Seems it was a waste of our time and money. If anything, Canada should be asking the USA to increase their own border security as guns and drugs come into Canada at a much larger scale. And why even have a fentanyl czar etc if none of our actions will stop the tariffs? This was never about the border or drugs but Trump said jump and Canada asked How high?

Asking the US to do anything for us doesn’t sound like a good plan, they’re no longer reliable.

Hopefully the extra enforcement around ‘fentanyl crossing south’ in practice is used to prevent unwanted incursions in both directions, namely guns north.

This, sadly. I do not think a single thing Canada will do will have Trump change his tune. He has been told Canada has been screwing the US for whatever reason, and now he wants revenge like all the other actions he has taken this term so far. Still, I think we need to at least try, that way the more sane Americans (and the rest of the world) will hopefully realize that attempts were made by Canada, programs were put into place at the US's request, and all ignored by Trump.

If things keep going as they are we might want that border security to keep people out of Canada.

I doubt we will and I suspect it was a symbolic gesture from us to begin with.

Does anyone know if any money was actually spent?
