The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says people seeking asylum at the border with Canada will have less time to consult a lawyer before making their case, as President Joe Biden's asylum halt makes its way to Canada’s doorstep.

Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden tied up a pair of bilateral loose ends on Tuesday, January 10, 2023: one for Canadians who frequently cross the Canada-U.S. border, the other for a certain U.S. president who has yet to do so. 

Amid rapidly shifting geopolitical sands, Canada and the United States unveiled plans on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, to work more closely in the nebulous world of cybersecurity, including on a long-awaited deal to make it easier to navigate each other's data privacy laws in criminal investigations.

Pressure has mounted on both sides of the border, and across the political aisle in Canada, for protesters blockading key crossings with the U.S. and others encamped by Parliament Hill to go home, or for officials to move them out of the way.

Ottawa has also been actively lobbying the White House on the mixed dose issue.

Fully vaccinated Canadian vacationers and day-trippers will be allowed to drive into the United States beginning in early November, the Biden administration said on Tuesday, Oct. 12.
