- A brief oral history of how the Canada-US border came to run right through a town and down the middle of one street - and what it's like to live there today.

My grandfather lives here. He used to tell me that, before 9/11, he could just wave hello at the border customs and drive across to buy cheaper gas. How times haved changed...
"So, what are you in for?" "I smuggled a pizza across the border"
Imagine if the border line goes through your house, and you have to report to custom to go to sleep
This just makes me glad that the Schengen Agreement exists. I can go shopping in Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, France and the Netherlands, everything under an hour away and don't have to worry about border nonsense. Probably the thing I like most about the EU tbh.
Imagine a kid playing with a ball & it accidentally rolls to the other side of the street. He has to go through customs just to get it back 😂
They should just give everyone in the town both citizenship to both country’s cuz this is bs
“We’re going to put up some flower pots and make Canada pay for it”
I think the saddest thing was using 911 as a reason to clamp down on border crossings in towns like that. After all Canada was not involved in the attack and they took in all the flights that were airborne and not allowed to land in the US. They took the passengers into their homes and cared for them like neighbours until they could arrange to go home. This is how it ends?
So you can connect to your neighbor’s wifi and get American netflix...😂
I wonder if the people on the Canadian side feel sorry for their neighbours on the other side of the road not having free healthcare.
Take your kids to school and get charged with human trafficking.
wife: honey i'm going to buy groceries
I’d risk that for pizza too
I don't know why I find this so fascinating and enjoyable to watch. I've watched this about 6 times.
Wifey: Hon, where are you going?
How can government bureaucracy be so stupid to not solve such a minuscule issue?
Oh No! We've just had a traffic accident!
People live next to each other, governments don't.
Imagine half of your house being in another country. The guys who drew it out must've been stoned and drunk off their asses😂
When bureaucracy gets in the way of common sense. I would kick out all federal officials out of town . By force if necessary.
