In a picturesque town on the U.S.-Canada border, workers under dark clouds were building a new entrance for Canadians into a library to replace one that had long symbolized bilateral closeness.

    Fyi to all the people saying to tear down the Canadian side:

    You’re saying that we should demolish our own library because Trump is an idiot.
    I know it feels satisfying now, but that is a brutally embarrassing self-own if we actually did something like that.

    We need to make sure that they don’t lock us out of our own library, though. If we have the ability to demolish our half, then we have the ability to allow our citizens into our half.

    Corruption don is late. Canadians have been avoiding the US for months now and probably won’t go back until Corruption don is out of office.

    Old news. They closed this down when this all started, not yesterday. Get some real news, like the Epstein files or something actually news worthy.

    Canada should burn that library to the ground or just demo the part on our side. If it “long symbolized bilateral closeness” it’s time to elbow up and burn the fucker down.

    Or, cut a hole in the side, clear out everything on our side of the border, then put in razorwire.

      Just demolish the Canadian half. Leave it a symbol of Trump’s America, just like what he’s done to the White House.

            Sure it is, the Obama’s tore up the whole south lawn to install an outdoor kitchen were you all up in arms about that? I bet that wasn’t privately funded either. Over there years there have been numerous upgrades to the White House just use any search machine of choice to see the results

      There is nothing to wake up from, they are complicit. They want this to happen. Trump is their God now and will support everything he does. If you are looking for republicans for help, you are looking in the wrong place.

        oh I don’t expect them to. I just wish they would see where this is going even for them. I mean I would take joy in their future misery except my misery will likely be more unless dead.

    Fucking ridiculous. I used to cross in and out of Canada without a passport because it’s fucking Canada!! I used to cross the Rio Grande back and forth too. Insane border policies need to be eliminated.

        I imagine the people who died in those two towers would be horrified at the things done in their name.

        That sentence would probably incite violence against me in a large swathe of the US.

          It’s so wild to me that 25 years later a generation that hadn’t been born yet is memeing about the thing that changed everyone’s lives seemingly overnight.
