This is such a travesty! This is the sweetest little village with deep ties to the Canadian town over the border. I am so ashamed. Noem’s visit and comments were beyond disrespectful. Such irreversible damage being done.
They’re working on this but it costs money, something libraries famously don’t tend to have a lot of. If you want to help, they have a GoFundMe: https://www.haskelloperahouse.org
Neocons do their homework. They seek out venues, programs, dates, or persons that are symbolic of democratic and progressives values to terminate or demagogue.
In the "I Love Lucy" episode "Men Are Messy," Lucy, tired of Ricky's messy habits, divides the apartment in half, allowing him to be messy in his half but not hers, but the plan backfires when a photographer from Look magazine is scheduled to come and take pictures.
Well if the entire Canadian USA border is being scrutinized and entry to USA under a microscope, then this building, straddling 🇺🇸🇨🇦 would have to have the same procedures, as much as I doubt it’s a smuggler hotbed. OR prevent a gun coming in a bag from USA to Canada. Here we are.
Was your point that everyone in the US government and media is hilariously spineless? Because they are. The losers are the American public. I'm sure, being the proud and strong people they are, they will do something about it...right??
#DonaldTrump's a petty little man w/the intellect of an infant. No offense to infants. He's dangerous & his personal issues with #Canada is something that no one, except the #TrumpCult understands. #ILoveCanada I regret not moving there as I'd planned. But shit happens. This pettiness' heartbreaking
The United States is a tyrannical country now. The American public elected a convict to their highest office, and now he is destroying America and destroying all of the international relationships that America relied on to be successful.
"Drug traffickers and smugglers were exploiting the fact that Canadians could use the US entrance without going through customs. We are ending such exploitation by criminals and protecting Americans"
Sure, buddy...
They always use drugs, pedophiles, and terrorists as their excuse for tyranny.
Donald Trump is threatening us every day. "Annexation by economic force" is actually traditionally called a SIEGE. There is nothing petty going on here at all. The United States government is now an utterly tyrannical entity, and will only get worse until Americans reclaim their constitution.
This library/opera house play a crucial role in my current WIP. I would hate to change my storyline due to the continued fascist bent of our government. This town has other buildings (even homes) that straddle the border. Are they going to be prevented from moving between their kitchen and bedroom?
It's part of the friendly state of WA which is overwhelmingly blue and loves Canada. We did not vote for the Mango Menace. The sad thing is isolating those on Point Roberts could very well kill/starve medical care and groceries and would be as evil as Trump is.
I'm afraid threatened Canadians are staying away not to punish the island but standing together as a united front. It's too bad that people on the island may suffer, but Canadians have no idea what Trump may try and do to us.
I'm talking about the cutting off access to people on the island which would prevent medical care in emergencies and it would prevent groceries from entering point roberts. The people there are not the enemy, but Trump is. Isolating them without resources is no different than a concentration camp.
This is true! My comment was a poor attempt at humor. I lived in WA for much of my life and think Point Roberts is a wonderful example of arbitrary lines not getting in the way of good neighbors. Apologies for my insensitive comment!!!
What I hate about what's going on, is that Trump is evil and I'm seeing a lot of hate towards innocent Americans that are traumatized that he is president, and it's just so depressing. I love my neighbors to the north, but apparently there are some that truly hate us because of the orange turd.
This is the US/Canada border. Called the Slash, it is 5000 miles long and ten feet wide. Both countries are responsible for making sure not even one tree grows there.
I am waiting to see how he deals with this. If we Canadians are lucky, he will build a wall before hoards of Americans try to flee.
YES! Please do! Also, if you could also host drag queen bingo. Have food Americans can no longer afford as the prizes. Thanks, from your neighbor to the south of you.
this is sooooo petty!! I suggest that Canada make an entry into the library from the Canada side and enjoy the books and theatre on their side of the library!!
Well. I’m pretty sure there are cranes with wrecking balls on them in Quebec. Check the tax roles to see if it’s current or drop the portion on the Canadian side. Fuckers.
Stupid petty shit.
To blowup friendly relationships over nothing is ridiculous and useless. We have major issues in this country that are being completely ignored while petty shit like this is a priority.
The article fails to mention that during a visit in early March, Kristi Noem hopped from one side of the line to the other while chanting USA #1 and 51st State.
Every last person in this administration is an emotionally stunted troll. Their whole identity in school was bullying, but that hasn't served them well in real life—until now.
More like "curb book trafficking". You know, the US stopping all those dangerous subversive tomes like The Handmaid's Tale, the Kite Runner, Water for Elephants, The Colour Purple, A Court of Thorns and Roses...
The pettiness and small mindedness of the current US administration is really pathetic! You would usually only associates kind of behavior from the likes of Israel…..oh wait…..
What is the Trump Administration doing to curb drug addiction here to lower demand? Nothing, of course.
An estimated 1% of fentanyl comes from Canada. Blaming others for our problems, fake concern for working class problems, incompetence are all on brand for Trump. This is but one more example.

Open a book, blow your mind!
And now, risk getting busted for it.

In two months, Trump has utterly destroyed your country's reputation. It will never, never recover.
These are the death spasms of the American Century
FTFY
