This February, Canada, led by the once-untouchable progressive darling Justin Trudeau, pulled a move no one saw coming: it caved to President Donald Trump’s pressure and classified five Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.
That’s right—the Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Gulf Cartel, New Michoacán Family, and United Cartels now share a list with the likes of Hezbollah and Hamas. According to Canada’s Public Safety Minister David McGuinty, this move aims to choke off the fentanyl flow and arm police with legal tools to crush these mafias.
*The World Trembles: Cartels are now terrorists* .
But let’s not kid ourselves: this wasn’t Trudeau’s epiphany. It was a total surrender to Trump, who, since his January 20 inauguration, has made crushing the posters his top priority.
Just a day earlier, on February 19, the US State Department, under Marco Rubio’s leadership, had already branded eight Latin American criminal groups as terrorists, including the Mexican cartels named above.
Trump, with his relentless style, threatened Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs if they didn’t fall in line with his anti-drug crusade. And Trudeau—the hug-loving, selfie-obsessed hero—folded like a cheap suit.
Canada’s decision came with a bonus announcement: 10,000 troops to guard its US border, a direct echo of Trump’s demands.

Meanwhile, Mexico, under the leftist grip of Claudia Sheinbaum, is throwing a tantrum, crying “sovereignty violations.” The result? Canada aligns with Trump’s hard-right stance, leaving Mexico’s 4T as the lone clown in a circus refusing to face reality.
