When engaging with this sort of content, it's important to remember that there are multiple aspects that need to be understood. Firstly, there is 'the actual', and then there is 'the narrative'.
Given the mainstream AND alt-media's penchant to drive their work via an economic model (aka, functioning as businesses), one always has to keep ion mind that narratives will usually be shaped for multiple reasons, including driving news consumption, or propaganda objectives, etc.
In such a case as this, its very difficult to know what actually happened, to know the actual. Why? Because all we have are reports via media, and by now we should know that almost ALL media is controlled in some shape or form.
It's even impossible to actually know if Trudeau was delayed or not, unless you can find corroboration from a trusted person you know directly who can confirm.
But even if Trudeau was delayed, it's almost impossible to know for certainty why. What is said via the media is narrative. it may or may not be closely married to the actual, but that's something we cannot reasonably confirm.
What we CAN dissect and review is what the various NARRATIVES are and what impact they may have.
I'm a bit doubtful of the story in this case, as put forward from ("The Frustrated Indian"), which was founded as a facebook page and grew from there. That's not a slur, to doubt the veracity. The content on the site looks interesting and to have some potential, but there is also a feel of them targeting the alt-audience.
As such, I think it natural for them to offer 'alternative' perspectives from the MSM - e.g. the idea that Trudeau's delay was somehow drug related - but that doesn't mean it has any more veracity that MSM.
Apart from the paradoxical notion of how or why a diplomatic craft carrying the Canadian PM would be subject to drug dog searches, etc, when it would have the highest level of diplomatic immunity possible, their sauce for their own angle on this - the drug one - provides zero sourcing and refers only to "rumors".
When dealing with any information coming in from MSM alt-media, one STILL has to be careful about how much one or the other plays to one's biases. Some of us left the Mainstream Corporate Propaganda Media but then listen and react and swallow what alt-media says because THEY now play directly to our biases.
The point here is, maybe some of what TFI is reporting is actual, maybe its not. The narrative that Trudeau's departure was 'drug related' certainly seems well-fit to the prejudices of those of us who despise Trudeau (I mean, who doesn't?).
To wade through the swamp of information from ALL sorts of sources that may have a vested interest in playing to our biases or gaining traction for economic or propaganda reasons, we need to apply discernment, and remember that NARRATIVE and ACTUAL are often two very different things, and that pinning down the actual is almost always impossible (in 98% of cases, we always have to rely on what OTHER people and organizations report).
The empowering approach then, is to engage and observe what narrative effects the reports are generating, and who they might serve, why, and who they might appeal to, etc.
In this way, we can grow our discernment and truly leave the matrix programming that people from ALL sectors may have a reason to engage with and utilize.
If the facts are clear, that Trudeau could not depart due to a technical issue, that the replacement craft was diverted from original schedule, etc, these indeed imply that something was going on. The Drug angle seems to be based purely on rumors, and perhaps really just a smokescreen.

I'm rather doubtful of the veracity of this particular source ("The Frustrated Indian") which was founded as a facebook page and grew from there. That's not a slur, to doubt the veracity. But even a brief review of the organization, its origins and the flavor of the stories suggests that its a sort of modern popular semi-tabloidish news outlet, appealing to those who are sick of or who have been turned off traditional MSM media.
