Canada-U.S. border towns fight for right to bubble together

Two picturesque towns along the Canada-U.S. border are fighting for the right to bubble together. They straddle the Alaska-B.C. border and are separated by a clear-cut line and a COVID travel ban.
But in many ways the two communities are as one, and rely heavily on each other. Briar Stewart shows how people there are working together even as they're apart.

There is no US Border control point but there is Canada Customs. Historically a few people a year get stuck in Hyder after leaving Canada without the right paperwork to get back. Point Roberts WA has a similar problem, unable to go anywhere without driving through Canada. Exceptions should be made.

Neighbors hardly know one another, often if not for kids there would be zero bonding. As for this special case, it would be totally moral to bond / bubble the communities. I recently commented on a site of being too dependent on Russia, but this is much more accepting, it's just better rooted. This situation specifically, they're risk taken via COVID regardless of boundaries.

    this is an American problem resulting from American greed. one Point Rider resident had the audacity to petition for gov of Canada to BUY the land (like our gov didn't have better things to spend its taxpayers money on). If the residents would get desperate enough they could convert it into Canadian soil for free lol. But honestly - tell me why should Canada be on the backcall solving American citizen's problem if said people are only going to be patriots to their country at the end of the day? if the situation was reversed - America never hesitates to exploit Canada or assert it's dominance. Just build a ferry/ transport routs or don't construe borders that don't make geographical and economical sense. it's that simple. travelling between the two borders, with their strict security checks and all, every single day for essentials sounds so exhausting tbh. but then what do ik, I watched a doc on Mexican kids crossing into the US to study and that border process legit took long time. kids were waking up at 4 am daily just to school.
