Haskell library no longer as friendly to Canadians?

I've been out of state a long while, but this doesn't seem like the VT I know. Any insight into why the library is blocking previously unfettered Canadian access?

It looks like they can still use the library, they just have to go through extra steps, which seems petty and unproductive.
