Said house, which is occupied, is on the Quebec border with either New
York or Vermont. The back of the house is in one country and the other
side in the other.
Here in greater Vancouver, "0 Avenue" runs parallel to the US border for
several miles.On one side are upper scale detached houses with sidewalk
["footpath" as it's known in the UK] and what would be the sidewalk on
the other side of the two lane avenue is a shallow ditch the centre of
which is the US/Canadian border beyond which is open space quite
suitable for walking, exercising one's pets, etc. The US has indicated
recently that it intends to start laying motion detectors, spy cameras,
and such like all along the border to keep a track of its citizens who
might wish to enter Canada illegally. Considering that tobacco, alcohol,
groceries, OM cameras, and gasolene are about twice the price on our
side of the border I have a hard time figuring why the US would want to
install border detection devices.
