Manitoba conservation officers, tasked with border duties, haven’t seen much

Border politics collided with on-the-ground reality in Manitoba this year, and the gap between the two is striking. Nearly a year after conservation officers were reassigned to monitor the U.S. border—part of Canada’s response to tariff threats from President Trump—officials say they haven’t seen a single incident of migrant crossings or drug smuggling. The move was largely symbolic, critics argue, meant to show Washington that Canada was “doing something.” But with officers pulled from regular duties and no results to show, questions about cost, optics, and impact are mounting. Steve Lambert with The Canadian Press has the full story.
