if you think point roberts is big
then dont forget the always forgotten akwesasne at st regis quebec
which is both its exact equivalent & opposite topologically
meaning an international tongue sticking back out the other way
but also adds the interest level of an international indian reservation that
scarcely acknowledges the caus line running thru it anyway
& which is easily the biggest & coolest anomaly on any of canadas borders

also how about canadas 4 ongoing border disputes
3 with the usa & 1 with denmark
one of which even involves a triangle of water that nobody claims

also canadas weird halfhearted sector claim to the north pole

also canadas forgotten but distinct 4th federal territory
after yukon & northwest & nunavut
the federal seas surrounding everything & including much if not most of the
actual boundaries with the usa & denmark & france

also the place in tarr inlet alaska where a glacier has melted creating a
new albeit still unusable canadian outlet to the sea
