A few weeks ago, news of a petition to urge the U.S. Border station here at Point Roberts to remedy the problem of the increasingly problematic long lines at our entrance to home circulated. The number of Canadians who come here for visits to their cottages, to their gas stations away from home, and to their package delivery stores away from home continues to increase, though the number of entry-ways and the hours of the Nexus lanes remain unchanged. There's not much you can do if every car must be at least visually checked to make more cars go through the same five lanes and the same hours.
Et voila! A petition is signed by those of us here on this side and in no time at all by U.S. Customs standards, the hours are changed. "What? " they say. "You need more time for Nexus lanes? Why did you not say something earlier? It is of course our pleasure to meet your needs."
And now, I am told, the Nexus lane coming into Point Roberts will be open from 9 am to 9 pm. Quelle surprise!
