You are more blessed on the Canadian side because ot the free health care system. I like the USA but concerning social things they are way behind many other states. As long as you are healthy there is no problem but when you have even something simple like Diabetes or asthma and no health insurance you have a big problem. So I prefer Canada, not only because of the better health care system.

Interesting border situation. I live in Detroit which Downtown sits less than 2 miles north of Downtown Windsor, Ontario and at least that is separated by a river. They are also currently building another bridge that will have biking and walking access between the countries so that will be interesting. Also being so close to the border some Apps will think you're in Canada even though you're in the US like occasionally Google Maps will show hotels prices in CAD instead of USD for example.

The ditch is quite startling. Just a reminder that even though everything looks the same on both sides of the border, people are innocently going for a walk or walking their dogs, kids playing in the park, looks like a regular suburban all American neighborhood - but if you cross the ditch, you will suffer ramifications as even though everything looks similar, innocent and peaceful, we are still divided by borders and countries that keep us separate. Just like animals in the wild who are territorial, we as human beings also mark our territory. The subtleness of the ditch is almost more disturbing than putting up something like a wall or razor linked fence, just because it's such a gentle reminder. Kind of creepy really.

Yes I've been to Peace Arch Park several times, it's very nice in my humble opinion. It's OK to cross the border just as long return to your country. The "moat" is just plain silly, but quite important in that it is a deterrent for vehicles that want to cross the border illegally.

Its ironic that there was a Tim Horton paper coffee cup littering the lawn on the Canadian side of the peace monument. Those darn coffee cups are everywhere in Canada.

When I watch this I recognize how simple it is in Europe without borders. You can just walk or drive through different countries without restriction, fences or control. There still exists a border police somehow but not like in other countries. I feel very free and priviledged with this now. The only thing is that the police of the different countries must work together better than in other countries with borders to avoid a lawless zone. 😅

As long as you remain within the park. So technically you are in the "foreign country" but can't access any of it outside of the park until you cross the official border crossing. Think of it this way, when you drive across the Peach Bridge or Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, when your car comes to the middle of the bridge you have technically entered the "foreign country" without permission from them until several feet/meters later when you get the the border booths. Same if you walk across the bridge at Niagara Falls. You've technically entered the foreign country without permission and are in the foreign country, but can't really access any of it until you talk to the border guards located several feet/meters into the country.

I grew up in this area in the 60/70's. MyBuds father owned a fishboat and moored it on the US side. We, 15 &16 yo, were all Canadian. We would walk across the US border and go to the Blaine marina where the boat was moored. Then sail it to Ocean Park waters in Semiahmoo Bay (all Canadian Waters) and spend the day fishing/crabbing. Traps were landed in BC and then we went back to the US to moor the boat and for the long walk home. I oh so loved that life.

Great video! Canadians can cross the street into the American side of the park without a passport or border checks as long as they leave the park back into canada. If they want to visit America beyond the park boundaries then they have to go through the official border crossing on the highway. Same rules for Americans they can walk to the Canadian side of the park and stay in Canada as long as they are within the park boundaries but they must exit the park on the American side.

Thank you so much for very nice vedo❤😊🥰

There was a guy who was thinking that if you have to stop at the Border, it can't be open. Let me explain what a closed Border is. During the time of COVID, it was closed to most of us, except for essential workers and Truckers so it was more or less closed. Another way to explain the difference between an open one and a closed one is when no one is allowed to enter, period. Having to stop at a Border is for the country you are entering wants to know if you are Admissable, that is all. During COVID it was in a way closed but only for those who had no specific reason, like tourism to cross.

One big difference with the International Peace Garden Park in ND/MB, when you leave the park, all visitors have to clear customs; either Canadian or American

just FYI there are no fences between the U.S. and Canada border in general, this is not special for the Peace Arch border. the difference is just that you can legally cross. also the rule is that all nationals can enter the park and move freely on both sides as long as they leave on the side they entered from. it used to be generally accepted to „go through immigration“ just after leaving the park on the other side with your passport and while that might still be possible it is not the way it’s supposed to work.

Imagine that border patrol job, must be a peaceful life sitting in a park your whole life

21:21 - Now has been more than 100 years since that date, and when the arch was built.

The atmosphere at the US-Canada border looks more relaxed and friendly than my home in Texas on the US-Mexico border , I live in Nye , Anna ave street . My house is near the Rio Grande River.

Is there no rule guidelines listed on a board somewhere? Most parks have a guidelines or rules section. It should state what you can do and possibly if you can cross over or not.

Pretty sure anyone going into this park can visit the park on either side. They just have to either come back the way they came or clear customs for proper entry. Technically when you’re at the peace arch and south of it you’re in the Washington state park side and when you’re north it’s the peace arch provincial park. People may be able to cross into the Canadian side here? I’ve done this three times. Took public transit to Blaine walkers through the park like you did walked through the border went to CBSA there and walked to white rock. I also chickened out of taking greyhound once back to Seattle and did this southbound. If you are in Blaine where the underpass is you’ll see a do not enter sign. That’s where walk throughs from us customs go. Good idea to have ID. border patrol and CBSA do have a strong presence here especially on the us side. If you leave in a different country than you started please do check in. The CBSA office is just north on the sidewalk so pictured and the USA CPB office is south of this point. Follow the signs.

You need to go to the Haskell Library that literally sits on the border between Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec. The border is marked inside the library and Canadians and Americans can cross freely inside. Just that Canadians can't exit the American side and Americans on the Canadian side.
