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.

For more than a century, Canadians in Stanstead, Quebec, could walk through a door in the Haskell Free Library into Derby Line, Vermont, without passing through customs.

But U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has canceled the arrangement, citing the need to counter “illicit cross-border activities.”

Standing on the black line inside the library that demarcates the US-Canada border, Sylvie Boudreau, Haskell’s board of trustees president, said the Trump administration’s announcement caused “a lot of anger on both sides.”

“It’s the end of something,” she told AFP.

As a result of the U.S. action, a new entrance is being constructed on the side of the building to give Canadians access to the library.

11. He's going to close the border. BC is advertising on the West Coast for nurses, MDs.

And we’re taking them up on that in growing numbers. It looks very much like I will end up doing the same when I have things in order. Hopefully I can make it before he walls us in.

If need be, thank gawd I can get there on an ATV if there are no other options.
