    It is not appropriate for a government to use it in official publications.

    I generally agree with your expectation. However, euphemisms for phenomena people feel strongly about will just pick up the emotional charge of the word they replaced anyway. Might as well cut the crap.

    They can build a wall, and I'll still be able to flash my passport and enter Canada when I chose. So, knock yourself out.

    Canada depends on America more than you know.

    I would not want a wall because I need to pickup my Amazon.com orders

    Doesn't Canada already have a pretty strong border control policy compared to the US already? Therefore a "wall" wouldn't be needed.
