why is point roberts not part of canada
Point Roberts, Washington Point Roberts is a U.S. exclave bordered by Canada and the waters of Boundary Bay. It is 22 miles (35 km) south of Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Point Roberts is part of the U.S. because it lies south of the 49th parallel, which constitutes the Canada–US border in that area. Other exclaves of this type include the U.S. state of Alaska, parts of Minnesota such as the Northwest Angle and Elm Point, Minnesota, and Province Point, Vermont. Alburgh, Vermont is also separated by land, but is reachable by highway bridge, from the rest of the United States.
