March 21, 2025CBC News reports that the U.S. government is limiting Canadian access to the main entrance of the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, a heritage site in Stanstead, Quebec that straddles the border between the two countries. Starting in October, Canadians will need to go through a formal port of entry to access the library from the U.S. side, with officials citing a rise in “illicit cross-border activity.” Local leaders and residents are pushing back, saying the decision undermines over a century of peaceful cooperation and shared community between the countries.

BBC reports that the U.S. government will close a 9-mile road that connects Montana and Alberta, Canada, on July 1, 2026. The administration cited a rise in irregular migration and drug smuggling as reasoning. The road is maintained by Alberta's Warner County and has been freely accessed by both Canadians and Americans since the 1940s.
