Canada to Annex Point Roberts, Washington

The Issue

We, the undersigned, call on the Government of Canada to annex Point Roberts, Washington, and integrate it into British Columbia.

Why Should Point Roberts Become Part of Canada?

Point Roberts, a small U.S. exclave at the southern tip of British Columbia, is geographically and practically cut off from the rest of the United States. Its residents must cross two international borders just to access essential services, creating daily hardships and unnecessary complications. By incorporating Point Roberts into Canada, we can:

Improve Quality of Life: Residents would gain easier access to healthcare, schools, and commerce without border restrictions.

Boost Economic Stability: The community depends heavily on Canadian shoppers and tourism, which could flourish under Canadian administration.

Enhance Security & Infrastructure: A direct connection to BC would simplify emergency services, utilities, and governance.

Strengthen Cross-Border Relations: A friendly territorial adjustment would reflect modern realities and benefit both nations.

This petition urges the Canadian government to engage in diplomatic discussions with the U.S. to facilitate a peaceful and mutually beneficial transition of Point Roberts into Canada.

Sign today to support a logical and long-overdue solution for this unique community!
