Was the SUV coerced by these seven people, or did it act of its own volition?

Not surprising a vehicle could hijack the innocent victims and cross the border, sounds like a lot of modern thinking.

What seven victims, quite obviously we don't need such "high capacity SUV's"

What was the Haskell Free Library like before 9/11?

Didn't make it there before 9/11.
I've been several times. It's generally no problem to walk around inside and I've parked on the Vermont side and walked around the grounds to the Canadian side, taken my picture at the border, and then back to the U.S. side again. No one came out and said anything - but you just knew if you "chanced" it and decided to take a stroll into Stanstead without crossing the border legitimately, it probably wouldn't end well. It's a fascinating area, you have houses with backyards and driveways in separate countries.
In Newport, VT to the west, you have the border running down the middle of the street.

We still get our quite generous allotment of Canadian garbage. I guess Canada is too small to have its own landfills. I guess they have to keep up their squeaky clean image.What's "funny" is that it's the US closing the border, despite COVID being under control (for now) in Canada, and out of control in the US !

Or...Canada is paying good money for someone to take the trash?
