Life along the fence: How Alberta-Montana border residents feel about new security measures
Southern Alberta residents living along the Canada-U.S. border have seen increased activity along the boundary since new security measures from both Canada and Alberta were implemented. The suite of measures were introduced after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to slap tariffs on Canadian goods until the cross-border flow of fentanyl into the U.S. "stops, or is seriously limited" — a threat that has since launched a trade war between the U.S. and its neighbouring countries. Residents on both sides of the Alberta-Montana border spoke to CBC about how their lives have been impacted since this change.
