With AFP Story by Clément SABOURIN: Canada-US-border-police-society == The Canadian-US border is pictured on November 13, 2009 in Stanstead, Canada. Stanstead and Derby Line, Vermont on the US side have always functioned as one village sharing not only city services but family and neighbors. However, new border crossing measures by the US Department of Homeland Security have split the town in two, requiring residents to show their passports and installing metal gates on street that straddle the border.
