Canada's problem, is that no-one, not the least the US, recognizes it as Canadian waters, but believe it to be international.

IMO,
Thats not exactly a true statement. However the "leafs" are gracious enough to go along with USN groups traversing those waterways and from time time probably dont mind in the least because it adds to security and in small gains allows them to operate more freely in places they want to keep a presence in at all times. If it adds to their satisfaction that they dont have to patrol when a USN ship passes through they are getting a patrol for free.
Just an opinion.
