Checking in on our border plan, as U.S. tariffs come into effect

The Big Story

It’s been months since the federal government announced a $1.3 billion border security package in response to the Trump tariff threat.

Host David Smith speaks with Christian Leuprecht, an expert on security and international crime and distinguished professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, about Canada’s border and what will happen next.
