And than there is Europe where you live in Luxemburg, work in Germany, went to school in Belgium, have a boyfriend in France and visit your parents every week in the Netherlands...

It reminds me of two siblings on vacation who have to sleep in the same hotel bed so they bunch up towels between them

I accidently crossed into Canada during a hunting trip and the Canadian trooper I ran into was super nice and gave me a ride back to my truck and gave me some home made jerky he smoked.

Carlson with the CSBA is great officer.

And now, as of June 22, 2022, Canada's "whiskey war" with Denmark is finally over. The "war" was "fought" over HANS ISLAND, which both countries claimed. The Canadians started the war by raising their flag over the island and leaving a bottle of whiskey when they left. Then Denmark arrived and took down the Canadian flag, respectfully, and raised the Danish flag, leaving a bottle of Cognac. This process was repeated every so often over the years. Now Canada and Denmark have agreed to share the island.

I love how the US and Canada diligently Co-manage a "no touching zone" that maintains the border exactly... and meanwhile in europe some farmer moved a rock slightly which changed the border France, and it took them like 3 years to even notice...

As a truck driver one day I just drove to the border, hopped out of my truck and walked over towards Canada an back to United States a few times and said I crossed the border three times and that was it. Because I was alone it wasn't that much fun

Living in Australia all this border stuff is really fascinating!

The US and Canada really took the "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!" and "Stay on your own side!" banter siblings do to whole nother level!😂😂

"How did this shipwreck happen?! Couldn't you see the lighthouse you crashed into?"

"According to me there is no lighthouse because the island is American"

I find international border stuff fascinating, coming from Australia it's a new concept.

Im from upstate NY. There have been several times that I have driven (drove? idk) into Canada by accident. There are areas where it just turns into Canada. You can tell because all the road signs immediately shift into km and french. Weirded me out.

My dad used to be a teacher up in Blaine Washington and still to this day complains about “why don’t we just give point roberts to Canada” because so many of his students showed up late to school whenever there was the slightest issue at the border

I, with my Canadian father and American mother, am living proof that the "no touching zone" thing doesn't always work.

When my cousin went to uni in Montreal, he met a friend that lived in that aforementioned town going over the border. it's another very small town. There, people can cross the border freely to get to the other side of town and often go to work in either country. They also use both currencies for regular daily transactions. Pretty neat.

As a British Columbian Canadian who lives less than 20 minutes from the border, I find this fascinating. I never knew there was a "no-touching zone" on the entire border. I just thought is was a gap in the forest from logging. And the fact that there are some parts where you have to cross the border to reach another part of your own country is equally interesting.

Imagine living in that one town where you could say “ back in my day I had to cross 4 borders just to get to school”

Person: I think I found oil on the no-touching zone.
USA: who said that was a no-touching zone?

[milesc]

I think we need a referendum to officially name it the No-Touching Zone.

Years ago, I was surveying boundaries of a National Forest. It had been done before in the 1800's. They did an amazing job considering they only had a compass and a chain. We did find one error that was significant enough to cause Forest Service having to move a large park entrance sign maybe 50 feet.

I live near the Texas/Mexican border and we literally buy tamales through the border fence holes. A guy in Mexico roles his tamale cart up and down the border wall. You slip him some peso's through the fence, and a tamale comes to you.
