The Canadian/US border doesn't start at Niagara Falls, there are hundreds of miles of it east of there. It starts in Maine, across NH, then VT, then Eastern NY, before you get to Niagara Falls. And the border towns in Maine, NH and VT are very very interesting places. Almost everyone on both sides of the border int hat area speak both French and English. And there are several homes, farms & businesses that straddle the border. Up until a few years ago, you could go out the front door and be in US, use the back door and be in Canada. But now with homeland security, they can only have access and egress from one country. You have to go outside and through a border crossing even if you kitchen is in US and your bedroom is in Canada.
