I see something similar near Emerson, MB.

Both are tagged as
boundary:administrative
admin_level:2

The thin line has a tag of:

border_type:country

Whereas the thick line has a tag of:

border_type:national

The thick line also has two relations:
boundary: United States
boundary: Canada

Whereas the thin line has only the additional single tag:
country:right:United States.

Oh yeah, pay no attention to those other borders in the area... North
Dakota, Minnesota, Pembina County, Kittson County, and the correct
GeoBase border.
