This is Rumble's trip, and this is Sonia de Paoli. She's Canadian.

I routinely drive on a road called Canusa, which is one side is Vermont, the other side is

Canada, is Quebec. And so as you're driving, the Vermont plates are on one side and the

Canadian plates are on the other. Although we can drive on the U.S. side, we cannot get out of the car or walk there.

Neighbors have beers together in summer, one from one side of the street, one from the other.

You cannot cross.

You cannot, you know, do that.

However, you can wave.

Sonia lives in Stansted, Quebec, and when she's waving across Canusa Avenue, it's at the people over in Derby Line, Vermont. Derby Line has three

official border crossings to Canada, but not a single stoplight. It's a tiny town with a long, brutal winter.

The local Canadians come over to shop at Price Chopper, the Americans get their pastries in Canada,

and a lot of people have family on both sides of the border. Up until 9-11, one stretch of the border

between Derby Line and Stansted was a line of flower pots. Right in downtown Derby

line, straddling both towns and both countries is the Haskell Free Library and Opera House.

It was built in 1904, and for over a century, it has served as the public library for both

Americans and Canadians, and it's a place to see shows and films in the

opera house upstairs. Three quarters of the library is in Canada, a quarter is in the U.S., but

the main entrance to the library is in the U.S. And for as long as anyone can remember,

Canadians have been allowed to walk the 70 feet of sidewalk around the building to that front entrance.

And people don't mess around.

There are cameras and border patrol cars all over the place up there.

The Haskell is not enormous or grand.
