The Library on the Border: Caught in a Political Firestorm #usa #canada YouTube video by Dear Neighbor

Petty tension rising antics by D.H.S. target boarder straddling free library seen as symbol of peaceful cooperation between USA & CAN — Recursive Generative Emergence A response to the facts presented in https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7489528

The #U.S. just cut off #Canadian access to the #HaskellFreeLibrary —a building that literally straddles the border as a symbol of peace. This isn’t about security. It’s about ego.

L’accès canadien à la bibliothèque Haskell « sera fermé » L'accès canadien à la Bibliothèque et Salle d'Opéra Haskell, à Stanstead, serait fermé unilatéralement par les autorités américaines, selon la présidente du CA.
