Explosion at the U.S.-Canada border. Will the U.S. build a wall?
We break down whether such an outcome is possible and how it will affect both countries.
The construction of a wall on the U.S.-Canada border is one of the most unexpected and discussed topics in recent times. How did it come to this and what role does the explosion of a Bentley car worth about US$300,000 play in this story? Let's look into it and find out how much the U.S. economy depends on Canada or vice versa.
I moved to Canada with my family in 2016 and I must say that we have never regretted that decision. Canada is a safe country and immigrants are treated very well here. That is why I, like many people, was puzzled by the proposal in the United States to wall off Canada.
This was announced by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, a politician from Ohio. The man is not an easy one, as he has filed his candidacy for the Republican Party's nomination for the US presidency to run in the 2024 elections. Similar to Trump's wall, he has been talking about a wall in the north for some time now, but previously his remarks did not go beyond local political debates. So what happened?
Car accident
On November 22, a Bentley car exploded on the U.S.-Canada border near Niagara Bentley. The tragedy killed a married couple in the car. A border patrol officer was also injured.
The FBI together with the Ontario Provincial Police thoroughly investigated the incident and concluded that it was an accident — a traffic accident. Allegedly, the couple from New York, who were in the car, had planned to go to Canada to a Kiss concert, but it was canceled due to a cold in one of the musicians. The businessman from Bentley also had health problems, something happened to him, and he at a great speed literally flew his luxury car into the air and died.
