As the matters are under dispute, a consistency would require that you claim the converse is true, i.e. (that the US and the other countries involved apparently the UK, maybe Russia, France and others are NOT trampling on Canadian sovereignty by moving subs or ships through the "Canadian territorial waters") IS likewise reasonably called fiction.

I don't know if you can see how you are being inconsistent and illogical by trying to make one side of a dispute fictional and the other side real but I've no further interest in persuading you to the matter.

Nor is the claim that the issue is non fictitious synonymous with the assertion that "Canada's claim is completely solid and not reasonably disputed". If you had wanted to claim that Canada's claim is NOT completely solid and is reasonably disputed, you could have claimed that rather than saying it was a fictional claim or a fictional dispute. A less than perfect case is quite different than a fictional case.
