United States restricts Canadian access to Alberta 'Border Road'

For generations, it has been a symbol of the close relationship between residents of Warner County, on the Canadian side of the border, and their friends and relatives in Toole County, on the American side. Officially located in Montana, Border Road, which parallels the international border, also provides farmers, ranchers and others in Alberta with an easy way to access their properties, rather than make the 15-minute drive it takes to get to the official border crossing at Coutts and Sweetgrass. But starting next July that’s going to change, and area residents will need to cross the border just like everyone else. The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has decided to restrict Canadians from using the road. Its goal is to strengthen borders and stopping the flow of drugs and contraband into both countries.
