Canada boosts border security funding in response to proposed US tariffs

Canada will increase funding for border security in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Canadian goods. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial leaders met to discuss measures to enhance the Canada Border Services Agency and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Trudeau's government aims to address concerns over drug smuggling and illegal migration. Ontario Premier Doug Ford criticized the federal government's slow response and called for a more proactive approach to border security. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced plans for her province to enhance border patrols with Montana. Ontario will also launch a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign in the U.S. to emphasize strong economic ties and collaboration.
