Point Roberts is a slow and sleepy peninsula owned by the United States , which one can only access, by land, by driving through Canada .
It juts south into the U.S. waters of the Salish Sea , dotted with acreages, forest lots, blackberry bushes, and a marina that has seen better days.
The roughly 1,000 residents, half of whom are dual citizens of Canada , don’t want the place to become even slower and sleepier.
A lot of things would be easier if Point Roberts was part of Canada , say some residents.
Many U.S. citizens already pay privately for medical care in nearby Tsawwassen , rather than head over to the Peace Arch border crossing into Washington State .
The roughly 14 students in Point Roberts who are in Grade 3 to Grade 12 would no longer have to get bused to Blaine , where they’re currently required to travel almost 100 kilometres each day.
