Canada doesn't have any history of slavery
Actually, we do. Upper Canada (now Ontario) was the first British colony to abolish it but it continued in Nova Scotia until the Crown banned the trade in the 1830s. It wasn't a divisive issue, though, because our climate meant that slave-owners had to feed their "property" year-round but could only get work from them for eight months. The life of an unskilled labourer here was summer on a farm, winter at a logging camp.

Canada doesn't share a 1,000 mile long land border with a Third World narco-state.
Not yet, anyway. (Sorry, that line was a gift)

I said 1,000 miles...not 3,000 miles! ;-)
