You don't think it has to do with the complex trade relationships, a shared language, related cultures, and geopolitical similar goals?

Nah it must be because the US and Canada made sure some piece of East Jahunga Island with 1000x as many beavers as people border was perfectly defined.

Legit, we came close several times during the 19th century to outright war (other than the War of 1812, naturally). One of our presidents was elected with a "Pro-War with Britain if they don't give us the land we think is our's" platform. Land swaps were an integral part of avoiding that.
