1. Una Concesión a la Presión Estadounidense.
La creación del puesto es ampliamente interpretada como una maniobra diplomática para satisfacer las demandas del gobierno de EE. UU., particularmente de Donald Trump, y así evitar la imposición de aranceles, a pesar de que los datos muestran que Canadá no es una fuente principal de fentanilo para Estados Unidos.
- Canada has a new fentanyl czar as the orange felon demanded. It's a tough job but someone has to crack down on that 40 lbs. Of fentanyl that crosses the border each year.
- Breaking: in response to trump's threat of tariffs, justin trudeau has just announced canada's new fentanyl czar.
- Canada has officially named its new “fentanyl czar” to appease that idiot child on the other side of the border.
- We’re installing a ‘fentanyl czar’ to prop up trump’s lie about canada being a major source of that drug. That is how you curry favour with a despot. We’ve won nothing.
- So under pressure from “the whitehouse” trudeau needs to appoint a fentanyl czar? don’t like that title. Makes me think russian mobster.
2. Escepticismo por el Mínimo Tráfico de Fentanilo.
Numerosos comentarios señalan la ironía de nombrar un 'zar' para un problema considerado minúsculo. Las cifras citadas sobre la cantidad de fentanilo incautado (a menudo entre 20 y 43 libras anuales) se contrastan con las enormes cantidades provenientes de la frontera sur, lo que lleva a calificar el puesto como innecesario o un 'trabajo de ensueño'.
- Canada plans to appoint a "fentanyl czar" even though, according to us figures, the amount of the drug going to the us from canada was less than 20kg in a year, compared to 9,00kg from mexico.
- C’mon. In all fairness we really do need a fentanyl czar for the 43 pounds of fentanyl seized at the canada/us border in 2024.
- A "fentanyl czar"? shaking my head. Over a billion dollars to be spent on canadian side for the 43 pounds of fentanyl? a joint canada-us strike force? trump can't be trusted.
- Being fentanyl czar in canada would have to a pretty cushy job, considering they found less than 50 pounds of it at the border last year.
- The so-called "fentanyl czar" will oversee the stopping of a whopping "43 pounds" of fentanyl that crosses the canadian border, compared with 21,00 from mexico. You maga who are applauding are really stupid, almost as clueless as trump. Almost.
3. Críticas al Título y Sarcasmo Público.
El término 'zar' es criticado por su connotación autoritaria y su origen ruso, considerado poco apropiado para Canadá. Esta disconformidad ha generado una ola de sarcasmo, con usuarios proponiendo candidatos humorísticos para el puesto y ridiculizando la seriedad de la medida.
- Canada has appointed a fentanyl czar …. I hope we can come up with a better title for him. We do not have czars in canada and it’s not time to start.
- At this point canada should choose a scarecrow at the border and that could be our fentanyl czar.
- I think canada should appoint doug ford as the fentanyl czar. He has lots of experience with drugs.
- Please use a different title than fentanyl czar. Canada is not part of russia or us.
- Fentanyl czar?? c’mon! where’s the poetry. It should be “fentanyl sentinel”. Next we need a tariff sheriff!
- Since trump has demanded canada appoint a fentanyl czar, may i suggest we choose tommy chong.
4. El Flujo Inverso: Armas y Drogas desde EE. UU.
Una perspectiva recurrente es que el 'zar del fentanilo' debería centrarse en detener el flujo de drogas y armas ilegales que ingresan a Canadá desde Estados Unidos, un problema que muchos consideran más grave que el tráfico hacia el sur. Se sugiere que este es el verdadero propósito o la tarea más útil para el nuevo cargo.
- I have faith in canada’s new fentanyl czar to stem the flow of drugs and guns into canada from the usa.
- The real purpose of canada's new fentanyl czar or whatever we want to call it, should be to secure the border against all the drugs and guns coming into canada from the us.
- The “fentanyl czar” will keep illegal american guns out of canada. Thank you very much.
- Canada’s new fentanyl czar (what a joke) will probably find more fentanyl entering canada from the us than vice versa. What then?
- Rename the "fentanyl" czar to the "keep american drugs and guns out of canada" czar.
