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

Just south of Vancouver, Canada, there is a road that was illegal for you to cross at the time of the filming of this video. And yes, you could still do that, but breaking the law does not bring severe ramifications (it seemed like). I will take you to Peace Arch's 0th avenue and Point Roberts across Boundary Bay to show you how the COVID-19 brought severe issues to the border between United States and Canada.

[@ErstO1]

America "we need to build a wall" Canada "we don't need a wall, we posted a sign"

That’s cuz Canada isn’t trying to cause problems

[@seanthe100]

More Canadians move to the US than vice versa no need for a wall

[@necksquad3222]

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.

I love that people were crossing the road in the background while this guy is explaining how it's illegal. XD

[@dankelly5150]

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. I believe it's silly but I suppose every American fugitive and terrorist would probably end up in Canada and hide in the mountains or whatnot and use it as a base of operations?

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

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)

Only one mistake, the US knew exactly what it was doing when they drew the border. The existence of Point Roberts as American territory impacted the maritime border, navigation and fishing rights to the Salish Sea.

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.

[@canyonoverland5003]

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.

I just took a picture from the other side yesterday before properly entering Canada on foot via the peace arch entry from that very field to the area you were standing at when you made this video. I’m curious how would one legally get from that park to that road? Do you have to loop all the way from the pacific highway crossing is that how? Considering there’s no foot crossing from that crossing it’s a long walk.

[@beyounged]

YAY the border reopened! no more illegal road to cross! Fun fact: at 7:16 the two ladies behind me were also chatting across the border, as that concrete barrier separated them so they could only talk between the invisible barrier.

There was still until Jan 22 2023 some hassle with crossing. And until Fall 2022 you had to have heavy reliance of your CELL PHONE and required internet access and a degree of tech savvy to enter Canada. Now it's better, no more disclosure of health information to foreign countries, No more being cut off from your myocarditis injured friends and family who were banned simply because their body was incompatible with mRNA!

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.

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

[@common_c3nts]

Great video. I thought I knew all the interesting border spots, I was not aware of 0 ave. The US should have open borders with Canada and Mexico. It is so pathetic how they pretend they have security just to inconvenience normal people.

[@elizabethwitt2621]

Canada yes, Mexico no.

[@common_c3nts]

@@elizabethwitt2621 Mexico, yes. Closing off our borders with Canada and Mexico creates more problems than it solves.

[@kova1577]

Can you imagine falling in love with a Canadian girl right outside the border and you have to worry about crossing the road? I assume you’d need a passport card on you at all time’s. Honestly I’m actually going to apply for one since they’re relatively cheap and I plan to take a trip into the north

[@susanbarackman-artist7670]

can you imagine your dog crossing into canada and you cannot cross the street to get it?

[@SchwarbageTruck]

Living in Detroit, across the river from Canada, was murder during covid, dating-wise. All my tinder matches were always canadian girls lol

[@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.

[@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

[@dixondavies]

The US could put on a fast ferry to mainland Washinton State. About a thirty minute trip.

[@Viettec321]

Surprising,😅 great video

[@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!

[@BubuElisa]

If you have dual citizenship , can u cross the border ?

[@davidreichert9392]

I heard somewhere though that there was a ferry that ran from Point Roberts to the mainland US. That said, it would have been reasonable in my opinion to allow Point Roberts to quarantine with Canada during that time. I think that idea was floated but turned down by both governments.

[@jalmermonterroza3159]

There used to be a ferry going from a place called anacortes in WA to Point Roberts; Many businesses in Point Roberts complained during covid because the border was closed and they mainly rellied on Canadian customers. You are right, Point Roberts should have been considered part of Canada for quarantine purposes.

[@Daniel_B_23]

Great video!

[@beyounged]

thanks for watching!

[@Daniel_B_23]

@@beyounged welcome.

[@Calisal01]

There is no wall??

[@martinschulz9381]

I've lived in whatcom county and I have yet to go to Point Roberts. I'll have to go there sometime. There are many places along the border throughout our area here that are the same way. During Covid my family would meet with our Canadian relatives in a pasture almost close enough to shake hands. Many angry border Covid stories on both sides. Some border guards didn't agree with the rules either, but they didn't make them.

[@beyounged]

yeah, the decision makers in Ottawa and Washington should have come over to these areas and take a look and they will IMMEDIATELY change their mind about these comically stupid rules, at least in areas like point roberts

[@yordanpopov]

These rules were inhumane and hopefully never implemented again as they didn't do anything about the spread of covid.

[@lawrencena8244]

The joke about glazz donuts was very funny

[@beyounged]

it was the one that made the police officer crack. glad you enjoyed!

[@toadabc]

The problems Dr. Jordan Peterson in Canada prove just how "sick" Canada is. And the Canadian voters seem to love it.

[@jessicapearson9479]

That is a heck of an ending 😄😄😄😄

[@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.

[@brentsummers7377]

I bet a lot of soccer balls have been kicked over that border at the park AND a lot of kids have gone to retrieve them.😂😂

[@pdraggy]

That lady should have, after getting a no from border guards, begged one of the residents with a boat for a ferry acrossed the bay. That way she would not have to quarantine.

[@beyounged]

and get a very hefty fine from CBA, also that resident should get ready to lose his license.

[@cheukhoma]

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

[@Merzui-kg8ds]

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

[@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!

[@fredjones7705]

I lived in Blaine for 7 years. I knew a guy who lived on "A" street and would use a sand wedge to lob g-balls into Canada, often they would be returned the same way.
