What seems to be happening is that some of the drugs are coming into Canada from Latin America & the Caribbean, Asia and Europe and then coming into some of our more northern states. Still, for most drugs, it usually remains as you said: drugs heading north.
The serious drug and people smuggling across the u.s. - Canada frontier takes place in the wilderness, far from border posts.
