How do you apply biometric surveillance at the border if you need a data base of body features........explain how that stops someone going over unguarded parts of the border please."Problem, Reaction, Solution” with the solution being digital ID and biometric surveillance at the border.
Both Canada & the USA have been trying to implement this for some time.
The last 4+ years of political theater, has been leading to this.

It's like you're giving the mods a road map to a better WC2.Rita is the brightest, most articulate, and well researched here and is the main reason I keep lurking.

China supplies most of the fentanyl to the world and it seems to get into Canada at the Pacific ports in BC and the US.In terms of Canada's responsibility in borders, I am not sure where people don't think that we don't have a responsibility to ensure that the people that are coming into Canada are coming here for appropriate purpose, not to get into the US.
If we want decent relationships with our the US then, yes, we do need to have due diligence.
Trade wars are ugly.
The fear of a trade war is ugly.
Border harassment is not fun.
You want to see citizens get grumpy, watch what happens when Trump tells his border security to start doing tougher checks.
I remember when that happened last time. Not fun.
So, I despise Trump.
But, like living beside someone who is really grumpy, I recommend that our politicians do what they can to appease.
The Trump crowd basically alleges that fentanyl enters Canada through our ports and then is transshipped across the border. My understanding was that the DEA and border security do not regard our border as a major drug problem but I would have to do some Googling to figure out where I saw that. Trump wouldn't care anyhow since he would see them as part of the Democratic Deep State and therefore unreliable.I'm sorry, I am missing the connection.
Can you draw the line between my post, and your comment please?
I'm sure there is one, I am just not seeing it.
Pretty much this....we have very lax inspections at our ocean ports with the many containers on boats and with most fentanyl coming from China we should start with the source.

(Its also the reason so many of our stolen cars went to Africa and the middle east undetected for so long.)
The second one.What do you mean by the source? Do you mean we should go to China...or do you mean we need to do a better job of containers coming from china
This is all to reminiscent of the Republicans blaming immigrants for most of the crimes being committed, when in fact statistically, it's the Americans that commit the most crimes and fill the jail's of their own country.The second one.
And, Let's face it, there are more ways to bypass the land border guards. There's tunnels, air and water....and the unguarded land areas. We have a problem with vetting who gets to unload the ships too.
And according to the CATO INSTITUTE, from 2018 to 2023, US citizens accounted for 2,315 of the 2,905 convicted drug traffickers on the US southern border ( 80%)
Since 2018, most of the fentanyl traffickers are Americans and these homegrown traffickers have surpassed all other traffickers. Cartels like the ease at which Americans can cross the border.
I'm sure it's the same for Canadian traffickers, although our seizures are much much lower than the US/MEXICO border.
