Guns seized at the border…
Bwaahahahahaha. Those darn spoons! Leave Rosie alone!
But all kidding aside, guns were seized by law enforcement, big criminal organisation taken down.
Guns…and stuff…
“Quite frankly, we are shocked by the extent of this criminal enterprise that we have uncovered in this investigation,” Blair told a news conference a few hours after the raids Thursday. “It is most certainly a source of a vast number of the illegal handguns that have been making their way onto the streets of Toronto that have caused so much of the death and destruction and fear in our communities. And we believe that by shutting down this network, we have today stemmed a fairly significant source of guns coming into our community.”

In the initial investigation stemming from the tip about the smuggled handguns, 35 weapons were seized. Of those, Blair said 24 have been linked to the original cache of weapons smuggled into Canada in 2006. At the same time, police also seized 59 kilograms of methamphetamine, 400,000 ecstasy tablets, three kilograms of cocaine, 60 kilograms of marijuana and a large quantity of cash.
On April 29, a further drug seizure at an industrial complex in Mississauga, Ont., netted an equally “astounding quantity of drugs” with an estimated street value of more than $160 million, Blair said.

…yeah. Stuff.
Ok, I feel like saying something on this subject. I saw a tv commercial years ago, the subject was drugs and the things YOU support when you use drugs. You had young adults looking into the camera, saying things like “I financed the killing of a judge in Colombia”. That type of thing.
At the time, I didn’t agree, although I did understand there was a correlation between buying drugs here and the drug cartels in foreign countries.
Today, my money is a political tool. I chose businesses which fit my needs and I stay away from businesses I don’t approve.
I feel good about that.
