Canada made it easier for World Cup fans to cross the border, but they did not come

Lots of empty seats at Canada's World Cup match

Late evening at the Peace Arch border crossing between Blaine, Wash., and Surrey, B.C., this week brought a flush of pink to the sky and a panorama of flashing green to the Canadian border, each light marking an open lane − eight in total.

Two cars pulled up and quickly made their way through. Most of the lanes stood empty.


The World Cup a bust? No problem! Canadian tax payers are footing the bill.
