Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dominated headlines this week with a sweeping set of announcements aimed at combating crime and securing the border, while navigating increasingly tense trade relations with the United States. On October 16th, Carney unveiled legislation to make bail significantly harder to obtain for violent repeat offenders, with tougher sentencing provisions targeting home invasions, extortion, violent auto theft, human trafficking, and smuggling. CBC News reported that Carney met with Ontario Premier Doug Ford in the Greater Toronto Area where he announced these new measures, which families of crime victims have called long overdue. One family member stated that if the system had worked properly, their loved one would still be alive today.
The following day at a Diwali celebration in Brampton, Carney doubled down on his public safety message, announcing the government would list the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist organization and take active measures against extortion and home invasions. He emphasized three core lessons Canada has learned this year: focus on what you can control, support the vulnerable and workers, and protect communities and borders. During his remarks, Carney quipped about not being able to control Donald Trump, joking that Trump upgraded him to president in a recent meeting.
On Friday, Global News covered Carney's visit to a border crossing in Ontario's Niagara region, where he announced six hundred seventeen point seven million dollars over five years to hire a thousand new Canada Border Services Agency officers. Combined with a thousand new RCMP officers also announced this week, the initiatives target illegal trade in stolen goods, guns, and drugs, while enforcing stricter import measures.
Meanwhile, Abacus Data polling from October 9th through 15th showed Carney's handling of the high-stakes Washington meeting with Trump resonated with voters, with seventy four percent of Canadians aware of the visit. However, tensions have emerged in the so-called Team Canada approach to trade, with reports of cracks in the united front as provinces pursue individual deals with the United States.
