US-Canada border tensions over the road

- On Canusa Avenue, houses on one side of the street are in the USA, but on the other side they are in Canada. Its a spot favored by illegal immigrants, and authorities are taking notice. The US is planning to build a wall on the street, and they've already installed a customs post. Duration: 01:50
If your house is on the border line. Your living room is on the U.S side. You buy a gun on the US side, and decide to store it in your bedroom on the Canadian side would you be liable for arrest for gun smuggling ?
Steve Jones That is hilarious but also incredible ironic since it is possible... Canadian gun laws are stricter to, so I wonder actually...
nah america cant mess with you you can still cross border patrol is a fake
+Balto He was wondering if Canada will mess with you, not America. They have strict gun laws.
+Steve Jones yes and no, yes as in Canada they have strict gun laws, and only certain type of guns you are allowed to have, if you have a illegal gun in Canada, and the police decide to investigate your house as some people complained or something stupid you would be charged, prisoned, or both. The No part if you have a legal gun and you have license for both Canada and America, you won't be charged, and if you have a legal gun in Canadian standards than yes, you are allowed to keep it.
+Steve Jones I think it would depend on your own citizenship. If you are a Canadian, you are subject to Canadian laws and regulations even if part of your home is technically in another country. The same way if your house is on a town line (Happens where i'm at in Toronto) you either live on one side or the other.
Thank you, Canada, for being an awesome international neighbor.
what about Mexico? lol
Ni Colas
Mexico isn't mentioned in this video.
Jemalacane0 Is Mexico good neighbor? That's what I mean
Ni Colas
Variably.
Merci Canada
I'm gonna make a country on the white line separating US and Canada. Anyone want to join me?
Ideal Ghoul me
Looks like we have a population of 56 so far.
You’d be like Switzerland then.
im in
So funny on where you put this new country. But, so true, too.
I lived on the Canadian side of Canusa street in the 70's....two blocks up from the customs checkpoint. Had friends straight across on the US side. We would just walk across...eventually they told us we would have to walk down to customs,check in, and walk back up to buddy"s place. 4 blocks vs. 100 ft. At one point, our daylight savings time wasn't synched and we would get called home for dinner an hour early...pissed us all off.
tttubbys lol
tttubbys Get an electric scooter. Problem solved.
Edward J here's a novel idea...Leave dumbass
You have a point there. Although I travel on a US passport, every single time I have travelled between Canada and the States (which is quite often indeed!), Canadian customs and immigration has been far nicer and friendler to me than the Americans. I can only imagine what people go through at the border who do *not* possess a US passport!
@@notsoaverageslovenian My experience in travelling back and forth from California to Canada has been that both sides are quite friendly but I'd give a little edge to the U.S.
I visited Derby yesterday and I was shocked how tight security was. I couldn't imagine living in that kind of hostility
Gannon thank Justin go tell him he is why they must do this he lets folks in unvetted they sneak back into usa kinda makes sense that they feel a security breach
I like how baseless and factless your statement is. I dont care for justin but at least don't spread Bs.
Gannon you shoudl see the rest of Canada....
Lol come to Toronto, Pearson Airport, there you will see tight security, including if your coming from another country, any country even from a European one.
Police state.
1rst world problems at it's finest here...
USA now a police state.
So if one side of the road is Canada, and the other is U.S, and I'm in the U.S going somewhere, but got lost and need to turn around to go the other way, am I screwed because now I am in Canada? Really?
I was thinking that as well....
Kimiski Both ends of the road are in Canada so you have to cross into Canada first to get there. The ones that are screwed are the US residents that have to cross into Canada to go to or leave home.
If you pass a car on the US side Canadian cops will wave at you IF you do the same on the Canadian side US Boarder Patrol will detain you for 6 months without trial. No wonder Canadians don't wan to come to the US ...all this supposed Greatness.
Amen. I hate the United States federal government and pray daily for its collapse. The people of America would do far better were it to break apart into many tinier pieces....
Really@@JonathanAllen0379 ? Do you think breaking up the most powerful country that has ever been..other its major economy and protects a large part of the world into tiny countries is going to be FUCKING BETTER? HOW?
So, I'd need a passport to cross the fucking street? That's so damn silly!
my mailbox is on the other side of the street irl
+axel4196 I could see something like this happening, lol: *Kid in U.S. playing soccer on yard. Ball gets kicked across the street. The kid's friend says "Oh no!" and then he takes off and sprints in the opposite direction. Kid watches his friend run away. Then he turns and faces the ball on the Canadian side. The kid gulps. He takes a huge breath and steps over the middle of the road. The last thing he remembers was sirens. Then everything went black.
The kid and his friend wake up in jail.*
YoungMoneyThugz ROFL I can imagine something like that happening too! That would make a helluva plot for the political drama Madame Secretary XD
+axel4196 Islam. Remember, before it grew in many places, there was no such talk like in this video.
+DrSoccerWhale lol
This is pathetic , US and Canada should have no borders at all.
***** hahahaha canadians dont like america and thats that! We believe in having guns as our freedom, while canada tries to control its people with strict gun laws
***** americans understand that completely, we stick together to stand up to a corrupt government, while canadians are scared to question there government, all im sayimg is wake up canada, ur goverbment doesnt care about you like the way you think
***** are you american? Cause if not then dont speak, cause im actually a dual citizen, whos lived in both countries to compare and understand whats going on, its ashame i am a citizen of canada and dont even wanna go back to visit
Hahaha nobody trolling, and nobody care about you coming to any country u dumb ass, ur the troll talking violence online
As long as you respect, then thats what its all about, but in my time in america all i heard was bad talk about america, at least americans stand up to they government while canadians are content with free healthcare...fu k outta here, you and what army, the police? Yee right
Is it a long distance call to phone your american neighbor? ahahah.
MyAccountBitch Yes LMAO and as soon as you cross from the us into Canada in August you go from summer to the middle of winter weird!!!!
US Boarder Nazis stop Fire Engine from crossing street to put out US house fire.
@@kevincasey5996 I really, REALLY doubt they'd do that. That's not just BS, it's plain stupid--and as such, it's bad politics. ;)
Same thing with ambulances.
Thats one wierd lookin border
it's Madness it's like East and West Germany but without the wall
Madness?
like if other countries don't have boarders or what
No, what it's (becoming) more like is a typical international border crossing.
Did you not realize most of them are monitored ? That you usually don't just get to stroll across such borders untouched and unnoticed whenever and however you please, whether it is from the US to Canada or Thailand to Cambodia ?
They manage just fine in the Schengen area without border checks.
a wait for it
You can cross a million places along the 5 thousand miles of US Canadian border & not a soul will see you or try to stop you. So this is all for show, a sad joke.
w8stral2 There are sensors at least on the TV border. My friend had a hunting camp there and he used to trip them while riding his ATV on the property. Then border patrol showed up. BTW WCAX TV did a report on this topic.
Sorry, VT border......spell check😒
So you have lysdexia :D
The border is longer than 5 thousands miles. You forgot Alaska
I’m confused cause I think people may have stumbled across into Canada by accident depending on where they are up north in the states. Especially if they’re in the woods that also crosses over
Wouldn't it make sense the US and Canada work out some sorta joint ID system for local residents...
You mean like passports, NEXUS cards, or enhanced driver's licenses (both Vermont and Quebec issue them)? Why invent a new system of ID when you already have three different forms of ID which any of the residents could get? And if you spend millions on a forth international ID system... why wouldn't you expect residents simply to refuse to get that ID, just like they refuse to get a passport, NEXUS, or EDL?
Michigan has Enhanced Driver's Licences for the Michigan/Canadian borders too.
Sunny Wu Absolutely NOT!!!! That makes way to much sense... C YA
No. Americans are addicted to using fingerprints for EVERYTHING (banking, going to Disney, getting mortgages, going to work, etc, etc). In Canada, the only time you get fingerprinted is when you're arrested.
I actually asked around and I have only ever found two co-workers who have used their fingerprints for anything else, and both worked at terrible minimum wage jobs that required fingerprints. I've also worked at terrible minimum wage jobs, but never had that happen, so, like most Canadians, my experience is fingerprints == jail.
shepd3 What are you babbling about ?American here.... I've never been fingerprinted at a bank or at work or for my mortgage. Haven't been fingerprinted at all in this century, in fact. I doubt I'd be fingerprinted at Disney but I don't know. I don't go there. I'm not 8.
In sault ste marie the americans have a fleet of border patrol suvs that patrol the town, its insane the amount if money they waste.
Ya but you sit on the Canadian side and laugh at them.
There border is for keeping them well put where they are. .
+Rob W. They are not wasting money because they print dollars whenever they need them.
Rob W. 🍻
So stupid get together Canada/USA and move the border to one side or the other so these people can live normally. I am American but I absolutely adore Canadian people, everyone one of them I have met are wonderful and I am glad they are my neighbors : ).
I agree all that has to be worked out is who Canada/US let in from other sources, but anyone with a Canadian/US driver license should be able to move about freely ; )
That’s sounds great, one problem. Canada is letting in everyday illegals.
Terrorists fear on the Americans side, but no one fears Terrorism on the American side like the white privilege !!!! Why Blacks and people of color don't fear terrorists ??? Oh My bad they deal with Terror Daily,, Cops & The Justice System in America
As an Australian growing up in the 60's I felt a little deprived having no international borders to cross, that concept always seemed kind of exciting. But not any more.
🤣 I would make a point to cross any major bridges in whatever city I visited, so it was super frustrating when I couldn’t go on the blue bridge when I was in Port Huron Michigan.
Canada and the us are really good allies so why cant they just do the thing the EU do were you can cross the border freely
Major Victory you elected jihad justin
The EU is a a complete failure. Frankly, I don't trust canada's far-left regime either.
Major Victory to many morons in office on the U S side!!!
Major Victory because Trump and the rest of the US apparently have a stick up there ass
Major Victory i totally agree what u said absolutely you r 110 %right we are next door behind
0:58 How to decide those two houses (one at back) origin nation?
It's a real shame they've had to close these type of roads.
This discussion is silly beause there is NO US CANADIAN BORDER!!
As a former upstate New Yorker who lives in Southern California I know the difference between "going to Canada", and crossing a real border.into Mexico.
Harassing people in a small town is pointless. We need an open border system like the "Schengen System" which encompasses most of western Europe.
For a terrorist enter Canada is entering the US, and vice versa.
The real border control needs to done at US and Canadian airports.
Yeah, I agree
The original comment was over 3 years ago. A lot has changed since.
It surely has... The schengen system is particularly disabled, because of the refugees, Trump wants a wall,....
A lot has changed, but I think his idea would still make sense
Roadmaster '93 His idea is stupid. People who are determined to enter will enter anyway they can. Ever heard of the tunnels? Oh yeah people can overstay Visas as well. His stupid wall does nothing. It's a symbol of Xenophobia.
The same at the New South Wales - Queensland town of Mungindi (pr. mung-in-die) where the border between our two Australian states is the main street of the town, so when NSW is on Daylight Savings time and Queensland is not and the NSW pubs close, the Queensland pub on the other side of the street is still open, so the locals just walk across the street and continue drinking for an extra hour.
People of Vermont:"I'll be over in Canada, watching show at the opera house."
United States of Paranoia
We worried you dump trash here.
Like the Philippines Canada polluted the world
Well, I think that you guys have a very good relationship.
Canada should get the town because Canada owns more of it
how do passports work for this if you want to see your across the street neighbor
Lets arrest the easy targets.
The difficult ones might hurt us.
Very well said
I feel as though, it’s easy in some areas to end up crossing over to Canada or the US if you’re in the wilderness. I’m sure lots of people have done it.
Good luck with that knowing will their are sensors and cameras and other technology that you don't know about,you cam get caught easily even with out the wall being there.
Why not to put mine field along the border?
What happens when I walk with a beer in my hand over the street? :D
Why don't we just give it to Canada. Any U.S. Citizens wishing to leave can do so and Canada will buy the houses for the exact amount they are worth.
Pretty sure no Canadian wants to illegally move to the US lol
What do you do if you want to talk to your neighbor across the street?
How can we fix this?
The whole town should be a DMZ
lol dmz is my gt on xbox wtf?!!! lol
_ Quinzy _ dmz is de militaryized zone. There is a dmz on the border of North and South Korea.
If half of your house is in Canada and the other in U.S. Do you pay taxes , to both countries?
2nd Amendment freedom in one half, draconian gun control laws in the other.
herrbrained Crippling debt from a trip to the hospital in one half, progressive universal healthcare and low murder rates in the other.
herrbrained 2n ammendement and freedon or 2n ammendement feedom ?
Vincent Snyder Apparently you don't live in Canada.
you get free healthcare in Canada so make sure your front door is facing Canada dude
What if you fall in love with a girl across the street!!! Babe let's have dinner tonight and don't forget to bring your passport😂😂😂
Does the white line she is standing on at 1:10 belong to Canada or USA?
We haven't been across the street in several months. lol

Terrorism? From Canada? Come on now, so if I was playing ball on the US side and the ball goes across the street to Canada, I coukd either have my passport while I play a game, or get arrested for just getting it back
Some people have those hoops, that are facing the street, well, I'm just hypothetically speaking, you know
"Bye mom, I'm going to to buy milk across the country."
Can you cross from CAN to US without a passport?
Sounds simple to me. Have a Canadian Customs station immediately north or town. Have a US Customs Station immediately south of town. While you're in the town, you go where you want. You want to leave, you'd better have a passport. At least if you are leaving southbound. Don't know how the Canadians feel about people coming into their country, but whether they require passports or not is their business.
thats what i was thinking as well
so a Canadian relative visiting their Canadian cousins in this town need a passport?
Easier to give local residents a special permit.
Canada does not require a passport to enter. The US requires it. Although I don't see anyone ever try to enter Canada without a passport (After all, they left with one), that isn't the law in Canada. Of course, if you're an American, you may need one (there's some exceptions). And if you're from anywhere else, you will absolutely have to have one.
Why doesn't one country or the other absorb the town into itself. Oh, wait! That makes too much sense...
And which country will that be? Also how do they decide. I mean the people of the town aren't going to agree one way or another, Neither is seriously going to want to change their Citizenship and lives. The countries aren't going to agree either. Also regardless of what decision they would make, the people of the city would be angry.
***** That is in a sense the way it use to be and both Countries split the taxes and what not. With the situation now one country would have to say they want to completely give up their half and the other would gain everything. Neither country is willing to give away. Canada is going to look at the US and say that it is their problem since they want to raise all the security and that they should give it away. Where the USA is going to say is the reason the security was raised is because Canada has failed to do their part and keep out illegal citizens and terrorist from using Canada as a gateway into the US so they should have to give up the town.
As far as doing it like the JSA in Korea, I don't think it would work. Yes people are free to pass through the boarder in that are as they wish, but it is still very restricted. They have a curfew and they typically aren't allowed to interact with those from the North. Also you would have to very highly restrict access from those that are up there to visit. Both sides would have to clear customs if they ever wanted to leave the town too. Also I think it would cause a problem with taxes and citizenship.
So the people living there don't have a say? Oh wait you voted Tyrant Trump.

Dinocraftman009 "i dont care if youre a fascist" are you fucking kidding me
How do they get along with the French and English communication problem?
How about that house on one of the island at Kingston Thousand Island on Lake Ontario ? One side of the small bridge is Canada and the other side is the USA !
1:19 United States 666 WTF!!!!
Says the person who can't spell.
Canada dislikes us habits confirmed. Milk in bags only
Children of a common mother have a border with so much security? If there is a European Union of over 25 nations all with cultures and histories which span millennia vs centuries can have open borders it is sad to see Canada and the US have this. Seriously even without the EU as a incentive to open the border, just the gain of money that it costs to patrol the 49h parallel and for it to be put into much better use like healthcare or the ailing education system, is incentive enough.
Yeah, the EU model is a complete success! *cough* Brexit *cough*
European Union has open borders. Look at what’s going on in Europe. Soon your gonna he learning Arabic as a FIRST language.
The problem with European and its Open borders bringing Muslims in is that you can have open borders between nations without massive amounts of Muslims getting in if you don't invite them in the first place.
how do u drive home on that road?... does one lane serve as a two-way street?... lol serious question though
@rockinwithlarson i was looking at a home there. split in half by the border. i know this sounds like a silly question, but would i have to have 2 passports? lol
“When the US sends it’s people they’re not sending their best...believe me” #MCGA build the ICE Wall
Stupidity, bureaucrats gone mad, if terrorist wanted to go across the border they find an easy way, but public servants can not think logical
Do they use Canadian or U.S. dollars? Both? What if your house is on the border? Do you pay U.S. taxes or Canadian taxes? I have a headache now.
2018?
1:19 United States 666 hahaha
That is vandalism. The criminal who did that has some nerve to call anyone a devil.
Perhaps he should look in a mirror.
Nah bro it's cool
Patrick Robinson What if the cameraman write that number on that thing?
It would still be vandalism and thus - a crime.
Pfft. America's shit hole country anyway. I'd never go there. The Canadians should be building a wall protecting themselves from them.
When does the insanity stop?
When we get rid of liberals who question borders and border control.
@sheru7mera7naam007 theres another guy in stanstead, whose house is in quebec but alot of his back yard and pool is in the us. ive seen more pools in canada and northern us than anywhere else .
imagine being like "Hey wanna hang out after school" then the person says "sure i live in america across the street"
Anyone notice the 666?
Am The Scout can't say I did but 666 is a bit satanic
Space Daddy yeah some jackass vandalized the border post.
While yes we don't have to worry about people in Canada committing acts of violence on the U.S side or visa versa, that does not mean a terrorist could not use this small peaceful town as means to gain access. Please have an open mind here I am not preaching fear or being paranoid, but it just takes that one man with a major explosive to do the U.S people or Canadian people harm, and what better way to get into the U.S or Canada.. a Small quiet town where nobody suspects anything, to me seems pointless to have boarder patrol anywhere if this place has been open the way has for so many ears....
it is all about to be afraided
and what happens if you happen to have friends on the other side of the street are they going to stop you talking to them and also what happens if u happen to have a girlfriend on that side of the street and was also wandering what happens to people who are from the states and live on that side of the street they carnt kick them out can they
I am not talking about kicking people out. Just like when I visit my friends in Canada I go through a boarder crossing this should be no different that's all I am saying.
Bewr Wadf
First going in a conversation with an attitude like yours you never going to get people to agree with you. Second yes my life has been affected by a terrorist . But its not really about that its other things as well, I won't waste my time explain them to you, judging by how you speak, you either seek attention, or simply have limited conversational skills., so I won't waste my time here. I am not sure it is even wise for me to ask this to you as I don't think your response back to me to the question or to this reply will be intelligent enough for me to care, but I will ask any ways. What exactly are you saying here? do you think we should have open national boarders, don't just think about Canada think about the entire world here.
All of the terrorists that ever got to the US crossed the borders legally. If you wanna take your argument serious you'd have people checking IDs between NY and NJ. That'd mean a police state and the end of America as we know it. Closed borders prevent peaceful cooperation between peoples. We have a lot to lose by closing them, just like we have a lot to lose by not trading with other people.
I'm from the US and this makes me sick. Canadians are family and I wish that we could bring back the easy going borders.
I find it funny that on one side of the street an 18 year old can get drunk, but on the other side you need to be 21.
See what happen when you european decendent makes border
damn government ruining lives.
it depends if they feel like learning it, and vice versa
Indeed very interesting. Would be nice to live there. One minute I am in the US and a few seconds later I am in Canada. How cool is that.
Put up the fence to keep the Americans out, They keep throwing beer cans in our lake and we don't like littering

Speak English.
David Okanagan Quebec is known to be the only province of Canada that speaks French,so if you go their for a vacation or a job you better know how to speak french or everybodys going to see you as fucking weird and you generally cant get anywhere in quebec without speaking French
Just cuz u speak English doesn't mean others have too
Racist

I remember years ago «40» lol
We used to go to Plattsburgh, we used to go through the border with just a wave of the hand, patrol just looked at our Québec plates no questions asked.
Times have changed, i wonder why ;(
Created by the USA
@sheru7mera7naam007 yeah ill have to find it. the kitchen, and main bath. were in quebec. ( and one bedroom) while bedrooms 2 and3, and hte LR and den were in derby
its sad but necessary! we are feeling the same tensions building in Europe! but terrorism is no respector of tradition or peaceful cohabitation, and small, unpoliced crossings are just the place to infiltrate! i hope the communities survive this necessary imposition...its now up to the communities to make it work!
wouldn't it be better to just consider the town as part of Canada, and draw the enforced border south of the town?
Technically they can get on US soil, but it would be minuscule.
how about checking ID's when leaving the city either side instead?
I love how we Americans get criticized for wanting our borders to be safe and not wanting illegal immigration but for Canada it’s perfectly ok
canada is lucky not to share a border with mexico lol
How about foreigners?
do they need to stamp every time they cross?
The American was in my left ear the Canadian in my right😂😂
@sbc2k1 Why?

In the U.S. there are two different types of passports, the "passport book" and the "passport card." The passport book is your typical U.S. passport with pages for visas. The passport card looks like a driver's license. If you travel by land or boat to/from Canada one may use the passport card. If you travel by air to/from Canada you must use the passport book. But a U.S. citizen must have a passport of some kind to enter the U.S. or Canada. The passport card is cheaper than the passport book.
@conja32 Oh I did. Is this really the boarder between Haven and Hell?
so why don't they adjust the border line so that it doesn't cut through a building?
ive never had this trouble. living on australia and not having other countries physically connected is awesome and im shocked how little security nation borders have. its sad.
pass port only if you fly into Canada. One can use either a passport OR enhanced id
Why did they cross from USA to Canada? 0:57
As long as they stay on THAT sidewalk, they can enter and leave the Library building.
The American lady in the library said she hasn't crossed the border yet I'm quite sure she was standing on the Canadian side of the library
Saul Goodman advised her to say that
It should be that you only have to show your citizenship to be able to cross from Canada to the US....
Wtf listen to this while wearing earphones. I’m going crazy
I am an American that lived in St.Clair and Lorretvile Quebec Canada. I have crossed at that border . It would be an act of prejudice to enforce the borders only for Mexico . The rules enforced may be inconvenient but as with any laws must be observed by all.
Why should they?
