Summary

The U.S. government has ordered the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, which straddles the U.S.-Canada border, to end Canadian access through its Vermont entrance due to drug trafficking concerns.

Starting Oct. 1, Canadians must use a new entrance on the Canadian side, costing the library over 100,000 CAD to build.

Locals on both sides express frustration at ending the century-old tradition.

The library, a nonprofit since 1901, launched a fundraising campaign, raising more than half the needed funds through small community donations.

    look, Canada, if you wanna, y’know, take care of things, y’know, we’d really appreciate it. This demented rapsit is nothing but human sewage washing over everything.

    I mean - who knew?!

      How could anyone know that a guy that was convicted of 34 counts of fraud was lying to people?
