Canada's Strong Borders Act, introduced on June 3 by Minister Gary Anandasangaree, signifies a major overhaul of immigration policy emphasizing enhanced border security. It expands the Canadian Coast Guard's authority for patrols and allows greater police powers for search and seizure. This legislation responds to concerns about cross-border drug trafficking and irregular migration, particularly related to fentanyl, as raised by former President Trump. The bill outlines measures to combat organized crime and facilitate cooperation between agencies in tackling drug-related issues, and aims to protect the safety of Canadians while addressing illicit activities.
"The bill strengthens our laws to ensure law enforcement has the right tools needed to keep our borders secure, combat transnational organized crime, and stop the flow of illegal fentanyl."
"Trump argued that Canada has played a central role in the challenges against illicit drugs entering the country, alleging a growing presence of Mexican cartels operating fentanyl and nitazene synthesis labs in Canada."
