I always found this 2/3rds statistic hard to believe but it counts all coastlines as a border zone [0].

As a Canadian, I'm more concerned with the vast percentage of us who live within 100 miles of the US border.

Why are you worried about it as long as you're on Canadian soil?

Have you been asleep for the past two months?

Annexation threats from Trump?

[nielsole]

For annexation threats the 100 mile line is irrelevant.

The only thing to be concerned about is cost of living increases.

Canada does not have the 100 mile constitution exclusion zone that the US has. It only exists at the border itself. This is something the RCMP regularly complains about.

As a Michigander within 80 miles of several border crossings, I don't think you need to worry. I've never heard of border patrol doing anything weird up here in 50 years. Canada is just not a big concern.

As a Michigander in Grand Rapids... You're not up to date. ICE considers the beach of any international waterway (according to them, all of the Great Lakes including Lake Michigan, ACLU disagrees) a "border crossing", so the entire state is in warrantless border zone.

They've made I-213 arrests as far inland as Grand Rapids and even Mount Pleasant, which is about as far from the lakes as you can get.

Records do show that only 1.5% of cases involve people with "Light" skin tone, so if you're white you're unlikely to be affected directly by this. It's not about Canada.

Apparently it’s a bigger concern than Mexico these days. Something about Fentanyl I heard, presumably Trump is unhappy that Canada imports many times more fentanyl than it sends back or something about as insane..
