U.S. limits Canadian access to border-straddling library

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/us-border-canada-quebec-stanstead-library-1.7489528

“ direct access from Canada will be closed, starting in October.”

Well, I guess now we know when the invasion is coming.

I think we should remove the walls on our side.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the library.

According to Boudreau, when Noem visited she stood on the American side and said "U.S.A. No. 1" and then, after crossing onto the Canadian side, said "the 51st state." Boudreau said Noem did this multiple times.

Wtf!

Is this one of those libraries that the border runs right down the middle of the building?

Also, how can the US restrict entry to the Canadian side/property...

Canada should just pick up it's half and move it 20 metres over.

From the article

The border line literally runs across the floor of the library, but the main entrance is on the American side in Derby Line, Vt.

Boudreau said the library will need to renovate an entrance on the Canadian side, and she already had plans to meet with a contractor.
