Such a stupid border decision. They should have fixed it in the territory swaps a few years ago.

What territory swaps a few years ago?

It's also too late now, even if you come to a political agreement you'd have to buy them out, have to hear about unseating American families, and I doubt Canada is willing to do that. What's the point for that insignificant land?

A while ago (late 90s?) they straightened the border and reevaluated land along the 49th parallel. Some towns switched countries.
