The Editor:

There is something that I think the city of Blaine could help with.

I have noticed three or four times that when there is a backup at the U.S./Canada border people are getting out of their cars and running for the nearest restroom. The last time was on Thanksgiving.

Often there is a backup at both crossings as if they are down to one lane, is this to protest against their fellow neighbors for shopping across the border?

Here’s my idea, if we want to have them coming across the border, could the city put a couple of temporary toilets, or even permanent ones, next to the highway?

If the border stations are that bad they might just stop coming. Just an idea that someone might want to look into.
