President-elect Donald Trump has appointed a new 'border czar' who promises to be tough on illegal immigration and has challenged Canada to secure the US-Canada border amid high levels of terrorist suspects being caught. Canada's public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, stated that Canada is prepared 'to do the work that's necessary' at the U.S. border and is confident in reassuring the incoming Trump administration that it shares their concerns about border security. LeBlanc also mentioned that Canada will increase enforcement resources if necessary to ease Trump officials’ border worries. LeBlanc made these comments during an interview with Mercedes Stephenson on The West Block.
