    This is what happens when politicians instead of civil servants make public health decisions.

      @@ukiahspirit I don’t think the government of your country is really hearing out the civil servants. I think with the comment above is referring to is the fact that the government is not hearing those people out the people you’re thinking you believe it’s everybody coming to an agreement but that’s not true. The politicians the only people they’re hearing are those above them, such as people who are in positions of being ahead of Health. Such as in America, we had this moron I called Dr. Fauci. This day I still blame that man he knew about this pandemic that was coming ahead he knew straight up. He never told anyone. He literally gave us a lot of BS crap telling us that you gotta wear mask. Oh you can’t be 5 feet in front. Oh wait, the mask don’t work you gotta get vaccinated people get vaccinated I know at least so many people in my family who’ve gotten vaccinated three times including myself people still got it. So far me and my brother are the only ones that didn’t even get the virus. Everyone I’ve met who’s gotten Covid has managed to recover so much faster. That whole guideline thing for two weeks that was completely outrageously stupid. Man I can’t imagine how much suffering people in that town of point Robert suffered. I’ve never even heard of that place. I lived in Washington for 15 years from when I was only eight years old moved out when I was 23. And never in my life have I ever heard of that town I’ve been across the border to Canada never even heard of that town. I live in Edmonds my family and I went up to Canada Birch Bay. We literally never even heard of this town. I’ve heard of other town similar to that isolation. Like Northwest angle that’s another one and then there is a Canadian island that somehow I don’t know why it is completely isolated from both America and Canada. Oddly enough, it’s very close to soil. There are two options. You can take a ferry on a very badly ramp all the way with your vehicle to the ferry that looks like a piece of junk. Or you can just go I think 70 minutes going through across the border to the bridge to Maine and you continue driving till you get to the Canadian border to do your errands. Some people in that town say they wish they were part of America because they’re much closer to Maine than they are with Canada. Not sure who made the map, but yeah somebody might’ve been a little too drunk or didn’t even know where the hell the land was

    I lived and worked in Vancouver for years. Is always a hassle crossing the border. The border guards always on their power trip.

      Yes. They were jerks. They hated that I had my trip pre-planned with writing of places I wanted to visit. They wouldn't let me in. I was shocked.

      Probably not many reasons to, and too many reasons not to. The USA would most-likely try to upsell them on it because we do NOT like to lose territory, and history can show that. It would just sour border relations between Canada and the United States and the world really does not need that right now, imagine the damage that poor US-Can. Relation’s would do to the Average American and Canadian morale and psyche? Your nations most strategic ally doesn’t like you anymore. What next?
      Not saying that would happen if Toronto tried to buy Point Roberts, but a simple conflict of interests can snowball.

    Americans never shut the border down for Canadians, but our closest friend didn't feel the same about us unfortunately.

    This is terrible for Canadian property owners there. They haven't been able to go check on their homes and properties for 1 year.
