Canada-U.S. border towns fight for right to bubble together

Two picturesque towns along the Canada-U.S. border are fighting for the right to bubble together. They straddle the Alaska-B.C. border and are separated by a clear-cut line and a COVID travel ban.
But in many ways the two communities are as one, and rely heavily on each other. Briar Stewart shows how people there are working together even as they're apart.

No one was allowed to crossed the border to winterize our trailer since they called it nonessential. EMS weren't allowed across into Hyder even after a man suffered a heart attack and died!

this is an American problem resulting from American greed. one Point Rider resident had the audacity to petition for gov of Canada to BUY the land (like our gov didn't have better things to spend its taxpayers money on). If the residents would get desperate enough they could convert it into Canadian soil for free lol. But honestly - tell me why should Canada be on the backcall solving American citizen's problem if said people are only going to be patriots to their country at the end of the day? if the situation was reversed - America never hesitates to exploit Canada or assert it's dominance. Just build a ferry/ transport routs or don't construe borders that don't make geographical and economical sense. it's that simple. travelling between the two borders, with their strict security checks and all, every single day for essentials sounds so exhausting tbh. but then what do ik, I watched a doc on Mexican kids crossing into the US to study and that border process legit took long time. kids were waking up at 4 am daily just to school.

In Australia, we call it "The Goldilocks Science..." Where travelling 4kms from your home is safe, 6kms will kill you but 5kms is "JUST RIGHT!". Where standing up in a bar & looking around is okay, standing up & speaking to somebody or sipping on a beer will 'kill you;' but sitting down when you sip on that beer is "JUST RIGHT!" Yep, the 'Goldilocks Science' that we know is BULLSH1T! Kids can figure it out, but adults freak-out.

I'm not surprised. Didn't know that. I remember when I was a little boy, a cop called me a little girl when I and my mom was riding in a police car driven by my dad. He was a cop who was picking up a criminal from a county jail in Fort Worth, Texas and taking him back to a county jail in Tyler, Texas. Lol. I guess I'm a woman and that kid is a boy. Lol.

That kid's parents are talking about it constantly , he didn't think it up on his own.

Canadian cop: bonfire, eh? Murican border agent: get ur hands out of ur pockets. Got any I.D.? I challenge anyone on the planet to prove me wrong. 😂😂😂

You can't prove a negative genius. It's like me saying "you raped someone" now prove me wrong.

America has 10X the population that Canada has. Let's increase Canada's population to 350 million including a lot of very large cities and see how "polite" and "liberal" they remain.

You can afford to be “nice” when you don’t have a history based on chattel slavery and using nuclear weapons on civilian targets.

As a Candian, I recognize that this authoritarianism has gotten ridiculous. When will Trudeau grow a set of balls and start making rapid exceptions for our American friends?

[@korytoombs886]

This started with 9/11 and the USA requiring passports to go across the border. Blame the right person.

This is a great story. Sad to hear that little voice break.

[@paulputin3018]

I think they simply need a special pass issued to them that allows them to go back and forth within a certain distance like say up to 10 miles inland into each country without a ton of restrictions That's how they have between the Ukraine and Moldova in Europe . You simply can't go further out then that.That's all. It should be pretty simply to resolve.

[@WittleJeh]

Is there an update on this? A year has passed and COVID restrictions have been somehow eased since.
