America's small town in Canada

There is a place in Minnesota that has the feel of small town America, but if you want to get to the Northwest Angle, travelers have to leave the U.S. and go through Canada to get there. Lee Cowan explains a geographical quirk along the northern border.

Seven girls and one boy? That boy has probably never seen the bathroom in his house...

[magista]

they should just give them dual citizenship lmao it’s only a handful of people

Northwest Angle: "Top of the Nation!"


Alaska: "Am I a joke to you?"

[davidcanizares]

It wasn’t a mistake. The founding fathers were like “( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) let’s mess up this map and get a piece of Canada.”

[cadenrolland]

So basically just like Alaska but way smaller.

[jorgepadua]

There should really be a passport exception for this area.

[bubbabluehorn]

Everyone: bruh imagine having to drive through Canada to get to the other side of your nation


Alaska: am I a joke to you?

When our parents talk about back in their days they had to trek crazy distance to go to school, lmao these kids are doing it now

[larryfitzgeraldjr]

That'd be a shit place to miss your school bus...

Wow, you really do learn something new everyday.

"I realize it's only 150 miles round trip, but"

Super interesting how much different their perspective on life is from most of us. 150 miles is a long way

[mattsmocs]

I’d open a general store up there. And a ferry service across the lake.

[dandreevans]

Imagine waking up that early for school everyday 💔

[RadioGaGago]

This seem like a whole lot of trouble for basically nothing but a mistake

[ezgo]

I'd get sick of checking in the 2 governments just to get groceries. What a joke.

[babyedits-]

Why can’t they just give them dual citizenship

[Vincentwice]

That lady looks INCREDIBLE for a mother of

[annaneedshelp]

them crossing the lake just to go to high-school reminds me of when parents tell you that it took three mountains, five rivers, and fighting one tiger just to reach school

[zacharycraft]

Stranger: so where do you live in America or Canada

Me: Yes

[Zoomer]

Wow, pain in the arse to need your passport just to get a pizza.
