Of the thousands of books tucked into the library’s stacks, one author has emerged as a patron favourite: Louise Penny, the bestselling Canadian novelist and creator of the detective Armand Gamache. … Penny made headlines in recent weeks after donating C$50,000 (US$36,000) to help fund a new entrance to the library, an “elegant” solution to the diplomatic snafu created in wake of new restrictions. “I have the resources to help because of the support of American and Canadian readers. The least I could do is give back,” Penny said. “Plus, it’s like giving the finger to the current administration: you close one door, we will open another one.”
This is exactly what I would do - make sure there is an accessible entrance on the Canadian side. Make it so that if the US really wants to be difficult, they have to put up a wall down the middle of the library.
This is just going to be Berlin all over again isn’t it?
So it’ll just be the border library then?
They’re going to rename it as Library of America.
Not after they start taking offence to the books contained within.
Or the border
Does any power or water or sewage systems come from the Canadian side? If so, they should be cut off. Not to mention, a fence should be constructed inside to block off American illegals from crossing into Canada. Even better, put a border check point there.
If they want to go stupid, we can go full stupid.
It would be a much better political statement to not ruin a library. Destroying a library is a bad look. For example, this article.
The library will already be ruined. A large part of it is in Canada and is now blocked to Canadians.
There is no reason to do that beyond the people running the US are petty liars and shit-heads.
Yes because Trump supporters are the ones using the library…
That sounds retarded, and a waste of time, and resources. Plus, most people in Vermont voted Harris.
There have been stupider border disputes between Canada and the US.
Frankly, I think symbolism is useful here. If the Americans are going to play stupid games then I’m fine with a little pageantry to draw attention to those stupid games.
Did you miss the part where I called it stupid?
Of course it’s stupid, that’s the point. Ya gotta send a message in a language the idiots (MAGA) understand.
Though it should be noted the two counties that voted for Trump are on the northern border.
Eventually, a Berlin-style wall, with ICE agents gunning down any citizens disloyal enough to try to escape to Canada.
