Point Roberts may be sold to Canada. In fact, Point Roberts, WA is only part of the US due to a mapping error that occurred when America’s borders were being made. Now, the recent border closure has many residents trapped. Come with us as we explore this unique accident and the fascinating community that came from it.
Everyone seems to know of a unique location for us to explore next. Let us know YOURS at: www.offthecuf.com/whereshould...

that's true of a lot of places. You could be born in Tonj, Sudan, and die in Tonj, South Sudan, due to a new country forming there in 2011. You could be born in Moscow, Russian Empire, in Moscow, Soviet Union, due to a change in national government in 1922. There are actually a surprising number of ways that could happen once you think about it.

One of the things that has prevented Point Roberts from becoming Canadian is that the fishing rights in the water around it are what is valuable. While the US does not appear to highly value the land, it is the fishing rights they value. A deal could be proposed to sell the land to Canada and keep the fishing rights, however Canada had taken the position, that unless they end up with the fishing rights, they are quite prepared to keep the status quo.

Living in South Delta for 30 years I used to go to Point Roberts a couple times a month for mail and petrol. In the 70's and early 80s PR was a rocking place on Sundays when bars were closed in B.C. The Breakers used to have great live music and the The Reef tavern was a funky hangout. Every Sunday evening hundreds of hammered Canadians would head north to home through the border, but I don't recall there being a severe drunk driving problem. Loved Clark's store on the east side.

I lived in Delta as a teen, the city that borders Pt. Roberts. When my friend got his driver's licence, we'd drive down there at least once a month. Gas was a lot cheaper in the US at that time. That was always fun. We'd go for a half-hour drive from our neighbourhood down to the border. They'd ask us the purpose of our trip. "Getting gas" was the answer, and hundreds of other people did it too. We'd fill up, go to the grocery store and get some American chocolate, maybe drive down to the water and check out the scenery, then head home. I like the anomoly of having Pt. Roberts right there, but, I really think it should just be Canada. It seems like a silly oversight that it's the USA.

@@AdamDavid But it's not open water, it's in a large inlet, it would be rough in storms but no rougher than the Foveaux Strait between the South Island of New Zealand & Stewart Island, which IS open water on both sides, the Southern Pacific Ocean & the Tasman Sea, with the Southern Ocean being all that lays south of Stewart Island, until you hit Antarctica. The daily ferry between Stewart Island & the Mainland serves about 1000 locals too, with all that entails, plus the holiday & tourist numbers. Foveaux Strait is recognised as even rougher than the Cook Strait, the strait between the South & North Island, which is easily among the world's roughest ferry crossings on a bad day, which occasionally from time to time even ferries big enough to carry trucks & trains cant cross. It would be very easy to have a daily ferry crossing from Point Roberts to WA, it's no different from any other island with a residential population. Or they should just be given Dual Citizenship so they can live and work in Canada while still being American & able to live in affordable homes.

@@AdamDavid New Zealander here.. While it may seem to an American that we have socialist ideals, that's only in comparison to America, which is the western outlier when it comes to extreme capitalism. What Americans call normal capitalism, is extreme hyper-capitalism compared to every other western country where things like public health, sick pay, maternity leave etc are the norm. But NZ is actually one of the most Neoliberal countries in the western world. With a major housing affordability crisis, rising inequality, wages well below the rate needed for our insane living costs, & many systemic issues due to the last 35 years of Neoliberalism. We own very few assets now, infrastructure, food distribution, etc. For eg as a country, we have to compete with export markets for dairy prices despite us only being 5% of our own market. So that in a country with the 5th largest dairy production in the world, a 1kg block of cheese is $17nzd, that same block of cheese is $9.40nzd in Australia in the same supermarket chain. (Fonterra, the private/farmer co-op owned NZ dairy multinational makes a killing). Then there's housing, we haven't had significant social housing built in 40 years due to an obsession with Neoliberal market policies, with 2 thirds of all individual investment pumped into housing, & now we have a massive housing availability & affordability crisis amid an out-of-control property bubble where houses have gone up nationally by 16% THIS YEAR, on top of 100% rises in many places in less than 10 years. Auckland is passing $1M median house price, more expensive than Melbourne. & due to the Neoliberal status-quo, those absolutely insane & consolidated gains are tax-free because we still don't have a capital gains tax, a property tax, or stamp duty, as crazy as that sounds. As for privatisation, we were already very Neoliberal, then in 2007 we had an ex US-Fed banker for a Prime Minister, & all the last remaining power companies were sold, & as far as national assets go, they were among the last remaining. Other than those that had been renationalised after previous privatisation resulted in asset stripping (Kiwirail). Or Air NZ which was privatised, bailed out & bought back & built up to the reputable brand it became, then sold again, then re-nationalised again this year to save it from Covid collapse. A huge number of assets were sold in the 80s & 90s, then after 2007, & now very little is state-owned. The first ferry mentioned, between Stewart Is & South Island, is run by a council-owned holding Co. The 2 Ferry Cos between the North & South Is, despite being such critical infrastructure for inter-island twice daily freight, one is public/private, & the other is private owned. So yep, definitely not a socialist paradise. We can't even pass a capital gains tax, can you imagine how much profit has been consolidated when people have made 500% profit on homes in 20 years, and those 500% gains untaxed? With negative gearing on-top of that, & no rent control. We may have a version of universal health, but it pales in comparison to Australia's, & that of Europes. And the previous conservative govt ripped $16 Billion in funding out of the health system to pay for further tax cuts for the rich, so that we only have 160 ICU beds for the whole country.. Back to the ferry, if a council-owned ferry can operate daily to serve about 1000-2000 locals & tourist traffic, in a country as Neoliberal as ours, then Point Roberts can easily do the same..

There is a similar situation with the border between Sweden and Finland. The town Haparanda-Tornio are two towns that essentially act as one town. Residents work on both sides of the border and the people in the town tend to speak both languages. They even share emergency services like police firetrucks ect. Before corona virus, the border was open and residents travelled freely to do grocery shopping, go to clubs, visit friends and family. Due to both countries being part of the EU, residents could work in both countries and both halves of the town and no border checkpoints. Now however... This is one town split in two.

When the 49th parallel was decided as the border, Point Roberts slipped by as if no one notice it was there. The southern 1/3 of Vancouver Island is also below the 49th. From Ucluelet on the west coast and from Cedar on the East would all be part of the USA but an agreement was reached giving the Alaska Panhandle to the US and southern Vancouver Island to Canada. At the time no consideration was made for Point Roberts.

But after hearing the arguments, I'm sitting here imagining what it'd be like to live in a tiny little village in the center of Toronto or New York City cut off from the hustle and bustle.

I heard, don't know if it's true, when the lake freezes over, the governments treat it like land and regulate what part of the ice you travel on. Heaven forbid, if an American crossing to Angle Inlet inadvertently went onto Canadian ice! I don't think boat traffic on the lake is regulated like that in summer. If I'm being inaccurate, I'd appreciate knowing.
