Canada border

Line dividing neighbors

The Canada border is the boundary between Canada and the United States, the longest international border in the world.

In American usage, it often appears in contrast to the southern border with Mexico: Security at the Canada border is less militarized.

The phrase typically implies the perspective of someone in the United States looking north.
