Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has issued an urgent call for the federal government to strengthen border security amid threats of potential tariffs from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. Speaking at an Ottawa news conference on Sunday, Poilievre demanded a comprehensive border plan, including increased patrols and stricter visa regulations, while proposing a cap on asylum seekers. The Conservative leader’s demands come as Canada grapples with nearly 250,000 pending refugee claims and following Trump’s recent threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports unless border security measures are enhanced.
