I know people who grew up on the US Border in Vancouver in the 60s and 70s. The border was a ditch they could walk or ride across as kids and go to the corner store. Those days ended years ago, but they are almost unthinkable now.
The warnings from Canada on travel to the US are frankly deeply shocking.
“The federal government updated its travel advisory on Friday, warning Canadians of possible detention should one be denied entry to the United States.
“Comply and be forthcoming in all interactions with border authorities,” reads the advisory. “If you are denied entry, you could be detained while awaiting deportation.”
The government also warned that travellers should expect to be heavily questioned and may have their electronic devices searched.
“Individual border agents often have significant discretion in making those determinations,” the advisory reads. “U.S. authorities strictly enforce entry requirements. Expect scrutiny at ports of entry, including of electronic devices.””

I have two friends who live in Point Roberts. I wonder if the island is about to experience a real estate collapsing exodus
"For many, Point Roberts’ appeal is sheer economics. Canadians own summer homes here because waterfront real estate is much cheaper than in the Vancouver area. And there’s steady traffic year-round drawn by lower-priced petrol, milk and alcohol, due to lower US taxes and Canadian management of its dairy production that keeps prices high."

Prices are higher to keep smaller farm operations viable and smaller farms can control the spread of disease better. Witness the egg fiasco in the USA with their factory farms. Factory dairy farms in the USA also use lactating hormones to get a higher yield of milk which shows up in milk. Won’t get into chlorine washed chickens etc.
