Given their roles in safe-guarding the borders it's completely reasonable, as these questions dig into the character of people and provide insight into what they might do in certain situations given what they have already done in the past.
As part of Top Secret level clearance, the questions go even deeper and you're forced to answer while wired to a polygraph. Again, completely reasonable given the information that is shared with you once you obtain that level of clearance. On top of that, you have to re-qualify for this clearance by going through another interview with the same kinds of questions regularly to ensure you still qualify.
Not sure what level clearance CBSA officers have to clear though. I'm assuming Secret?
