Former border agents from Canada and the U.S. say border security needs to be coordinated and forward-looking.

Canada has invested over $1 billion in new equipment and security measures to combat drug trafficking and irregular migration.

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canada and Mexico .

The tariffs are set to go ahead on Tuesday , Trump said last week after suggesting Canada has not done enough.

He said the changes needed will require legislation to amend laws like the Immigration Refugee Protection Act , the Customs Act , the Criminal Code and the Canada Border Services Agency Act . That last statute should be amended to transform the CBSA into the “Canada Border Security Agency ,” he said, and establish independent oversight — something he argues could have highlighted the challenges Canada now faces years ago . “ Canada has a lot of work to do in ensuring our sovereignty,” Sundberg said. “It’s time to stop doing press releases and actually start protecting our border.”.
