And Canada does have a land border with an EU country - Denmark. Canada and Denmark had a long standing border dispute over Hans island featuring multiple armed raids. It was resolved in a mature and sensible fashion to just divide the island. Good for all involved.
I mean…technically…sure. But the two armed groups were never actually there at the same time. They simply came at different times to swap Whiskey and Schnaps.
The only ‘dispute’ I know about on Hans island was the Whisky Dispute, which was resolved peacefully after years of soldiers ‘claiming’ the land by stealing each other’s flags and leaving booze for each other. More like a very lazy game of capture the flag if you ask me.

And to lower the other’s flag
Taking whiskey and leaving fucking schnapps is the real crime here.
Welp, now the Danes are going to vote no.
Hahaha. All in good fun. We’re basically cousins at this point.
Canada also has land in France. The Vimy Ridge memorial is officially Canadian territory, granted by France.
France also has St. Pierre and Miquelon that shares a border with Newfoundland.
Maritime border. They are a couple km off the coast.
I’d hate to be the custom’s agent posted there.

Are these the armed raids you refer to?
Yes. The raids were mostly to not to forfeit their territorial claims, booze left as a sorry for the trouble gift.
And another (and older) maratime border with France.
Along the obvious seam that was there the whole time.
