Not so simple, en.wikipedia.org There is an on-going diplomatic sovereignty dispute between Canada and Greenland (represented internationally by Denmark) over the tiny Hans Island. The island is claimed by both Canada and Denmark. The dispute over Hans Island may turn into a test case on sovereignty claims in the Arctic (particularly regarding the contested Northwest Passage south of the island), a region that could become more important if climate change opens it up to more human activity. The British had that attitude when they settle the border at the 49th west of Lake Superior... They could not see past the fur trade, no vision. The US not by luck alone made made some very astute moves. Louisiana, Texas, California, Alsaka, 49th parallel with Canada.... What do you think you government would do if in the same situation ? Easy answer.
