"What the heck is going on?": Why this BC community put a fence along its border with the US

[@yhird]

Give me a break. The same people complaining about a fence on the border, drive home to their gated communities.

[@79who]

exactly

[@noname2031-w5r]

100 percent accurate also global news is garbage 😅

[@maggypregnolato5517]

It's called BORDER PROTECTION...good..

[@maggypregnolato5517]

AND it should be a higher fence...

[@nickyalousakis3851]

why on earth would anyone be against a simple fence.... ON A BORDER?

[@ryanj357]

It's because the fence wouldn't make a difference. People can still climb it. Maybe if it was like Trumps border wall with razor wire it would make alot more sense.

[@Why-ym8ch]

They feel they own the neighborhood and nobody asked their permission first. Karens and man Karens (whatever they're called).

[@nancyneyedly4587]

You are missing the point and don't understand. This is a small area at the end of a residential neighbourhood. The american side is Point Roberts, a pene-enclave, meaning you cannot get into Point Roberts, the US side, unless you travel through Canada. That fence is stopping no one and does nothing. For years there has never been a need for it or a problem that required it. So why now?! It looks dumb, it is a literal representation of dumb.

[@cdean8955]

What exactly do you think a chain link fence is going to do?

[@palco22]

As a Canadian who, years ago, enjoyed travelling throughout the US and now I've become tired of their social decline, ... but for now I'd be happy if they would just stay on their side of the line plus another 10 feet.

[@francesbernard2445]

I don't know about how well only a fence could help given how some U.S. business men are probable in the habit of sending us their high pressure salemen here on business trips anyway.

[@nickyalousakis3851]

ironically americans are saying the same thing.

[@TheGruntski]

It is our GPD per capita that has fallen by 40% relative to the US.

[@InspirationIgnite310]

Curious why no one is blaming Trudeau for this????? If he didn’t screw our country, never would have been an issue. Put blame where blame is due!!

[@toolbaggers]

*3 meters

[@NoCluYT]

Any barrier between me and America is a good barrier.

[@ImNotNormAll]

You sound like Trump 😂

[@waynekennethtaylor]

Close the border

[@Dane-o7q]

And vice versa EH!

[@Ilikeryche]

They built a fence based on one incident? I find that hard to believe. Must be some other reason.

[@scarecrow2275]

With how much Trump is complaining about the illegals and drugs coming from Canada, you'd think Americans would be happy about a fence, geez! Remember, they voted for this! Don't let them live it down!! lmao

[@jaygray7102]

Plenty of Canadians would like to see a border fence too, they're called conservatives and many are trump supporters. Fences are pointless when you can dig under them, and that fence looks easy to climb. Plus you can get there by boat.

[@Jarvie-e9u]

Build it bigger !!!

[@nancyneyedly4587]

Look at a map troll.

[@stormshadow3650]

Violations of natives yeah pay out more and more natives give them money great move by trump silly man alot of Canada natives got paid millions land claims in 2024 lawsuits keep it coming

[@stormshadow3650]

Some first nations people got paid 200K each in Canada several first nations

[@stormshadow3650]

Each person got paid big amounts of cash

[@TheGruntski]

Building walls for Trump - isn't that what he said people would do? Only in BC...is it the fentanyl or the magic mushrooms or....

[@mortgagedavid]

Ppl mad at a fence, breaking news

[@dianemccarthy3655]

Just a regular fence to mark the border line. Probably to warn and deter people on both sides from crossing the border accidently or illegally.

[@KnowHowDOCTOR]

Keep it in for safety and make it taller so that elder fellow can't climb it

[@justadildeau]

He'll snag his drooping coin purse on the top rail

[@yourbudspud9366]

Lmfao😂 I agree with bigger

[@heresalemonsukonit276]

Lmao

[@pantherman4699]

What?? You cannot just walk across into another country anywhere, instead of reporting to an actual border crossing? Absurd.

[@pccougar895]

Build the wall, build the wall, But oh god you put up a fence how dare you. America has gone insane.

[@yourbudspud9366]

We need bigger walls along our border. Along the whole border we need a huge wall built

[@GermainnOrtiz-sp3vu]

Well it means that's the end of my property. It's marked with the fence line, don't see anything wrong, every home in Canada has one.

[@toolbaggers]

No, not everyhome has a fence around it.

[@blackhat5434]

this is alot to do about nothing.

[@garettdoornwaard4822]

"Violating first nation rights" 😂 bro they can still cross at the legal crossings

[@RomanesEuntDomus.]

Yeah, but we must play the race card!! 😂😂

[@JediContrast]

Why the hell is this global news? Get your heads out your arses with all your red herrings.

[@dboythered]

Global news is the broadcaster not a definition or statement. Are you a bot? Lol

[@JediContrast]

@dboythered This doesnt even qualify as news. Its not even truthfully represented. Look up red herring and learn something.

[@jimjimmers8571]

“Global News” is the broadcaster 💀 They do mainly Canadian stories because they are a Canadian news station

[@sleepinglioness5754]

You're exactly right. This is a local issue in a small Canadian community and a smaller US community. Global News is trying to make this a 'Trump' issue when it is not.

[@JimBlackwood-l7x]

Grow up people, it's just a fence. If that's what you're complaining about you have a really sad life 😂

[@mars9953]

Sorry, it’s a country’s border, a very serious thing. Trump has forced Canada to be more vigilant of illegal border crossings. The consequence is that Trump will charge us 25% tariff, that will be devastating to our economy. Please put up A taller better fence

[@toolbaggers]

Since that fence is entirely on the Canadian side, a Canadian can legally hop over it back-and-forth as maytimes as they like.

[@Ckirkham21]

If you climb and hurt yourself on the Canadian chain link, don’t claim Canadians healthcare to help you!🇨🇦🙌🏼

[@frankieb8591]

Take down the fence on your home property line first. Then talk.

[@bccoaster8533]

Point Roberts should belong to Canada anyways.

[@azulaquaza4916]

America dosent like giving up any territory

[@ytzpilot]

Nope because the Oregon Treaty agreed on the 49th parallel with the exception of Vancouver Island, Britain never laid a claim to Point Roberts in the treaty

[@OhArchie]

Come and take it…

[@NoGo-nl5ll]

That's not how it works.

[@francescogs8482]

You can fight the fence for years or walk 10 yards to go around it in a few seconds. Your choice! 😅

[@waynemanning3262]

I spent years of my youth at that very site, back then there was a simple rail fence about 30 inches high with a walk through opening! I crossed that fence everyday sometimes dozens of times back before 9/11. That fence was only meant to mark the end of the road and was painted white, this fence cannot be seen by cars and looks like it can easily be bypassed.

[@kefs]

MAKE IT 20FT TALLER! Secure the border already! Sheesh.

[@Nathanjk400]

Why not. Whats stopping criminals from just crossing over and smuggling guns

[@DM-he8vw]

finally! clear markings! that's gotta upset those guys smuggling huh

[@NoGo-nl5ll]

Oh no these horrible victims of a chain link fence.

[@planesandbikes7353]

Kind of mind boggling we don't have a proper tall fence w barbed along the border in these suburban areas already.

[@Elizabeth-vw1vb]

...and machine gun turrets?

[@planesandbikes7353]

@@Elizabeth-vw1vb yes yes that would be so much fun!

[@nancyneyedly4587]

That is entirely overkill for the location of this border point. You can only get into Point Rob by going through Canada, and they can only get into any other part of the US by going through Canada, it is a pene-enclave, completely detached from mainland US.

[@annetteejohnson1446]

Yeah the old guy is right. He probably could climb. So take it down and make a 20 foot one made out of steal. Great idea old guy.

[@annetteejohnson1446]

Build around all the borders

[@michaelmatwijiw3045]

Put a fence across the whole border

[@SkylarGraham]

That ladies tape measure skills are on point, and the old man was right, we’re gonna need a bigger wall!

[@James-ke5sx]

It also stops migratory species which in turn can start a domino effect in wildlife populations and natural vegetation Etc. Imagine if all the migratory Birds were suddenly prevented from traveling during seasonal changes.

[@stevedent4701]

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! BIRDS CAN FLY. YOU CRAZY !!!

[@mikesch2922]

this will definitely change Trumps mind on tarrifs

[@MichaelFrederick-w9l]

So over dramatic

[@pacman3556]

0:42-- fence goes like 20-30 ft and ends without any barriers.....that'll stop 'em

[@xeero24]

The people of bc deserve the tariff that are coming. First Nations? Iron gate? It’s an international border and it needs to be secured. Poor reporting and idiots in BC.

[@Bunbunfunfun]

Yes the biggest whiners and entitlement dorks welcome to BC, sadly I live here.

[@brianrobitaille7105]

Build it bigger!!!! The same crybaby’s will cry louder when everything goes up 25%

[@chriswall618]

That little fence! That’s not stopping anyone from getting into the USA . What a JOKE 😂

[@17kcotsdoow86]

I understand it wasn't put there for border security, but I'd bet the same people complaining would probably rather have tariffs than fix border security.

[@yourbudspud9366]

And indigenous rights!? What a joke!

[@patrickcowan8701]

Don't fence me in.

[@peggysews]

Did anyone actually watch the clip? It's only there to prevent accidental crossings after a confused senior with dementia crossed by accident and ended up dying because no one knew to look for him on the American side. It's easy enough to avoid if you really want to cross into Point Roberts.

[@dickiewongtk]

Lets secure the border!!

[@dr.anandarokiaraj868]

It should be big

[@francesbernard2445]

That chain link fence looks way too black to be called a regular chain link fence. What kind of coating does it have? Is that coating too flammable to be constant exposed to the elements?

[@stevedent4701]

We should just take pt Robert's. For national security. It's ridiculous that's It's part of America in the first place. And why such a fuss over a chain link fence ? Personally I would like one the size of the southern borders wall.

[@Mothman156]

Well their president wanted a more secure border. I say thicken the fence 🫠

[@sandrabryan9106]

This should have been put to referendum…white picket fence would have been my first pick, with an orange snow fence at a close second 😊

[@TentaclePentacle]

Only a fence? There need to be atleast electrified spikes

[@AngelofDeath333]

That fence doesn’t affect the rest of Canada. Why do I a Manitoba resident need to be concerned about it??

[@news2hedz227]

Lol that old guy complaining should try to climb the Mexican one if he's so into climbing walls

[@ScottRox-l1j]

Why set a rule of 10 feet only to ignore it?

[@justinshemluk]

Its a fence. Anyone can cllimb that. Make it higher 50 feet we aint even trying

[@chefbennyj]

Make the fence taller. 😂

[@mm-gp9pi]

There should be no barrier... canada is 51st state

Should be a bigger fence

[@darceyfiddler2346]

What does somebody walking down the street and being found dead later have to do with anything they could climb the fence and be found dead🤔

ohh thats terrible it should be much much longer and bigger

BUILD THE WALL

[@WelcomeBackCanada]

Oh, it's just Eby exerting his paltry attempt to puff out his chest. The people of BC are NOT Eby,

[@Bet_You_Didnt]

As an american i feel safer

[@staylor6913]

Egad! A fence on an international boundary! 🙄

[@GarageShaman]

The wall needs to be extended by thousands of miles and maybe six feet vertically. Also it's kind of tragic how Americans still think we're friends after they elected a man who directly threatened our sovereignty and treated our longtime loyal friendship like it was nothing. Regardless of whoever is in office, it's going to take years to mend the relationship. I had a lot of compassion for Americans, but now I just don't trust them or want them around.

[@Wayne-n1t]

And yet,somehow, this is news?

[@MBB563]

This is silly.....As an American take it down....we are brothers. end of story.

[@palco22]

You are, of course, referring to New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. ... are you not ?

[@enriquemoran9094]

lol nope. You are a way too high and way too armed cousin trying to get in. Better stay on your side, might be contagious.
