That is nonsense. The default is Canada's historical and factual sovereignty over her internal waters. You provide no reason to consider the waters fully Canada's sovereign territorial waters, or to consider such an assertion as the default other the fact that you say it is so. Re: "International straight" 1 - If the waters are considered not withing the boundaries for Canadian territorial waters in the first place, than they don't have to be an international straight in order for the vessels of other countries to have a right of passage. 2 - A route is useful, if it can be and has been used. The straight in question has been used, possibly is being used at this very moment, and can be used in the future. Re: Hans Island Its mostly a separate dispute, and is not just about Canada's ability to exert sovereignty and control, but also about who is properly sovereign over the island. Re: Resource Potential Since all of the area would be within Canada's exclusive economic zone, I don't see this as being a big reason for controversy. Clearly the resources found there are properly under Canadian control.
