Nobody tell Trump about Machais. We (and the British before us) maintain a constant presence on this contested island. The US government does not recognize this as Canadian land.

In short, today I learned that Canada and the USA still have (after over 151 years) ongoing border disputes.

If Trump finds out? Seaborne invasion 100%.

This needs NYELLO-ing:

(taken from wikipedia link)

But seriously I thought Canada and the US had many border disputes that were kept.... peaceful. I thought there was an island off Vancouver where you got both the American citizenship and the Canadian one.

Maybe. Perhaps he shouldn’t know of any of them. I certainly don’t!

Don’t worry, we don’t care about some useless island. But fuck with us on this one and we’ll be talking regime change in Canada:

It’s above our goddamn country!!!  Also, go ahead and change the regime. I wouldn’t mind.

So what? If there’s oil there, we’ll just make the whole goddamn Yukon our 51st state and there’s nothing you can do about it!

Oh yeah? Well.... We could....... um........ write a very strong letter to the UN on your actions and..... *sigh* enjoy the oil sir.

I’m pretty sure that’s basically what you guys did already, and yeah, there’s oil there, of course :

At this point, the world feels like it's in a race to the bottom.

Can we claim it if we put a Tim Hortons on it?

The US/Canada border gets weirder than that

Honestly, the whole notion of borders is kinda old timey. It’s too bad that we don’t have some sort of schengen deal between our two nations.

To come down and see WA Oppo’s it is a pain in the ass to cross.

Really? I crossed the border four times in three days about a week ago and it was super quick each time. Hand over the passport, answered whatever three or so random questions the agent asked, and I was done

It can be a very long wait.  I’ve also been searched twice recently.  Once by my own people leaving another by your people entering

Have you ever crossed an inner Schengen border? You drive on the highway, there’s a sign ‘welcome in country X’ and you’ve crossed the border. There’s no stopping, nothing. If you don’t pay attention to signs you won’t even notice you’ve crossed a border.
