INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MN-- The U.S.-Canadian border has been closed for 13 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that time, Dan Fannie who built a retirement home in the Northwest Angle has only been able to travel to his house by snowmobile. "To me, it's not right, I own a home there and it's in Minnesota, U.S. and to me, I feel that it's essential that I be able to drive to my house," said Fannie. Fannie, like many others living near the border, is getting frustrated. So, they shared those concerns Tuesday with lawmakers on both sides of the border during a round table discussion in International Falls.
