Yes I agree. Canada has a long border but just with one country. So think it’s in a good position. It’s way more difficult for a European country for example.

It's not that difficult for most European countries.

People are going to be crossing borders at relatively few and well understood locations.

And they could've simply imposed large fines for anyone who tried to sneak through.

You obviously don’t live in mainland Europe. I can easily cross borders in a small village, on a field, through a forest. There are no fences. Sometimes you don’t even have a line.

It’s a bit like saying New York should close its borders with Pennsylvania
