Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is vowing fentanyl drug “kingpins” will receive life imprisonment if he becomes prime minister.

Canada needs legislative changes to deter criminals from participating in the trade, Poilievre said. His comments come as Ottawa ramps up the fight against the deadly synthetic opioid in the face of U.S. tariff threats.
