Canada's problem, is that no-one, not the least the US, recognizes it as Canadian waters, but believe it to be international.
Before the last Ice age? When Vikings were growing corn and hay on Greenland I am pretty sure the NWP was traversable.

Don't get your panties wet, yes you may be able to traverse it for a while, however for the majority of the year the NWP is non negotiable.
