Subhead:Global Affairs Canada estimates that nearly 5,000 Canadians are currently stuck in Puerto Vallarta as cartel gunmen clash with the military.# Thousands of Canadians are currently stranded in Mexico after chaos erupted following the killing of cartel boss Nemesio "El Mencho" Cervantes by Mexican authorities on Sunday. El Mencho — the leader of the notorious Jalisco New Generation Cartel — was fatally wounded in a firefight with military commandos and succumbed to his gunshot wounds while being transported by air to Mexico City. His death triggered immediate, widespread chaos across at least 20 Mexican states, including highway blockades with burning vehicles and attacks on businesses by members of the 'New Generation Cartel.'
