An Ontario man has pleaded guilty to running a drug-trafficking operation that U.S. officials say brought hundreds of kilograms of meth and cocaine worth up to US$17 million from the United States into Canada.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California says 62-year-old Guramrit Sidhu of Brampton, Ont., led the drug ring from September 2020 to February 2023.
