    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…

        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.

        Though it should be noted the two counties that voted for Trump are on the northern border.
