we still love Point Reberts, a tiny triangular U.S.- owned spit of land near Washington State border. An early boundary commission drew the latitude line than sliced it off BC over 100 years ago.
Since the population integration is so complete with BC over the years, there is no real conflict but for the border crossing, lately a source of annoyance to all.
In fact if Canada were to annex Point Roberts everyone would benefit from erasing a needless hindrance to commerce and neighborly interaction. A united North America should start here. Our province would look after Point Roberts better than the current slash-and-burn federal administration.
Just say’in
