Can a US citizen own land in Canada?
you can not homestead crown land in Canada, since the dominion lands act is no longer law. you can obtain crown land at market rates by purchasing it from the government, but it is not an easy process. there is some very cheap land in some counties that can be purchased for next to nothing with conditions that you must build a home or be a permanent resident. there is other land that is simply very affordable, with no restrictions.
there is a lot of land in canada, and consequently, some of the more remote land is very cheap. You can purchase land at prices that might as well be homesteaded, but you can not get land for free anymore, on the promise of improving it.

Is it true Canada and the US share the longest undefended border in the world?
There are many reasons--
Racism.
Economics (Canada has a fairly good economy, Mexico has a poverty problem).
History and language (Most Canadians speak English)
Geography. There are natural borders for most of the densely populated areas between the US and Canada. There are few natural boundaries between the US and Mexico (you can walk across the Rio Grande).
Birth rate (Mexico has a high birth rate, Canada does not).
Education and culture (Most Canadians are well educated, Mexicans are often not).
The reason the US and Canada border is not fenced is that Canada is mainly our strongest ally; and like previously stated, their economy is good, so there is not really such reason to migrate illegally to the US; Mexico's economy is not as good, and some migrate illegally to other countries for a better life, for example the US. (There are lots of rich people in Mexico and Mexico's economy isnt horrible, but it is not as well as the US economy, and as previously stated Mexico has some poverty, and people in poverty are mainly the people who migrate illegally, for a better life.)
