New data from Canadian health authorities reveals that almost 50,000 people have died from opioid overdoses from early 2016 to June 2024, with fentanyl increasingly implicated in these deaths. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized Canada for not doing enough to prevent fentanyl flow into the U.S. and is threatening a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. Despite a slight decrease in overdose deaths in early 2024, Health Minister Yaara Saax warns that the crisis remains at critical levels and requires comprehensive solutions.
