Canada hasn’t committed to ‘10,000 troops’. The Prime Minister has promised ‘10,000 personnel’, which undoubtedly includes some military but mostly border security officers, RCMP, provincial police and other civilian law enforcement officers.

Hopefully there will be a more robust policing of the border by a better funded, better equipped and better manned security force. Just not a military one.

Yeah, some pretty shoddy reporting there. Never mind that deploying the military along the border would achieve nothing given that a) law enforcement isn't a job for combat troops, and b) the amount of fentanyl and illegals crossing from Canada is miniscule.

Illegals yes, fentanyl no.

Didn't we catch a total of 19kg of Fentanyl on the northern border in all of 2024? Isn't that like per hour from Mexico?

You are correct. I stand corrected.

Far more illegal guns come north than anything going south.
