No Borders Here is the second album (and first to be available outside Canada) by Jane Siberry.

The album's single "Mimi on the Beach" was Siberry's breakthrough hit in her native Canada, and remains one of her most famous songs. Toronto's CFNY was the first radio station in Canada to recognize the song's hit potential.[citation needed] The song's video was also one of the first influential clips on MuchMusic.
