Dual Citizens
One of our cross-border events in Minnesota is the Winnipeg Folk Festival, held for more than 40 years in Birds Hill Park, just northeast of Winnipeg. This festival attracts people from all over the state of Minnesota because of the beautiful venue and the variety of music. People have been going for many years. Now, long hairs crossing the border have their cars torn apart on a regular basis by the U.S. cops, because there is nothing closer to a terrorist than a hippie. Trust me, BC Bud does not need to be run through a car crossing. I think perhaps 'terrorism' is only an excuse.
Here in Minnesota we think of ourselves as 'near' Canadians. And it is true, we are closer sociologically and politically to Manitoba than Texas. Perhaps we can join with Canada and move the border south, lets say right around Vicksburg. Secede from Texas!
