As a Geography Brit who subscribes to your Substack, this ridiculous event just highlights the stupidity of the Clown in Chief. Elbows up, from across The Pond.
I see three straightforward changes to the U.S.-Canada border that would make a lot of sense: Campobello Island could move from NB to ME, Point Roberts from WA to BC, and the Northwest Angle from MN to MB. While these changes are unlikely, especially given today’s political climate, the situation surrounding the Haskell Free Library is truly sad for both of our countries.
Very likely. Though if I recall from my time living in Alaska as a boy, most people in Alaska really, really like being Alaskan more than anything else. I wonder if that's changed though 🤔
From L 40 onwards to 60, will experience the global climatic changes in the next fifty years. In fact only two large geographical areas in the continental America will survive.

Logically I agree. Hyder, Alaska should probably also be part of Canada. But emotionally, I just love those little quirks!
I was going to mention that as well, but I sense the locals there really like being American, despite their daily need for Canada.
Point Roberts for Campobello could be a simple trade.
I suppose the Northwest Angle is more complicated, as there is nothing to trade, but also few people there. Maybe put it to a local referendum.

I think in all situations too, you'd allow all permanent residents dual citizenship to them and their next generation.
Have known about this and am saddened this magical border quirk has been closed down.
You should be more concerned with Latitude 60 in the northern hemisphere, a large of it passes through northern USA, besides other countries.
What's going on with latitude 60?

Ah! Great Lakes and?

The Earth's climate has been changing for 4 1/2 billion years at all latitudes and longitudes.
