  • What actions, specifically, did we take that you would consider “caving”? Fentanyl trafficked across the Canadian border accounts for 0.2% of US border seizures of fentanyl and, like others have said, we already have a minister who is responsible for monitoring illicit drugs at the border so we would simply be renaming the position.

    Additionally, Canadian politicians have been calling for more of a presence at the border for years, so even this would not really be much of a cave considering there’s both a federal election and an Ontario election imminent. If we do decide to have CBSA under military command, it would actually help us meet the NATO requirement to spend 2.5% GDP on our military.

    No matter what we end up doing, none of it actually involves much work from us that we wouldn’t otherwise be doing anyway due to other commitments. So what are we caving on?
