City of Delta installed fence for a short distance near English Bluff Road to keep people from wandering across the border
Canada and the U.S. have long had an undefended border so local Coun. Daniel Boisvert doesn’t want the City of Delta to be the first to break that tradition.
“My main objection is what it symbolizes. Canada and the United States have been friends for 150 years, give or take. We trust each other. That’s why we have this wonderful, undefended border,” Boisvert said Wednesday. He doesn’t want Delta to be the first to put up a barrier between two countries. That’s how things start, he said. The fence was installed by the City of Delta on Jan. 16, following a review of a November 2023 incident when a senior walked from Tsawwassen into Point Roberts. He was found dead a few days later.
Boisvert said that the construction of the fence is a coincidence given current Canada-U.S. relations.
