This is nothing new and has been going on for decades. People that live in/near border towns often just zip past the border. The animal shelter in one of these towns told us they get all their animals treated in the US. Everyone I talked to in that town has said similar things about buying groceries in the US instead.

I imagine it is just becoming more common with the insane inflation, shrinkflation, etc.
