“At the border” is a bit of an understatement. The town has no land access to the US. There is no ferry service to the US. There was a temporary one during COVID when the border was closed. Their lifeline is Canada. They won’t be buying more American goods. The shops will dry up because they will simply be driving a few miles to buy from Canadian stores. The few business owners that actually provide goods will have to shut down.
K.
So.
What about that library entrance?
I want to have sympathy. Even more in the case of Point Roberts. But I grew up in a society saturated with Americans ideas on freedom and rights and governance and diplomacy and… and… what is right and…
And yeah.
Lol it’d be funny if Canada took Point Roberts, thus starting Canada’s assimilation of the US as our next territory/province
Maybe they should have a vote on declaring themselves Canadian.
Trump seems to believe that should be respected regarding Ukraine in Russian occupied territories despite the vote was manipulated.
So by that standard there should be no problem for this town to vote themselves Canadian.Campobello Island in Maine is the exact opposite. It’s on the Canadian side of the border but their only land route is a bridge to Maine.
I somehow doubt they’ll be voting to join the US any time soon though.
Cool. Maybe whole town will vote dem from now on.
“About 75% of the Point Roberts precinct voted for a presidential candidate other than Trump”
🤷 maybe the rest will now…
