... will make a truly meaningful difference on the 0.2% of opioids arriving in the US via the Canadian border rather than from further south : )

I am not sure how anybody could know how much comes across each border. As far as I know, cartels don't fill out customs declarations.

The usual assumption is that the illegal flows are roughly in proportion to the seizures. The 0.2% figure is from recent seizure ratios. i.e., about 500 times as much stuff seized in the US at the southern border as at the northern one. Nobody in any country believes that the proposed/pending tariffs on imports from Canada have anything whatsoever to do with drug flows. It does make the situation sound scary, which props up the notion that it's an emergency, which in turn props up the justification for doing it by decree.
