational
00:16:26.060narcotics scheme works is Canada, as you know, Ezra, I've reported, has become an absolute
00:16:32.420hotspot for international narcotics transshipment, fentanyl production. And so we have Mexican0.99
00:16:40.500cartel proxies, as I say, supplied and funded by Chinese Communist Party networks, working with
00:16:48.600Iranian state actors using, I say, proxies like Ryan Wedding, the former Olympian, Hell's Angels,0.86
00:16:56.760and these Indian Punjabi-based transnational gangs are part of a scheme where they are bringing0.67
00:17:03.220literally tractor loads of cocaine and methamphetamine from Mexican cartels,
00:17:09.300picking them up in los angeles and sacramento and bringing that supply most of up most of it
00:17:15.520up into canada also into the united states ezreal just add what this u.s indictment doesn't cover
00:17:21.980yet is the fentanyl production side of these gangs right which would include the falkland super lab
00:17:27.980what my american sources called the largest fentanyl lab ever discovered in the world
00:17:32.360and one by the way that would be connected to ryan wedding's associates wow now these are new
00:17:39.580i mean everyone's heard of the mafia before in fact they made a lot of movies about them there
00:17:43.320was something i think maybe romantic or dramatic about them um and and everyone's heard of the
00:17:49.720hell's angels but some of these new gangs they're rather new in canada i keep hearing about this
00:17:57.260Bishnoi, B-I-S-H-N-O-I gang. And to my ear, that sounds like a Russian word, but I think they're0.99
00:18:04.820Indian from South Asia. What is the Bishnoi gang? Who are they? And I saw a picture of a license
00:18:13.140plate. I think it was a BC license plate that said Bishnoi in it. So they're not very shy about
00:18:18.820announcing themselves. Give our viewers who might not have heard of it, and I've only heard of it
00:18:22.740like five minutes ago who is the bishnoi gang and what are they doing ezra this is a very deep file
00:18:30.540this new u.s indictment covers some of it but i'll give you the coles notes here uh across canada and
00:18:37.100north america indian transnational gangs directed from india in the case of the bishnoi gang from
00:18:44.320the namesake mr bishnoi who's sitting in an indian jail cell he has been directing according to the
00:18:50.340U.S. indictment, assassinations of what tend to be, I would call them Punjabi Sikh religion,
00:18:59.300often separatist gangsters in North America. So this is a major story where extortions have
00:19:05.420been happening across the South Asian diaspora in Canada. But that's just one side of the scheme.
00:19:11.840Ezra, it's reported and documented that the Indian gangs have leveraged Canada's student visa0.51
00:19:18.200system, Canada's weak borders, and they send essentially Indian students to, we can say,0.98
00:19:26.320invade Canada's borders, set up in Canada to commit crime, including extortions and narcotics0.97
00:19:32.920trafficking. And that, in a nutshell, is the Bishnoy gang. And I'll end by saying this,0.96
00:19:38.960the famous political assassination of Mr. Hardeep Nijar in Surrey in 2023. The Bishnoi gang is1.00
00:19:49.780charged in court for that, let's just call it, whether it's a gang killing or as our former
00:19:56.900Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged years ago that it was a hostile state activity.
00:20:03.180There's different theories on what happened there, but Bishnoi is behind it, U.S. government says.
00:20:07.860Now, I remember not too long ago, a letter was sent to law enforcement in BC bragging about having a thousand gunmen on the street. Is that related to this gang activity? It's a vague recollection, but that shows an audacity. They're sort of daring the Canadian police to do something about them.
00:20:30.280That's exactly correct, Ezra. And I would agree with your phrase, audacity, brazenness, absolutely fearless of Canadian law, because Ezra, as I've reported at the Bureau, Canada has gaping loopholes from border controls to lacking what are called anti-racketeering laws, lacking foreign interference laws.
00:20:50.960And the Bishnoi gang indeed is rubbing it in the face of Canada's national police and local police.
00:20:57.940Ezra, I would add that, you know, my reporting for the Bureau from senior U.S. government source says the RCMP was asked six years ago by a senior U.S. government agency to do a co-investigation against the exact scheme that's outlined in this indictment.
00:21:16.880That is, Indo-Canadian trucking companies have been taken over by mafias, which would be connected to this Vishnoy group.
00:21:24.300The U.S. government wanted to work with the RCMP.
00:21:26.720My sources credibly said the RCMP stonewalled them.
00:21:30.100And that goes into many different investigations.
00:21:33.300You know, I remember when Donald Trump said he wanted to stop the drugs and stop the people smuggling across the border.
00:21:39.440And a lot of people snickered at him and said, come on, that's your Mexican border you're talking about.
00:21:44.160It sounds like maybe Trump had the intel in front of him. It sounds like he knew this was happening, but it looks like in some way it was American investigation. Maybe it was a joint effort, American and Canadian police. Would you say this would have happened without the U.S. side? I don't know if that was the FBI or the DEA.
00:22:08.360Ezra, I've reported repeatedly from U.S. government sources that the RCMP lacks the initiative. The RCMP lacks the laws. I reported in 2025 from Canadian sources that corruption in the CPSA was a known issue and a concern to the American government to the point where they were concerned with sharing information with Canada.
00:22:31.500So I've detailed case after case, including Ryan Wedding, where the RCMP is not the initiator.
00:22:38.720What we're seeing here, Ezra, is U.S. government is treating Canada as what's called a semi-domestic national security threat concern.
00:22:47.080That is, the U.S. government is reaching into Canada and investigating issues that Canada either lacks the capacity or will to.
00:22:55.280That would include the U.S. consulate shooting, other things happening to synagogues in Toronto.
00:23:21.580but you know maybe there's things going on in the background or maybe he didn't want to spook
00:23:26.760anything but if the U.S. has to come in and protect us from criminals that is a scary thing and
00:23:32.540you know I think that the prime minister was elected in part on I will defend the sovereignty
00:23:37.500of Canada I mean I'm grateful that foreign police are helping to mop up our gang problem but it's1.00
00:23:45.360sort of pitiful in a way that we rely on foreigners for our own law enforcement I mean I'm grateful1.00
00:23:51.220We know that a large number of arrests in Canada come from tips from the RCMP, sorry, the FBI, or cooperation with the FBI.1.00
00:24:01.940Maybe they also do advanced signals like wiretapping or probably not called wiretapping anymore.
00:24:09.660They probably have spy systems that are beyond Canada's.
00:24:14.560I don't know. I'm grateful that they're helping us, but it is sort of embarrassing that we have to outsource our police work to a foreign country.1.00
00:24:21.220Ezra, I've reported again on this issue a lot, and I will say with 100% confidence, the U.S. DEA agency especially has military-grade intelligence that initiates a lot of the serious investigations in Canada.
00:24:37.720But as it turns out, the RCMP lacks the laws to often use American intelligence in court.
00:24:46.880And to your point about Ambassador Hoekstra, I do believe he's doing what a diplomat should
00:24:51.940and being diplomatic to the RCMP and to Mark Carney's government.
00:24:56.480But I think there's a lot of behind the scenes, let's just call it a little bit of pressure
00:25:01.980on elbows in Ottawa that Canadians should be thankful for, I believe.
00:25:05.420Yeah. You know, the Sikh diaspora in Canada is so large, it really is disproportionate.1.00
00:25:12.720And then Canada, on a proportionate basis, is much more Sikh even than India is, if I'm not mistaken on my math there.
00:25:19.840And there are very prominent Sikh politicians in a variety of parties.
00:25:24.360Jagmeet Singh just finished being leader of the NDP.
00:25:26.820There are prominent Sikhs in both the liberal and the conservative parties.
00:25:30.300They're a very politically active group.
00:25:32.120And I know that Sikh extremism is a very sensitive topic, and it wouldn't surprise me if you have orders right from the top saying, turn a blind eye because it's just politically uncomfortable to talk about that.
00:25:47.200And remember Rudy Giuliani, the great prosecutor who then went on to become the mayor of New York.
00:25:53.020In the end, he was the guy who really mopped up the mafia crime.
00:25:57.780and maybe it took an italian prosecutor to take on italian american mafia because he wasn't worried
00:26:05.920about the political look of it because he wanted to take the word italian back from him and he did
00:26:11.200he was a hero to everybody of course for that um maybe maybe there's a political incorrectness
00:26:18.160maybe we need a crusading prosecutor justice minister who is seek himself who says i'm going
00:26:25.040to stomp out this the same way rudy giuliani went after the mafia i don't know i'm just daydreaming
00:26:30.300i don't see any anyone who would fit that bill uh ezra i completely agree we we need well what
00:26:37.840we would need is we would need a a high level of mandarin speaking chinese canadian prosecutor
00:26:43.880an iranian canadian or persian community prosecutor an indian community prosecutor
00:26:49.440a bangladeshi community prosecutor i'm not being trite here canada's hamil to go after
00:26:54.860The prominent Tamil guy we have is Gary Anandasangri, who actually was working on the other side.
00:27:01.560Well, that's the irony that I hope that you are about to pick up on.
00:27:05.040I don't want to say anything unkind, but our current public safety minister has had to recuse himself from some files.0.79
00:27:12.940So I don't I don't currently see a very great leadership in Canada to tackle a growing concern that diaspora based transnational crime is probably the greatest sovereignty and national security threat to Canada is what my U.S. government credible senior sources tell me.0.98
00:27:31.480And I believe them. Wow. Well, Sam, it's great to catch up with you.1.00
