He also says Canada’s promised contribution of $200 million to fight organized crime and fentanyl trafficking is in addition to the $1.3 billion Ottawa already has announced
In a bid to head off crippling tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump, Canada has committed to tasking 10,000 front-line personnel with protecting the border.
Speaking with The Canadian Press today, McGuinty says that number could encompass a broad range of officials, including border officers on the front lines and intelligence officers behind the scenes. McGuinty also says Canada’s promised contribution of $200 million to fight organized crime and fentanyl trafficking is in addition to the $1.3 billion Ottawa already has announced.
The money will help fund the appointment of a “fentanyl czar,” who will serve as a liaison between Canada and the U.S. on cross-border efforts to curb fentanyl traffic. McGuinty says the language on the new position was chosen carefully, although he denies it had anything to do with satisfying Trump.Nearly one-third of fentanyl cited in U.S. tally not connected to CanadaNearly one-third of fentanyl cited in U.S. tally not connected to Canada

Report warns of $200-million funding drop for Canadian TV and filmA new report projects a significant decline in financing for Canadian scripted shows, children’s programs, and documentaries from private broadcasters over the next five years. The report by Nordicity, commissioned by the Directors Guild of Canada, warns that this could lead to a billion-dollar reduction in production budgets. The report analyzes how broadcasters allocate funds to “programs of national interest” under current CRTC policies, which require them to dedicate a percentage of their annual revenue to such programming. However, with projected revenue declines, expenditures on Canadian content could fall to $167-million by 2028, a 23% drop from 2023 levels. The report urges the CRTC to maintain or increase funding for Canadian content and warns of the potential consequences for the industry if it does not.
