   Has the sad tale of the inhabitants of Point Roberts   
   reached your part of the world as well?   
      
   Point Roberts is an exclave of the USA,   
   one that can be reached only through Canada, by road.   
   (they did not really look where that // went)   
   Not as bad as Baarle-Hertog, but still.   
      
   It used to be popular for shopping with Canadians,   
   bacause of some lower taxes there.   
   Unfortunately for Robertians, most of those Canadians   
   are now saying 'F@ck you, See you in three years'.   
      
   'But in there years I won't have a business left!'   
   They are seriously talking of seceeding,   
   (but of course it will not happen)
