The Carney government has introduced sweeping legislation to crack down on security at the U.S.-Canada border. The government says Bill C-2, also known as the Strong Borders Act, is aimed at protecting sovereignty, strengthening the border and keeping Canadians safe. It cracks down on those seeking asylum while also giving enhanced powers and resources to those who inspect the mail, patrol waterways and land crossings. It comes as the Canadian government tries to placate the Trump Whitehouse which insists fentanyl continues to cross into the U.S. from areas like Vancouver.
