    And Canada does have a land border with an EU country - Denmark. Canada and Denmark had a long standing border dispute over Hans island featuring multiple armed raids. It was resolved in a mature and sensible fashion to just divide the island. Good for all involved.

      The only ‘dispute’ I know about on Hans island was the Whisky Dispute, which was resolved peacefully after years of soldiers ‘claiming’ the land by stealing each other’s flags and leaving booze for each other. More like a very lazy game of capture the flag if you ask me.

      Are these the armed raids you refer to?

      multiple armed raids

      I mean…technically…sure. But the two armed groups were never actually there at the same time. They simply came at different times to swap Whiskey and Schnaps.

      Canada also has land in France. The Vimy Ridge memorial is officially Canadian territory, granted by France.
