anyone know what's going on at the Champlain/Lacolle border?

[martinetav]

Apparently the border is closed on both sides at Champlain/Lacolle. Anyone know why?

UPDATE: It would seem that there has been some kind of a THREAT at the Lacolle side of the border. Possibly a bomb threat. It is impossible to cross the border in either direction right now at Champlain/Lacolle
