Ask Dr. Drew Investigator: Fentanyl From China Fuels US Homelessness, Enters Country Via Corrupt Canadian Officials w/ Sam Cooper & Elex Michaelson – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 497
Sam Cooper’s investigation reveals Canadian officials’ ties to Chinese (CCP) election interference in 2019 and 2021, alongside Vancouver’s role as a hub for CCP-led money laundering and espionage – and vast amounts of fentanyl entering the USA.
Detailed in his book Wilful Blindness (available at https://amzn.to/4ecCeeU), Cooper uncovers a sophisticated operation by China’s United Front Work Department, triads, and the Big Circle Boys, allegedly laundering fentanyl drug money through Vancouver casinos like Parq and River Rocks since 1986. He says this fueled Vancouver’s housing market bubble and the opioid epidemic, destabilizing Western societies. Cooper alleges open collaboration between the Chinese Communist Party and Canadian officials, including the Prime Minister and MPs, to influence the 2019 and 2021 elections.
Sam Cooper is an investigative journalist and founder of The Bureau. His bestselling book, Wilful Blindness, exposed election interference. Awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025. More at https://x.com/scoopercooper
