"Broader enforcement measures will commence": Alberta premier responds to arrests at Coutts blockade

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he was "very distressed" to learn about the arrests of 11 people after an investigation at the Coutts, Alta. border crossing led to the seizure of more than dozen long guns, hand guns, ammunition and body armour.

The premier also added that the RCMP will now proceed with enforcement against people involved in the border blockade.

Kenney said the government has procured "all of the necessary heavy equipment" and service to operate that equipment in order to assist RCMP in removing vehicles that are blocking the highway.

"Broader enforcement measures will commence, and of course the government of Alberta will be there to support that every step of the way," Kenney said.
