Back to EpisodesAlberta's Border Security Initiative: Progress & Funding
Description
Albertas border security initiative faces budget cuts, with capital spending reduced by two-thirds in the first year. Despite this, the Interdiction Patrol Team has made significant strides, including seizing illegal drugs and guns, and disrupting organized crime operations. Criminology professor Kelly Sundberg, a former border security worker, praises Albertas progress. Sundberg suggests the federal government fund provinces to enforce immigration and customs rules nationwide, a proposal gaining traction following Prime Minister Mark Carneys pledge for new border agents and RCMP members.
