Provinces step up border security as federal inaction draws criticism in Canada

theglobeandmail.com

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a lack of action on border security, claiming provinces are now taking responsibility. He pointed to increased illegal crossings and asylum claims since Trudeau took office. In response to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, Alberta and Ontario's premiers announced plans to enhance border patrols. Quebec also stated it would increase border enforcement. The federal government has pledged additional funding for border security agencies following an emergency meeting with provincial leaders. However, details on the funding and timeline remain unclear.
