Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says it's early days on figuring out how the province will patrol its border with Montana but says there are options, and pointed to existing specialized sheriff units as a model.Premier Danielle Smith says the Alberta government is still reviewing different U.S. border protection options, but there is a path the province can take.
Smith is urging the federal government to come up with a better border security plan, but said Thursday she's prepared to pony up provincial resources. Smith said the province is responsible for policing land near the border, and it's incumbent on them to work with their federal counterparts, Canadian border security and Montana officials.When asked how the provincial effort will work, given that international borders fall under federal jurisdiction, Smith said that federal jurisdiction over the border is actually "narrow."The U.S.-Canada border separates Alberta and the state of Montana.
Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis reiterated the United Conservatives' position that Americans are right to be concerned about drugs entering their country from Canada.
