Poilievre urges Canada to enhance border security and cap asylum seekers as U.S. tariff threat rises

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is urging the Canadian government to present a border security plan to Parliament. He wants measures to increase patrols, improve technology, and tighten visa rules amid a potential U.S. tariff threat. Poilievre also suggests capping the number of asylum seekers due to a rise in refugee claims. U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on Canadian imports unless Canada addresses illegal border crossings and drug trafficking. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently met with Trump, discussing various topics including trade and border security. The meeting was described as productive by Trump.
