i counted them as 3 of the 10 mixed status coastal federal waters tripoints
because i have not found any evidence anywhere of any province or territory
extending offshore beyond the low tide line
& also because i have found specific statements indicating that both
nunavut territory & quebec province do not include offshore waters anywhere
& also because nicholson says any newfoundland territorial waters passed to
the control of the government of canada when nf joined in 1949
& indeed i believe not only these 3 but all 10 of the tripoints in this
category are probably legally fixed where the interprovincial or provincial
territorial boundaries meet the low tide line

incidentally the first & second photos at
http://www.wright-photo.com/northlabradorcoast1.htm
may include the canfnun & canfpqn tripoints
at cape chidley & cape labrador respectively
tho i am not positive about these details


& the other 7 tripoints in this subclass of 10 are
canfpqs canbnsn canbnss canbpq caonpq cambon & cambnu
as you may have deduced
