From what I've heard / read wild boar are so destructive that people / groups that have been dealing with them say they wouldn't wish it on anyone else.
I don't think its huge numbers but there are wild boar in Canada in provinces West of Ontario. I believe Manitoba or Alberta had/ have bounty rewards out for wild boar
Yes and no ....
In Europa is not a problem .....
why would be a problem here .....
here is more space than is Europa...?

They are very destructive, they will wreck farmers fields, creeks, native marshland, pretty much everything, they are very invasive and very bad, look at the southern US for that.
Any suggestion of introduction is stupid, farmers would lose their minds on anyone even thinking about it.
If youve ever seen the show Game Keepers on Wild Tv, you commonly see entire episodes dedicated to getting rid of these things.
They would likely thrive in southern Ontario where it is mostly Ag. They would probably eat just about everything in sight and put a major strain on the deer herd.
