Donald Trump's second administration is filling up with some of his most loyal supporters and many of the people landing top jobs have been critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and security at Canada's border.

One expert says there are not many Canadian allies, so far, in the president-elect's court.

"I don't see a whole lot of friends of Canada in there," said Fen Hampson, a professor of international affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa and co-chair of the Expert Group on Canada-U.S. Relations.

The province is spending nearly $650,000 to improve the safety of Winnipeggers.

The funds will come from the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund and be used in various initiatives that enhance officer safety and keep Winnipeggers safe. 

“As Winnipeggers, we all deserve to feel safe in our community,” said Justice Minister Matt Wiebe. “The Winnipeg Police Service plays a vital role in protecting our community and the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund has been an invaluable tool to support local efforts to fight crime.”

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon intervened Tuesday to end work stoppages at ports in both British Columbia and Montreal, directing the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order the resumption of all operations and move the talks to binding arbitration.

Over the summer, the Winnipeg Police Service's Guns and Gangs began looking into the trafficking of illicit drugs within the city and recently made multiple arrests. 

Three suspects were identified through their investigation, with two linked to residences in St. Boniface and one in Sage Creek.

Last week, with help from the Tactical Support Team, a search warrant was executed at a home in the 500 block of Ritchot Street. Officers located and seized approximately 10 grams of Methamphetamine and approximately 3.5 grams of Cocaine. They also arrested a 38-year-old female. 

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has given 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post.

The notice is for both the union's urban and rural bargaining units.

In a release early Tuesday morning, the union says workers will be in a legal strike position as of Friday if negotiated settlements have not been reached.

However, the union says its national executive board has yet to decide if a job action will happen at the deadline, saying that will depend on Canada Post's actions at the bargaining table in the coming days.

Canadians gathered Monday in cities and towns across the country to honour the sacrifice of men and women in uniform who gave their lives in service of the country's values and principles.
