A Road that You Can't Cross (Peace Arch & Point Roberts)

[@Merzui-kg8ds]

My sister married a Canadian and lives right over the border in Canada. We missed her during Covid. The American siblings met her and her family at 0 Ave, and did a cross border hug and picnic. If you looked up and down 0 Ave, we were FAR from the only folk doing this. It was really heartwarming to see what people will do to stay connected.

The U.S. also has posted signs along the US-Canadian border. In Point Roberts there is a concrete barrier in Monument Park that has a sign posted saying that it is unlawful to cross into the United States there.

[@theotherwalt]

Before the mid 2000s, you could cross into Canada and back with no problem. You showed your ID, they asked you some questions, and you went on your way. I lived near the USA/Canadian border, we visited Canada all the time. I don't know what happened (9/11?) or why it happened. I miss the simplicity of crossing.

[@necksquad3222]

Same thing with Mexico. I think it was 9/11 that changed all that. You can still go to Canada without a passport if your state offers Enhanced IDs (e.g. Washington, Michigan, etc)

I'm probably in the vast minority when I say this but really Americans and Canadians should be able to cross the border freely without having to check in with the border guards and show passports.

It's a bit misleading, but the border is about a meter away from the south edge of the road. The border is not in the center of the road

I remember running back and forth through the peace arch as a kid while my dad and grandparents were in the car waiting for the line to move. Did this a number of times going both ways. Sometimes we were going to Point Roberts, where my family has a lot of history, and twice we went to Vancouver Island to a fishing resort.

I drive a garbage truck in the Langley, Surrey area and my route includes Zero Avenue and have seen many interactions between the citizens of Canada and the United States. This might not be obvious to some people, but do you see the two women at 7:38 in the background? The far woman is American and the closer one is Canadian. They are visiting each other with one being on the American side of the border and the other on the Canadian side. It is illegal to cross this invisible line so they converse with each other straddling the border only a few feet apart.

There is also a town strattling the border in the east. One side of the street has Canadian homes and the other side has U.S. homes. The town library is only accessible from the Canadian side as it also straddles the border. Americans stay on the sidewalk to get inside the library.

It used to be easier to cross before 9/11.

I've been to almost every state on the east coast more than once and before 9/11 all you needed was a birth certificate or even a drivers license as proof you were Canadian but not once was I ever asked to show it. Before 9/11 they would just ask your citizenship, why you were entering the US, and how long you will be staying but after 9/11 that idiot Bush lied and said the terrorists entered through Canada which was easily proven not to be the case and thanks to him we now need a passport to cross the border and they're a lot stricter about it.

This video is great… and made me laugh. Subbed.

[@beyounged]

thanks for watching~! :D

[@metrobytmobile6844]

Why didn't someone take the lady by boat from Pt. Roberts to the mainland US? I would have told the Border Patrol to get stuffed or get out of my way.

Peace Arch park during Covid was known as "Conjugal visit in tents" park.

[@nickcanada1534]

So what happens if there is a car accident??

[@beyounged]

probably it is gonna be Canada's response, because the entire surface is in Canada, as the ditch is the border.

[@Givemeafinname]

Canadian Border officers are an embarrassment to Canada.

[@yixnorb5971]

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because she has dual nationality.

[@sc81kdeterb]

Really liked this, I'd like to see more

[@beyounged]

More coming from this trip I am doing! Stay tuned! 😉

[@Insomniac_tv]

Imagine yelling at your kids in the US to come home for dinner in Canada

[@Afterburner]

How typically government of them to do this.

[@shawnarice7374]

This is so awesome to know and see

[@Neriadea]

what I'm getting from this is britain should not draw lines

[@beyounged]

but this is THE thing they love to do! They have done this on literally every single continent haha!

[@BeeGeesFan999]

I live close to the Dutch/German border between Kerkrade NL. and Herzogenrath GER. we've got such a road aswell Nieuwstraat/Neustrasse (Newstreet) the centerline is the border only here you can cross the border free since the 90"s

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

Same in the United States we drive drive from Washington country then boom we end up in neighboring country called Oregon country little more driving then boom we are in Idaho country😂😂then little more drive we are in Montana country

[@vickiechandler3112]

So we all want to know what the border patrol said about the donut comment...LOL

[@beyounged]

he laughed it off, and asked me for my channel! but it was very stressful when he was there as a small crowd had gathered ahaha!

[@cheukhoma]

Human created borders out of selfishness. We are our own worst enemy.

[@humor1095]

Do the Derby Line, Vermont, from Stanstead, Quebec.

[@DavGreg]

Yes, there is a Library there on the border, correct?

[@nelrod03]

@@DavGreg Just visited that library about 10 days back & instead of the flower pots border, there's a yellow police tape warning Cdn's citizents/residents not to cross it. The giant stones are placed on the grass area right of the zebra crossing. Plus, the side road sloping down towards Vermont border, on the left closed with a road barrier

[@elwoodblues9613]

@@DavGreg - the Haskell Free Library & Opera House, deliberately built on that border!

[@princessmarlena1359]

I saw the crossing point of Rouse’s Point, New York when I went on a road trip through New England in 2019. Didn’t go in, I didn’t have my passport.

[@roachtoasties]

I sure a chicken can cross the road (and continue into the park) with no problems. "Why did the chicken cross the road? To visit the U.S."

[@michaelmchugh1982]

So you can't cross the road, but a car can pull up and everyone in it can get out and walk across the ditch and go into the park which is in the USA?

[@TheRealMartin]

You can cross the road into te Park. Canadians and Americans are both free to enter the park from their respective sides.

[@triplebbb1484]

Cross that border and you’ll receive free food and lodging at our best hotels. May also receive free phone and up to $400.00.

[@eco8842]

I would give Canadian citizenship to everybody in usa side. Canada and USA treats each other like enemies in border crossings!

[@markrobbins5189]

He got one thing wrong: The US and British were fully aware of the existence of Point Roberts on the Tsawwassen Peninsula, which would be transected by the agreed 49th Parallel border. They could have made some accommodation to avoid creating a pene-exclave but did not. The US saw strategic value in keeping Point Roberts.

[@DavGreg]

Yes. The British wanted to keep Vancouver Island at all costs and the US held fast to this spot of land because of strategic value. It was not a mistake.

[@e-curb]

You're wrong. Neither Canada nor the US knew about the peninsula when they drew up the map. During negotiations, it was agreed to put the border on the 49th parallel, but Canada didn't want to give up the southern part of Vancouver Island, so the provincial capital was quickly moved from New Westminster to Victoria to add strength to the claim of the whole island. It was then agreed that the border would extend along the 49th to the middle of the Georgia Strait, then loop around the island. Fun fact: 49° 0' 0" latitude is actually about 200m south of the existing border in Pt Roberts.

[@BCBennyCAN2]

In the early 90s we use to go drink beer at the beach there and when we walked back half lit with beer still no one asked us anything much and no ID was needed.

[@sriramcan]

I thought there was free movement between Canada and Usa for citizens. is that not the case?

[@beyounged]

there is no free movement. for general visits, ID is required, mostly passport. for school/work, full visa required.

[@spencercox2684]

can you get to the mainland by boat???

[@sebastiennudo7792]

Dominion of Canada?? What century you living in?

[@beyounged]

a century when you can get criticized for random, harmless jokes and statements.

[@ericbishop3468]

What do their chickens do?

[@thislstheonlyheavenwemakei4489]

"They have only Had one" COVID cases. Was that one case you, while you were shooting there?

[@Gerben42]

In Europe we also have some enclaves, I simply cannot understand how border patrol did not let the woman pass. Perhaps she could have paid a fee to be patrolled to the other US border and not leave the car in Canada? Such cases need practical solutions!
