I have long thought #pointroberts has gotten the short end of the stick. Geographically it doesn’t make sense for them to be part of the US. #USpoli #canpoli

US/Canada border redrawn so that point roberts is a part of Canada.

I think we should work on getting the fine people of Point Roberts to secede from the US and join Canada.

We'll call it the Canadian Peninsula.

Thoughts?

🇺🇸 AMERICA'S MOST CANADIAN TOWN TRAPPED IN TRADE WAR 🇺🇸

The Guardian's Alexandra Tremayne-Pengelly reports from Point Roberts, Washington — so Canadian it sells gas by the liter and half its residents hold dual citizenship. Trump tariffs are killing it.

US’s most Canadian town is stuck in the middle of a trade war Isolated from the rest of the US, Point Roberts businesses say a drop in Canadian tourism is economically devastating

“Point Roberts warrants a unique solution due to its geographic quirks, according to Calder, who is appealing for help on a “humanitarian basis” to ensure its survival.”

NW WA tends to go Republican. Did they get what they voted for?

We lived in #PointRoberts and I expect the Bald Eagles that nest on that exclave may not return south after the Salmon run.

On edge: an uncertain future for Canadian-U.S. border cities United by geography yet split by a border, these cities grapple with new and potential changes as the trade war between Canada and the U.S. escalates

In Tsawwassen, BC, #Canada there is a border crossing that takes you to #PointRoberts, #Washington. They are reliant on Canadians. Canada should pull that area back into Canada (49th parallel, 49th schamarallel). Be kind to the people of Point Roberts. canadiangeographic.ca/articles/on-...

#pointroberts grocery store is empty. The coffee shop is empty. The town relies on mostly Canadians for its economy along with BC Hydro and Vancouver water. I feel for them but… Canada comes first. Your president continues to threaten us with annexation. Do something. It’s getting worse. #cndpoli

A road goes off into the distance between two stands of trees. It is a road to America. The end is unknown. There’s a fire hydrant in white with a blue top in the foreground just outside the window of the car. We are parked alongside the border.

Good luck next week. This part of you seemed ok. Hoping for the best for the rest!
