'He's in our hearts': Family and friends still seek answers one year after Nathan Wise’s disappearance
It’s been a year since Nathan Wise went missing and his family is no closer to finding out what happened to him.
Canada is doing all it can stop people smuggling across the U.S. border after a family of four froze to death in a 'mind-blowing' tragedy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday.
U.S. authorities have charged a U.S. man with human smuggling after the four -- a man, woman, baby and teenager -- were found dead in the province of Manitoba, a few metres north of the frontier with Minnesota.
The four have tentatively been identified as a family from India, part of a larger group trying to enter the United States by walking across snow-covered fields in a remote region.
"It was an absolutely mind-blowing story. It's so tragic to see a family die like that, victims of human traffickers ... and of people who took advantage of their desire to build a better life," Trudeau told a news conference.
"This is why we are doing all we can to discourage people from crossing the border in an irregular or illicit manner. We know there are great risks in doing so," he continued.
Canada, Trudeau said, was working very closely with the United States to stop smuggling and help people "taking unacceptable risks."
Local officials said the incident was unusual since in the past, people have tried to cross into Canada from the United States, rather than the other way round.
