ABSTRACT In this article, we focus on some key developments in Canada-US border relations. First, we discuss specific issues about personal information sharing and the searching of personal handheld devices at the Canada-US border, which relate to the Beyond the Border Agreement (2011). Furthermore, we consider the US-Canada Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) (2004), which although earlier, is bound up in the Beyond the Border Action Plan of 2011, and gets caught up in President Donald Trump’s governance through executive order. In each instance, the issues speak to the general functional creep or spill-over that has occurred in the Canada-US border relationship, or what we may refer to as “collateral damage” in the bilateral relationship. We discuss the STCA, examining its evolution and the problematization of this relationship under the Trump administration as it relates to US policies along the southern border and relations with Mexico as well as states in Central and South America. These are manifest in Trump’s executive orders, most notably his so-called Muslim travel ban, and other orders that undermine the US commitment to the United Nations’ 1951 Refugee Convention and as such, question the extent to which Canada can continue to refer asylum seekers at the Canada-US border back to the US as a “safe” country. In the case of the Beyond the Border governed relationship, we focus on the question of information sharing and privacy and reflect on where we currently stand in this complex relationship. In this sense, it serves as a barometer of the relative chauvinism of Trump’s border strategies and to what extent, in the name of alleged security, Canada will continue to cooperate with more restrictive and securitized US strategies.

附带损害:加美边界和特朗普总统的行政命令

摘要 在本文中,我们重点关注加美边境关系的一些关键发展。首先,我们讨论有关个人信息共享和在加美边境搜索个人手持设备的具体问题,这些问题与《超越边界协议》(2011 年)有关。此外,我们考虑了美国-加拿大安全第三国协议 (STCA)(2004 年),该协议虽然较早,但与 2011 年的“超越边界行动计划”相关,并通过行政命令被纳入唐纳德特朗普总统的治理之中。在每种情况下,这些问题都涉及加美边境关系中发生的一般功能性蔓延或溢出,或者我们可以称之为双边关系中的“附带损害”。我们讨论 STCA,研究特朗普政府期间这种关系的演变和问题化,因为它涉及美国南部边境的政策以及与墨西哥以及中美洲和南美洲各州的关系。这些都体现在特朗普的行政命令中,最著名的是他所谓的穆斯林旅行禁令,以及其他破坏美国对联合国 1951 年难民公约承诺的命令,因此质疑加拿大​​可以在多大程度上继续推荐寻求庇护者在加美边境回到美国作为“安全”国家。在超越边界管理关系的情况下,我们专注于信息共享和隐私问题,并反思我们目前在这种复杂关系中的立场。在这个意义上说,
