How much fentanyl flows from the US into Canada?

Not sure if CBSA keeps those stats. I couldn't find them.

CBSA says that 84% of the fentanyl that it seized last year was *outbound* to the Netherlands (4.1 kg out of 4.9 kg).

Timely investigation from @theglobeandmail.com, which found that the fentanyl seizure figures cited by the Trump administration as coming from Canada may in fact "have no ties to Canada whatsoever".
