A rather invidious statement there...the Canadian border may be very long, but mostly runs through wastelands and wilderness, with many little roads crossing that hardly would have a few vehicles a day in a busy season...and further is frozen solid half the year.

The Mexican border is statistically shorter in length, but has far more population and centers near it, and often runs through densely populated areas such as Tijuana or El Paso...and even when it IS in remoter desert areas, most of the year temperatures and conditions favor travel quite comfortably...

The most important fact is that, surely, Mexico must have 3 to 4 times the population of Canada...

frozen solid half the year?

You've got to be kidding. Our first snow was only a couple of weeks ago, and it's totally melted by the middle of march. Now that's JUST snow. Almost ANY road is passable with a 4X4...ANY time of year.

Frozen solid? Not even close.

So what if it's frozen. It's FLAT in a lot of places. Didn't need snow tires or chains the 1 1/2 years I lived up North in Saskatchewan. And, the population of Canada is about 30 million. Will go check for population of Mexico.

Your ignorance astonishes me ... and to put it in writing, then post it ... astonishes me even more!
