Fuck murica! Canadians are smart not travelling to that shit hole of a country

Good.

I wonder if Point Roberts is counted in the numbers?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

It's not one of the crossings in the dashboard... Point Roberts is very screwed because Canadian tourism and package pickup is like their entire business.

I don't know but I am pretty sure Point Roberts is straight up screwed. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the precise location where conflict with US escalates.

Point Roberts should leave USA and join Canada, that border line is silly

If my history is correct wasn't it an oversight originally?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

It may have been, but US wanted it kept like that since it was the furthest tip into the waterway and was a good lookout point

that border line is silly

Isn't that exactly what Trump says?

Have you seen Point Roberts though. School kids have to take a 40 min bus ride through Canada to get to their school in Washington.

Trum’s trying to start another Pig War isn’t he?

My heart goes to the poor Americans who made the effort to vote against MAGA, but for the rest who either couldn't be bothered, or embrace the NAZI pricks, fuck them.
