(Reuters) -The Western Canadian province of Alberta will spend C$29 million ($20.46 million) to create a new sheriff-led patrol unit to police its 298-kilometer (185-mile) border with the U.S. state of Montana, the premier said on Thursday.
Alberta's plan follows a pledge from President-elect Donald Trump to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico unless those countries crack down on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
