Sure, our rate is obviously propped up by a giant porous border with USA, but it's still outrageously high.

Well to be fair, our higher rate reasoning likely doesn't extend much past sharing a giant porous border with the USA. The amount of guns that sneak over our border is insane.
I guess tightening up our border may actually become a thing. In the past I always thought if our border stiffened up it would be from a paranoid America, but these days I think it may actually be in Canada's best interest to initiate.
Thing is, the relatively free flowing nature of crossing our border is a huge part of both country's economies, so there would be reluctance from both sides, imo.
