Canadian federal officers have dismantled what they described to be the largest, most sophisticated drug lab in the country's history, seizing a massive cache of weapons and drugs intended for both international and domestic distribution.
The facility, described by police officers as a drug 'superlab,' contained enough fentanyl and precursor chemicals to produce more than 95.5 million potentially lethal doses of fentanyl, an amount that 'could have taken the lives of every Canadian, at least twice over.'
The raid also allowed investigators to learn of large stores of methamphetamine that had been prepared for shipment and were destined for international export.
Authorities in Canada and the United States have been grappling with record numbers of opioid overdose deaths in recent years, and the spread of drug labs in Canada poses a potential challenge to drug enforcement in the United States.
