Edmonton council discussed the request in a private meeting Wednesday , a source told Postmedia .

Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis wants to work with police to coordinate efforts to crack down on fentanyl and social disorder.

Mayor Amarjeet Sohi said the minister is looking for municipalities to support the province’s efforts.

EPS says it is working to protect the Canadian economy from the U.S. trade war.

Canada has identified ways to deal with the threat of tariffs, including taking action on fentanyl and border security.

The allocation of resources locally and alignment of resources is part of that necessary response, EPS says.
