The government confirmed it will not proceed with arming agents at the Akwesasne Port of Entry. We secured this win because we stayed focused on community safety and refused to back down. Keep a close watch on local developments as we ensure these words lead to permanent action.

NO GUNS FOR CANADA CUSTOMS AGENTS! The arming of Canada Customs Agents in a residential area on Akwesasne Mohawk Territory will escalate an already tense situation. It will also place the safety of surrounding residents and all border travelers in jeopardy. The majority of travelers passing through the Akwesasne Port of Entry are Akwesasne residents. Combined with documented acts of racial profiling and provocation by Customs Agents, our community is opposed to arming Canada Customs Agents at the Akwesasne Port of Entry. Join the Mohawk community of Akwesasne in calling for an urgent meeting between the Minister of Public Safety Peter Van Loan and Akwesasne Mohawk Leadership. Your support is needed to keep our community safe! · Guns will not increase safety! · Guns are not the solution! · Guns can cost lives!

This is a residential area and families live right there. Why does the gov think its a good idea to put live rounds in a place like this? Bad move.
