I enjoy when the news actually covers the news.
@Brian Lawl
Canadians for Trump
lol burn
I mean, this is literally a Minnesota-based news channel, they cover the biggest stories in Minnesota, this is it.
@@supremeleaderarmy9164 Trump is a loser. Losers for trump.
Excellent example of how common folks can organize to get things done when their governments fail them intentionally or otherwise.
They’re lucky the government hasn’t tried to stop them
It’s funny how you think common folks haven’t been getting things done since the beginning and government fails and ruins everything it touches. EVERYTHING!! If they took the budget they spent on low income families and paid the low income families they’d be rich. Most the damn money goes to overheard. I don’t know how else to say this. Ronald regain once said the scar doesn’t words are, “we’re from the government, and we’re here to help”.
Why do you expect that the government is to do everything for you?
Democrats just rely on everything from the government
You vegetables are the lowest form of life.
This is truly the most Minnesotan thing I've seen
Heck ya!! If it ain't -40° u ain't living!! This life ain't for the weak!!!
Taken right out of the pages of ice road truckers.
The cities is a criminal infestation
Indeed, we drove it last weekend and it ranks among the best Minnesota experience ever. Like a dream....A "once in a lifetime" for sure!
Then you've never seen a man eat canned Hormel chili with a stick and wash it down with black velvet, while ice fishing in a pop-up shelter at -40°
If that's not Minnesotan then I don't know what is.
Easy fix. Put an Amazon warehouse up there and travel will be "essential" overnight.
Funny how that works!

@@carefulcarpenter Fortunately, the A.I. has difficulty with sarcasm. ;)
If the pandemic taught people anything it's not to rely on the government.
You got that right!
You mean Dem-panic?
That's for sure!
Up there they don’t. They make their own rules, knowing this cause I go there multiple times each year. Nobody expects anything from anyone, everyone just pitches in and it’s probably the most friendly place in the country.
@@joshwagner5414 I like it when a place is like that.
Next: Northwest angle citizens build an airport
On the frozen lake.
...that would be cool. But what they really need is a large 50 Ton Capacity Hovercraft, like the ones used by Russia, the U.S., and France 🤘 The kind used to move tanks, supplies and artillery.
They are gonna have to if they want to keep thier businesses open.
They've got an airfield, just a single grass strip, but they could move all their supplies in as well as customers...
That's not a road, that is a god damn runway!
Why is it plowed so wide? I can understand that snow drifting a bit may reduce the width. But, that looks like an eight lane highway!?
@@benjamingamble2407 Good question. I was just on it the entire distance. They plow it super wide to maintain the thickness and overall integrity of the ice sheet. If it is too narrow, it won't last nearly as long. The ice near the edges is sketchy on warmer days. (Slushy and risky) The ice in the middle remains thick and strong. If it was narrow, it would get "boxed in" by snow and slush and become super dangerous faster. Hope that somewhat answers your question.
@@benjamingamble2407 It has to be wide so the cold air can make good ice. Up north further, where we take big trucks across the ice, the roads are twice as wide as that on the lake and sometimes they flood the road with water to make the ice thicker.
@@lancea1470 Thanks, Larry. That makes sense, snow is a good insulator.
@@ChuckBeefOG Thanks, Chuck
We just drove up the ice road last weekend. We set the trip odometer to 0 upon getting on the ice and when we returned we had cruised over 100 miles. Very fun! Totally worth it. You need to pay $145.00 to get a pass. The folks up there deserve to get paid for how hard it was to create this experience.
I can't believe it took the Americans that long to figure out the ice-road idea. We've been doing these for years in Canada.
15 days to flatten the curve.
Thank God! The hordes of tourists who want to visit Northern Minnesota in February will now be able to do so!
Just did the entire route and it was worth every penny of the $145.00 two way pass. Very exciting and dreamy drive!
@@lancea1470 - speed limits? 😉
@@dericksmith2137 25 mph max. Because higher speeds create waves and crack the ice. This is a problem they were actually having. No cops to enforce it. I would actually stop from time to time. Just to settle and enjoy the view. Then go again.
@@dericksmith2137 25 mph max, because it breaks up the ice road when people go really fast. 25 mph means a very nice smooth and safe ride and one where you can see dangers coming.
Need to think about a ferry across the lake this spring.
That’s what I thought
you ever been out there? Its worth a shot but thats a very long trip and could only be done during good weather, that lake acts like an ocean...
@@TripleAstyle1 Yes I have. Many people run large boats across the lake already. A ferry is feasible. As for mini-ocean? It's big, but it's not Lake Superior.
A hovercraft ferry might be useful as it can go on ice and water. Hovercraft ferries are also fast.
Not much for a car to do up there tho, everything a person would ever need access to is along the lake. They use barges to move the big stuff around
Fun fact - 119 Americans from mainland USA live above the 49 parallel
- 20 million Canadians live below the 49 parallel
Alaska
I live in Ontario, above Minnesota and below the 49th parallel.
@@user-jc2ez6ig5z Even counting Alaska (which is not being counted as part of "mainland USA"), that's still less than 750k of American's population north of the 49th parallel, or less than 4% of Canada's population below the 49th parallel.
@@user-jc2ez6ig5z i think he probably meant to say contiguous US instead of mainland US.
What a beautiful story! ♥️♥️♥️God bless that plow driver!
Just like point Roberts on the Washington - BC border, cut off and no help from the government there too.
Being a Minnesotan myself I totally get this.
That's weird. Americans were allowed to travel through Western Canada if they were heading on to Alaska (a number took advantage of the loophole and were ticketed for staying too long in Banff and Jasper). Seems strange there was no such accomodation for these folks.
were they allowed through Canada to go on holiday to Alaska? Because that's what the ice road is for. Residents of NWA are allowed to use the normal road for shopping etc.
Canada's border with Minnesota is more secure than our border with Mexico.
And it weighs heavy on every Canadian's mind.
In Minnesota it’s a lot of lakes, and then a clearing in the woods with cement markers. And I think it’s that way for most of the border
stable nations tend to have stable borders. instability brings insecurity, especially on a national level.
also, a sincere "please" is enough to disarm most Canadian law enforcement officers. 🤷♂️ Ever played Canadian Sorry? ....its not even a game...its just a regular conversation up there. "sorry." "no, I'm sorry" "I'm sorry you feel sorry for no reason"
.......all facts. I saw it all on this documentary hosted by this kid with cancer. "caillou", i think its called. very enlightening.
@@BKT42 a lot of Canadians really miss all of that American business tho
@@joshwagner5414
We do, BIGLY
The city of Bayfield, Wisconsin does the same thing so people can get to Madeline Island on Lake Superior. It is a great way to keep people moving all winter long. Glad they were able to get a road build in the NWA.
Is that on CZcams?
@@nickhill8612 there are several videos on CZcams showcasing the ice Road in Bayfield Wisconsin.
We do what we gotta do in Minnesota!
I was going to say something similar! Here in Minnesota especially here in northern Minnesota we have learned to adapt and survive! It doesn’t surprise me at all😊
@@CharityS-Minnesota indeed, we have to adapt here to these crazy cold seasons.
Minnesota strong!!
Waltz is trying his best to censor that comment
Much respect, from Texas! As long as you got some heat for me ...I learned.
When the lake thaws... time to find a ferry boat.
this is good stuff love to be a plow guy
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Just like Campobello Island in New Brunswick. Cut off from the rest of Canada. No year round ferry service and no ice roads.
and Point Roberts in BC are Americans living in Canada.
Man just sell the NW Angle to Canada and be done with issues like this that shouldn't even exist.
And as a bonus, it can kill the phrase, "How are you going to pay for it?"
I don’t know if sink or swim is the right analogy for a guy using an ice road.
Lol, yeah, kinda sent a chill up my spine.
$500 sounds like a deal for 22 miles x 2 all year. I pay around $120 a year for VA tolls
The ice road from Angle Inlet to Warroad has been plowed
in the past. But not because of a virus. It's much faster than through
Manitoba to the highway, down to US and then east. There
are no towns along the way, if I remember correctly. About two hours
Sad thing is.....her statement "Everybody will have to hang on a little bit longer".
That's not true. Write it down. Canada WILL NOT open for Americans this summer again (2021). It won't happen. Lodges in Ontario will die. At least these folks can bring in people by boat.
The lodges that depend on American tourists maybe... plenty of folks up here will take up the space...how does it feel having your country run by an elitist, out of touch with the working class people??
Corrupt elections gave Trudeau his seat in office and so to for Joe (the hurting has just begun for America) should have fought for Trump
The election is over, they got what they wanted they'll open America up as soon as the media has to admit that Biden and no amount of lockdown can't stop the Chinese sniffles.
@@howard7689 ya the Chinese sniffles that frickin kills!!!
@@rewadena4371 Kills at a lower rate than the flu...Oh wait, the flu doesn't exist anymore now that Biden is in. AND, doesn't the vaccine allow you to go back to your normal life??? No? Then why get it??
@@ostreds ya I'm not sure.. I've been living a normal Life and never got it. Been at a few bars, snowmobile racing, restaurants.
It is not our fault who drew the border made this mistake.
On my way to lake of the woods right now, time to do some fishing
Next: government shuts down the ice road because they can’t find an effective way to tax it.
Yeah it would be rough living in border communities like Angle Minnesota or Point Roberts for that matter. Still no telling if or when the canadian border will reopen again. You know, I wonder if the US government and Canadian government could just make Angle a part of Canada. For residents living in Angle, they could be given dual citizenship. They could probably make Angle a part of Ontario. If people need to into the city, they could probably go to Winnepeg instead of Minneapolis in the meantime. Point Roberts could probably become a part of British Columbia too (residents there could be given dual citizenship). Not sure if that idea would work, but assuming the covid stuff isn't going be going away anytime soon, that could be an option. Alternatively, the government probably should do more to offer assistance to those communities.
Canada can have Angle if they'll take California too. Deal?
@@FINfinFINfinFINfin Naw lets Give Nazifornia to Mexico...its already populated with them anyway...
In 1997, there was talk about Northwest Angle seceding to Canada but it never ended up happening. If it were ever to happen, it would most probably join Manitoba as that is the province it is physically attached to.
Why not boat people in the summer ? Going through customs is a hassle anyway.
Still have to stop at customs and check in or get massive penalties for illegal entry
You wouldn’t be using the boat in Canadianwaters lil guy
@@ROOKTABULA Not if you go by boat and you're a US citizen.
@@757-David Its not Canadian waters. That was the whole point of the ice road little man.
@@driftlesshermit9731 I know lil guy, that is what I wrote ,this guy lmao
Always wondered about that place. I drive by it all the time when I used to cross the border at Warroad, MN.
Yup we have to do this alot in northern Canada I'm surprised you took the long way around for so long we also use drone delivery and drones to transport stuff back and forth to save money.
Running out of ideas I live in northern Canada and I don't see anyone delivering stuff with drones?
@@nothing2see315 the company is called drone delivery Canada they also have a stock you can buy.
@@nothing2see315 they are busy delivering medical supplies and other goods to communitys that need it like native community's they said they would deliver your coffee once there done maybe...
I will see you guys on February 27th. Got a reservation for one week.
so how is it?
@@paddington1670 You seriously can't believe everything you read online. Some people like to make stuff up to get attention.
Makes me thankful I’ve lived in and around Minneapolis.
Thankful to live in slums living on scraps of society?
Don’t act like the USA side isn’t closed as well.
The south side sure isn't closed.
Yeah we definitely didn’t only choose to close it
It isn’t, Canadians can enter by air right now, although not by land
Minnesotan... especially us up in Northern Minnesota are a hardy bunch, used to adapting and surviving!!
I was wondering how they were doing up there. An ice highway is the perfect thing to do!
20 inches of ice is plenty 😊
How will you adapt when the Liberals take over your state and wage war on the white people?
OH WAIT ✋ That's happened already
@@supporterofeverythingyouli6255 I think you mean to try to divide the people of Minnesota with your comment. You probably should use the word Leftist, instead of Liberal, that will get people going. Minnesota does have a Democrat for a Governor, the 2 Federal Senators are Democrats, and of the eight Federal Representatives, 4 are Republicans and 4 are Democrats.
In Minnesota, unless there is rioting in the largest city, we pretty much have to unite against the common enemy, which is cold and snow in the winter and mosquitoes in the summer.
@@ronaldlindeman6136 My comment is a question, and it is a question of a post divided Minnesota. I'm not Donald Trump you can't blame me for dividing Minnesota with a comment on the internet 7 mo later. Nice try though, and I see who you are now.
@@supporterofeverythingyouli6255 Ha, ha. Good one. So exactly how is it that Liberals are going to be waging war on white people? Just a question. And you know what you are.

maybe so, as long as its outside of the cities (little somalia)
They need to get a ferry going in the summer time.
motors in the BWCA are only allowed in certain areas and are often restricted to 9.9 hp.
@@DustonDiekmann lake of the woods isn’t in the BWCA. So those restrictions wouldn’t apply. Don’t know if there are any regulations on boundary waters in general, but the canoe area rules don’t apply.
The waves in the summertime can be terrifying on Lake of the Woods. (Experience talking here. :-) The size of the ferry would have to be big and costly. The resort owners currently don't have a boat that could safely handle that.
This is where bureaucracy is really f’n stupid!!!
You think it's stupid for Canada to close its border to keep Americans out but I bet you complain about traffic through the Mexican border. Hypocrite.
@@thorr18BEM put the booze or weed down bro. You’ve missed the point entirely.
End the PUSSIFICATION of America. We were explorers. We were pioneers. At one time, we turned adversity into opportunities. Now, we curl into the fetal position and cry for mommy when things get slightly difficult. This ice road plowman has that pioneer spirit. He won't be kept down by an invasive and overreaching government. America needs more more men and women just like this
I’m a Canadian think the Canadian government allow the people that live there to drive across the border and directly to their cabins just cannot stop that would be common sense don’t you think
I clicked on this and was not expecting to hear my first name as their last name! I also live in Minnesota, and this is such a Minnesotan thing to do. Never underestimate an American 🇺🇸
So in the spring he’ll organize a flotilla of boats to ferry people and supplies?
Awsome... American ingenuity!
Funny how they report that Canada closed it's border.....so did the US to those of us on the north side of it.
Lmao. Oh come on, the point isn’t to present facts. There was 1 point to be made here. BLAME CANADA.
Lol sitting in Manitoba Canada laughing at how stupid this story is.
The lodge owners didn’t get a single customer? But they also didn’t get COVID. Bloody morons.
@@dericksmith2137
You’re awful.
Ice roads are pretty common in Estonia for example.
These kinds of ice roads are normal, yearly things for northern Canada. Nothing new to us.
A yearly thing on the Canadian side of the lake. We have ice roads going all over the lake
NW Angle, you need a commuter airport as small as you can make it (I would guess that there is a community or club of flying folks that would assist? to have the airport located at the northernmost point of the 48...)...Just a thought
Not gonna lie, I miss Mn. I live in Ky now
Imagine driving for 30-45 minutes over a frozen lake.
Never would I drive on a frozen lake
Happens on rivers in Alaska.
I've done it
Just did it last weekend. Set the odometer to 0 at shore and clocked in over 100 miles upon return. (We drove around other ice roads around the NWA islands. They plowed a LOT up there.) It was like a dream and very fun!
@@EbkHunter Yeah, it is more fun to race on a frozen like.
Damn canooks breathing all the American mans air.
If that was wilfully stupid: Congrats!

@@youtubecensorseverythingIsay
Toronto has pretty filthy air. So do other large Canadian cities. Also the pollutants drift over the border.

Has no one here ever heard of an ice road? I'm confused why this is news.
It was never needed for residents in the Angle before, but with the Canadian border closed, this provides a direct route to the area without having to cross the border.
This a totally new experience for us Minnesotans as it is super duper long. We drove it last weekend and it was absolutely amazing.
hopefully they keep it up every year now, its really common in northern canadian prairies and north
Because canada has gone communist, concentration camps and all. We gotta look out for our own
@@ToastytheG please don't engage with others outside your angry alabama trailer park echo chamber.
they should buy one of those tour boats you see in canal systems and basically ferry their customers into the city this would allow them year round access to cottages and also bring in customers and food or what ever else they need without having to go through CANADA just a thought
Why are there curves in the road? Why not straight?
It is cold, 60F here in Florida. Most bars and restaurants are open with reduced seating.
60F is not cold, that's windbreaker weather (or even no coat at all) in the grain belt, never mind points further north...
@@xheralt Norway was colder.
@@TheDustysix Lots of places were colder, what's your point?
@@xheralt All bars and restaurants allowed to open.
@@TheDustysix So what? Restaurants in FL should not be closed simply for 60F temperatures, ever. Maybe closed (or at reduced capacity, or for carryout only) because of the pandemic, but not the temperature.
Perhaps they should just correct the error of a couple of drunk surveyors and give the Angle back to Canada...
Not until they take back that drunk Justin Bieber!
@@markjensen663 - stake ‘the beebs’ out on that ice road. When it melts- problem solved for both countries.
Hell buddy with the plot truck may solve it sooner. That guy was clipping.
This is just awesome...
Only in my beloved Minnesota...
North Fowl Lake Jackpine, Ontario or East Cook, MN USA. Only can be accessed from the Canadian side using Fowl Lake Rd N . 48.074539, -90.023375.
This piece of land is really more trouble than it's worth. It was a survey mistake and it should really just be in Canada. It's 100 people there. It wouldn't be hard to let them decide which country they would like to permanently live in if the US just turned that land over to Canada.
As a Canadian I think this is disappointing, we should have made a route to get to northwest angle. sorry.
Sheesh I'm literally in Minneapolis right now and I had no clue this exists... ice road trucker yah betcha
Well, if you live in a city, that's normal not to really know much of what happens outside the cities.
So are they doing that this year (2022) ?
I suppose Point Roberts be left with Washington ferry service....?
That cost is asinine. The state should pay for that under what should be considered emergency circumstances. Although I guess that’s what you get for living in a place so isolated without an airport that requires you to rely on another country.
And homeless is not emergency circumstances . keep paying taxes for Biden to live free but don't ever say anything about homeless living off tax payers.
Why would they? They are still able to get supplies in Canada, its not like they are bailing out all small businesses.
the cost is what the market decided the fair value of this service should cost for those who need to use this service. I don't disagree with possible State subsidization like happens with permanent roads in the area, just seems like this temporary ice road will only be needed this season and maybe one more
@@onesob13 maybe the resort owners need to buy a snowplow.. Unless this don't always happen. But rely on a government that don't care is why we are in this state
@@wealldieatthehandsoflovedones someone else already owns the snowplow and wants to sell its use to the people who need it, i.e. resort and cabin owners on the Angle. Why would Angle residents and property owners (there's multiple) want to each individually purchase their own snowplow at great expense, when the existing snowplow owner can do it instead? Isn't that one supposed benefit of a market economy: that not everyone has to own everything they might need to get by, they can instead do the less expensive thing and pay someone else who owns the thing they need for its temporary use?
Wow real news about our governments being complete clowns hahaha
Washington state has the same issue with Point Roberts. It is a small peninsula that juts from Canada and crosses the border. Canada and the WA governors office, within the last 2 weeks, announced residents can now drive around to the US without a COVID test. There is an emergency passenger ferry from Bellingham as weather allows. The ferry runs Tuesday thru Friday 4 times a day, reservations required. It is being provided free of charge by the Port for residents of Point Roberts.
Question , regarding the ice Road ,are visitors to the Northwest angle still required to check in at customs if they’re driving across the lake from northern Minnesota to the Northwest angle ?
I don't believe so because the ice road is in American waters
A little like Point Roberts, in Washington State. Should just cede it to Canada. Might have higher taxes, but you would at least have universal medical. Though I guess your visitors would then be “foreigners”? No easy win here
“Sink or swim, so we just keep swimming”. Hell yeah dude, keep trucking
Once melted obviously its a bit easier to figure out transportation as its a lake people are bound to have boats but may take some pre planning to get what they need that they cannot transport by boat to where they need it or get a landing craft or barge to haul the bigger stuff it looks like they are but i hope there taking safety into priority as ice crossings can be problematic not as simple as plow and go
Except for the time and fuel it takes to drive the same distance is drastically less than by boat. Not sure but what wou,d you guess average boat speed to be ? About 30 mph?
The ice road won't last long. Spring is coming fast.
It definitely isn’t it’s -14 in iowa rn so I bet it’s like -30 so they will be good for a while
This is why they plowed it super wide. So the ice lasts as long as possible. We were just there. It was fine because the ice is super thick in the middle. It gets slushy where the snow meets the road on warm days. It was an awesome experience! They worked really hard on this project.
Like who drew the borderline? That piece should be Canada. I don't understand why it would zig zag up like that. Should have just split the lake in half and that would have been fine. I want to know who had the bright idea to do that
Back in 1783 when America got its independence from Great Britain the boarder would be a straight line from the Mississippi River which they thought flowed further north then it really did. The last time Canada tried to buy the Angle in 1807, America rejected anything that would change the treaty under which they had gained their independence
Canadian border agency could put GPS in the car at 1 border and take it back at the other. If they're so concerned about people trying to sneak into Canada or something. I suppose bureaucracy will never allow such a simple solution to be put into practice
They actually have to drive through Canada like plenty of Canada to get into the United States. Not sure if you understand that part. All the landmass that is connected is Canadian land. I’m guessing it would take a lot of resources to keep putting GPS or having a Canadian anybody follow them to the border and back every time somebody wanted to go somewhere. The hardest thing is they were used to going grocery shopping in Canada and things like that and They can’t do that now
@@CharityS-Minnesota I don't disagree that Canada could be more flexible with these people. But at 2:45 this report states they can come and go for groceries.
They should just go with Bidens approach on the mexican border and let it be a free for all.
@@TripleAstyle1 no Mexican slander allowed here man literally the kindest people the best food the most beautiful ... and remember most Mexicans have native blood they were here long before any of us!! They want to come here for better lives and to work my guy!! Stop watching OAN please
@@TripleAstyle1 I recall a time where taking a snowmobile or boat across a border lake to buy a case of beer or have lunch at a lodge wasn't uncommon, nor frowned upon by border patrol. 9/11 put paid to all that. As did lax Canadian immigration standards and the Bush admin introducing the need for passports and Canada following suit just to be petty.
At Clarke Immigration Law, we have helped many Americans travel through Canada to this area over the years. I love this creative solution!
Do you drive a taxi?
@@donmacaskill5022 We have many clients who are taxi drivers in Winnipeg. Do you need a referral?
govt prb shut them down already after this aired in tv.. and it is prb illegal for them to charge for a pass, they dont own the lake.. there are plowed lakes here in WI during the ice season and they cant charge anyone to use it(only donations are accepted)
Places like that interest me but I'm not sure if I would want to live there.
The lake is public property, but if it comes to a dispute the State could decide to give certain ice roads legal standing to enforce tolls and rules.
In that case they probably should too because tolls are a good way to fund road construction and maintenance.
On the other hand
As long as people can be common-sense adults (and that often happens in small communities) they don't really need the courts and government. The punishment for not paying the toll is being known as the selfish guy who refuses to pay the toll. If the toll is more popular than you are, well, it sucks to be you.
Direct democracy, it's called. Hopefully the legislature can look at it and say "please don't make us write a law and set up a commission, it's expensive and you'll probably complain about it."
$500.00! I’ll just drive across the lake next to the road for free
You do realize just how much snow there is atop the ice? Good luck with that, its your funeral.
@@xheralt lol. Ok buck shot! Go cry to someone els.
@@djanderson8953 LOL, did it sound like I was crying? I'm laughing at your foolhardiness.
$145.00 for a two way pass. It was $500.00 all season. Just did it, and $145.00 was worth every penny.
Fair enough, just seems a little bit high to me. I would just load up the Polaris in the truck and use that to go back and forth lol
Amazing
I've seen this couple pedaling their dog and pony show but let's be clear this border was made in 1800's so it's not like it was a surprise to them.
They need to move or get a grip.
Point Roberts near Vancouver has the same issue....
Cool! That's pretty amazing!
I miss Jakes. Fooseball and beers. It was great to see you. If even only on the news.
Never again will I accept the argument of "taxes pay for our roads".
This shows that the people can do as good if not better of a job at getting things done than government ever could. Good for them!
Just drove through snow storm in big bear southern California, but it can't be compared to this.
We have ice trails through the frozen tundra and on are sound
Only February and we're already hearing stories of Americans abandoned by their own government, I hope there's still a country left to recover in 2024
I wonder if those folks who seem to own a cabin up there are allowed entry to buy food or only year round inhabitants. Ownership seems as permanent as living only there imo. I wonder if there's a matching disconnect piece of Canada dealing with the same hurdles.
I wonder if a hovercraft would be of any use.
Even though it made a great video, I feel sorry for those people that are cut off from everything because of the weather. I grew up in subzero temperatures and 3 feet of snow and ice. So I know what they are going through. Thanx for posting this.
They are cutoff because of fear, not the weather.....
Its the freezing weather that has liberated them...Canada's irrational fear and playing along with the PLANdemic is what has isolated them...and killed tourism... Bunch of Sheep!
Residents of northwest angle are not cut off. They can still travel into Canada for essential services either by land year round or by the ice road travelling north into Kenora. It’s just the lodge operators who felt cut off because their customers had no options. If anything Canadian lodge operators are suffering the most because more then 90% of our customers are from the USA.
