Big "taking my ball and going home" energy.

Just open a window and put a Canadian Goose inside, the Americans will leave fairly quickly lol

Put a door on the Canadian side, make the space the new LGBTQ+ dance club

Easy fix. Cut a hole in the wall on the Canadian side or better yet tear our half down. Fuck these idiots.

Fill our side with barbed wire and snakes

No I am more fond of the idea of putting geese in the windows.

Take it down. Move it 5 meters to the side and rebuild it putting a new wall in place of the open side. Fill it back up and voila!

I could not find it in the article, but what gives them the authority to do that on the Canadian side?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

The door to enter it is in the USA side. Canadian would need to make an opening on the wall in Canada.

Presumably, the US grant funding. Outside of that, the land was donated by the Haskell family, but the article doesn't say to whom/what, so maybe a US entity "owns" it? I'm unsure of how that can be true while it's designated a National Historic Site of Canada, though.

This article is really sparse. It doesn't even say which US authority made this decision, just that it involved USBP somehow.

Just take a piece of chalk and mark it down the floor. The Brady bunch had this figured out ages ago. We have the technology.

It took actual effort to close the Canadian access. Some asshat thought it was time well spent. The inhumanity is not just in the presidents office or the heritage foundation mansions anymore.

Also, at no point did anyone try to stop said asshat. That's the bit that gets me with these, every time. The country is full of cowards and bullies.

If I wanted to improve the USA, I would add pizza to education. I guarantee that Americans would love education in no time. Solve the problem? Piece of pizza! Done the exercise? Sip of beer! Education is cool!

What you want a bunch of old guys struggling in grade one to just try and get a drink?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Well it wasn't the "entire country" who closed it. It's a petulant child that is souring relations because Putin wants him to. Please don't bash Americans for goofy shit like this.
