Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Immigration Minister, Mark Miller, has admitted that there will be tough discussions with the US regarding the issue of borders. Miller made this comment in response to remarks by Tom Homan, who was appointed by President Donald Trump as the US border minister.

Homan has stated that the Canada-US border is highly sensitive in terms of national security and that it will require tough conversations with Canada. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people entering the US illegally from Canada.

Homan has labeled this as a threat to America's national security and pledged to address it upon assuming office. In response to questions from journalists, Miller emphasized that Canada is taking action against individuals attempting to cross the border illegally.

It is important to note that Homan, who was appointed by Trump to oversee both the northern and southern borders, is the former Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Rain and Snow Alerts in Effect as Coastal and Northern B.C. Brace for Strong Weather System

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a pair of weather alerts for communities along British Columbia’s north and central coast, warning that a strong frontal system could bring significant rain and heavy mountain snow through the end of the week. The agency says areas from Bella Coola through Kitimat may receive as much as 70 millimetres of rain, raising the risk of water pooling on roads and possible washouts near rivers and creeks. The system is expected to weaken by Friday, but officials caution that changing conditions may still affect travel across coastal corridors. While t

Senate approves citizenship reform for ‘Lost Canadians’ as advocates raise adoption concerns

Federal legislation designed to address long-standing gaps in Canada’s citizenship rules has cleared the Senate and is expected to become law before a court-imposed deadline early next year. The bill aims to resolve cases involving so-called Lost Canadians – individuals born abroad to Canadian parents who were themselves born outside the country and who lost access to citizenship because of restrictive rules adopted in 2009. The changes come after the Ontario Superior Court ruled last year that the previous one-generation limit on citizenship by descent was unconstitutional. Under the upda

Alberta auditor says failed lab privatization left public with $109 million bill

Alberta’s auditor general says the province’s attempt to shift community lab testing to a private operator resulted in significant financial losses and gaps in government oversight. A new report from Auditor General Doug Wylie estimates taxpayers absorbed roughly $109 million after the privatization effort collapsed. Wylie’s review found that senior officials in government advanced the plan despite internal warnings that the projected savings were unlikely. He says weaknesses in record keeping, financial analysis and contract oversight contributed to the breakdown of the agreement with D
