Big "taking my ball and going home" energy.

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.

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

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

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years 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.

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

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.

Murica hates education!

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.
