Canadian border.......


We have a place on a river which is our local US/Canada border. We are on the US side and have an excellent view across the river to Canada. Many, many people casually are fishing, canoeing, etc. to the Canadian shore and back. Since last year, I have seen one single customs boat patroling. What would stop anybody who wanted to cross this border..north or south. I hope some sophistications are in place that we know nothing about, but I doubt it. It seems to rather wide open as usual..but then we have always had excellent relationships here and we mutually respect the others domains. We never cross the border illegally, although we have done so many times in our lives unintentionally.

We also have a duck-hunting cottage in northern ND about 4 miles south of the Manitoba border. You would be very surprised about the realities of that border also.

I expect current events are going to change the ways we will cross borders forever. What a shame.




I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

There's a town, I forget the name, that straddles the border along the NY State line I think. One side of the main street in the US, the other in Canada. No problems so far. There have always been several unmanned crossing points along the rural Montana border and others. Prior to sometime about the middle of the last century, that's the way it was with Mexico. When my Irish great great grandaddy landed in Wilmington, NC and made his way up the Cape Fear River, nobody asked him for a passport. If anybody asked him anything, it was if he wanted to work. That's sort of the way it is now.



All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
