Description

On today’s episode, Katarina speaks directly with a man who smuggles people across borders. He explains how the system works — and just how little resistance he faces. From rural roads in Quebec and Vermont to backwoods crossings used year-round, even in dangerous winter conditions, Katarina explores how the U.S.–Canada border is being exploited by smugglers moving people from countries around the world.


She also investigates how illegal firearms enter Canada, often through straw purchases or smuggling routes from the U.S. Used in the majority of gun crimes in major cities, these weapons move through informal street markets and online platforms with little oversight.
