I really think they are drives that take similar times. Point Roberts is obviously further.

Squiggs, I used to commute to the office downtown from Deep Cove (which is about as far as you can get from the downtown while still being in North Van) and, leaving at around 0715 to beat the worst of the traffic, it would take +/- 30 min, barring an accident or stall on the Ironworkers Bridge. This was only a few years ago, so add another 5 min for the increased congestion since then. You would be hard pressed to get downtown from Point Roberts in 35 min at 0200, never mind in rush hour or even in non-rush hour times. There is also a border crossing to contend with, albeit with a Nexus card that would not be onerous.
Back on topic, this is a great deal for the Canucks. We got more for Torts than we did for Kassian and Lack combined!
