U.S. to limit Canadian access to border library where Kristi Noem made ‘51st state’ jibe

The U.S. will limit Canadian access to the library on the border between Vermont and Quebe, where Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made a jibe about Canada becoming the “51st state.”

Almost two months after Noem’s comments at the Haskell Free Library & Opera House, which straddles the border of Derby Line, Vermont, and Stanstead, Quebec, the U.S. government has made the “unilateral decision” to stop allowing Canadians to enter the building from the U.S. side without going through customs, according to library and Stanstead officials, the Boston Globe reported.
