Sunday, December 8th 2019. Afternoon at Roxham Road, US.
A cold day. We arrived at 3.30pm. Seven people crossed into Canada while we were there. The first taxi came at about 4pm bringing a woman holding a baby wrapped in a blanket. She was nervous and did not want to talk and crossed the border without a problem. Minutes later a second taxi arrived with two men who stated that they had come from Venezuela. One of them very gratefully accepted mittens and a scarf. 5 minutes later a taxi arrived with a woman on her own. She had three suitcases and was in distress. She was crying and was not able to talk, but accepted a pair of gloves. The RCMP officer permitted the taxi driver to help with the suitcases. Finally about twenty minutes before 5pm the last taxi arrived arrived with a couple fro Venezuela who crossed without a problem. Most of the arrivals were well prepared for the cold but some of them accepted warm things.
