Manitoba's $1.4M border patrol, launched in 2025 over U.S. tariff fears, found no illegal activity and diverted staff from core duties.
Manitoba conservation officers deployed near the U.S. border in early 2025 have reported no significant activity over the past 11 months, according to provincial officials and a freedom of information request.
The initiative, part of a response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims about illegal crossings and drug smuggling, involved reassigning 11 officers to monitor border areas but yielded no arrests, drug seizures, or migrant interdictions.
The $1.4 million effort, which included RCMP overtime and equipment, was seen by analysts as largely symbolic to deter potential U.S. tariffs.
While border apprehensions remain low overall, union leaders say the reassignment strained conservation services by diverting staff from core duties like enforcing hunting laws.
