I did the same thing in the library in Standstead quebec front of library Canada back is the USA.

This Is fun to watch and terrific to listen to the history. Thank you for creating this!!

My mom works in cbp and she says that some officers monitor the border and they will not care if you walk through and they will only stop you if you keep on going pass the border, the building and tables near the peace arch is also a common place where border protection workers have partyies/hangout

I’ve visited the Peace Arch. The US side and Canadian side of the parks are easily accessible and you can freely walk across the border at that point. But it’s heavily monitored with cameras and sensors and there are signs telling people they must only leave the park from the side in which they entered or risk being fined and/or arrested.

This was so fun to see. Also I learned so much thank you.

As a kid, I remember going to big picnics at peacharch on the Canadian side. All us younger kids would walk across the border past the park into the US. We’d only go to get different snacks you could only find in us corner stores like ampm. Most the time the border patrol would leave us alone, maybe follow us; but sometimes they would arrest us. It it was more of a detain us, ask us a few questions then drop us off at the Canadian side where we’d get lectured before ultimately letting us go. Good times :)

Now that was fun I remember walking trough that Peace arch in the late 60s shhhh I'm just a little bit older now lol! That sure was a Epic Veiw and so very funny my friend especially the tent scenario! Appreciate your efforts and quality content thanks JCV for a great veiw...and hello to the family....my Daughter is doing much better, we sure appreciated your kind words they ment alot Ty .. Luv&Peace Sean&family

Thanks for this nice uplifting video

2001, 20+ years ago, I went from Canada side Peace Arch park to US side park, and walked out of the park, then was detained by US border patrol, and sent back to Canada. It was before 911, I guess it could be a lot different if after 911

I went from North Dakota into Manitoba and back again twice: once when i was married back in the 1970s, and once about 10 to 12 years later with a friend. we didn't need passports back then, but the border guards sure did ask a lot of questions and were interested in how many cigarettes we were bringing into Canada. we visited Winnipeg. i remember being struct by how clean it was in that area of Canada. i saw a gum wrapper on a government building lawn, but that was the only trash i saw on the way to/from and around Winnipeg.

Nice! On my bucket list.

I could be wrong but I think that good looking guy crossing the Peach Arch was JCV himself. Nice work as always my friend !

What about a Schengen-type treaty between Canada and the USA like in Central Europe? Roaming across the border would be easy at least for Canada and US citizens.

Awesome

The best border crossing in the world. A lesson to all countries.

I remember being at The Peace Arch back in July of 2001. Very beautiful place!!!!!! This was before 9/11. However I don't think I ever walked acrossed. Maybe I did but don't remember!

Another great video JC!

the crossing is a 1/4 mile north.

Truth be told, I’ve stepped across the border like that several times on different trips to Vancouver and Seattle! Scallywag’s, all of us...!

Hey, is it open now from both of the sides?

I went there today. I walked through that arch and I kept walking. Went through an official building and showed them my passport card and answered some questions. Ok ok I guess at that point i left the park properly.

i think they should put the original canada flag came up on the arch.

Why are people in tents

What's "Arceimpe"?

In th mid-'70s, I figured I'd sneak across the border to avoid th draft... In '81, I rode buses across country to Everett, WA & started thumbin. I met a guy that showed me Peace Arch Park & said just walk thru there & you'll be there; so I did... After walkin a cupla hundred yards, imaginin how much trouble I could get in, I turned & walked back to th border-crossin buildin, went inside & told em : "I wanna go to Canada." They wanted to know WHY they'd just seen me walk in from Canada if I wanted to go to Canada...lotta question-&-answer after that but I told them what I told you & I went to Canada.

epic

Which airport should i land. To reach easily to peace arch. I am in alberta

A nice little bit of sanity in all this craziness.. That actor you got playing you, good egg!👍🇨🇦 Cheers, David

**meanwhile at the mexico-usa border**

These gates are closed now for the first time; sad.

this was great and very funny we all need a laugh now and then

He’s an American going into Canada If this was the other way and a Canadian walked into America this would be different I’m sure

That was you walking thru the arch, wasn't it? :D

Vancouver

"may these gates never close" ... didn't you just say that (as of filming date) you are not allowed to cross into the other country (arrive in the other country) that sounds closed to me! People are transmitting the virus to another country when they make out in their tents. When you walk through the arch, at what point does your cell phone switch to the other country carrier?

Hello. I wonder can currently tourists in canada enter the park where arch is, and walk thru it from Can to Us and vice versa without any trouble? I mean, I get cause of covid border is closed, but I saw in the video there are some people nearby the arch over the park. Great video, I'm mexican and planning a trip to canada next summer. I'll appreciate any reply.

Hi, thank you for your video. I wonder how I can meet my parent, they are in Canada and I am in the USA. can we meet up there for few hours?

You're so Canadian lol

Whilst we may be ‘children of a common mother,’ who are the fathers?
