Alberta launched its own border patrol last year to help stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across what Premier Danielle Smith called the “leaky” U.S. border. But the Interdiction Patrol Team (IPT) has so far made only a handful of arrests for those offences, according to data released through an access to information request.
From the time the IPT began operations in January until Aug. 8, the unit had made two arrests for illegal border crossing and five arrests for trafficking in a controlled substance, data from the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services (PSES) show.
Of these seven arrests, four occurred within the two-kilometre border zone.
Just performative bull#### that costs money and basically does nothing, the ucp sweet spot.
