Because it was tax season here, the computer was
needed for tax preparation and I was thus lax at
e-mailing or updating my page for the last month. It
should most likely change.
I want to put my two cents on the subject of Nunavut
owning all of Hudson bay. Whatever the situation is,
it is one of two improbable situations. So take a
side on what you like. What we know is that all
islands in Hudson, James and Ungava Bay belongs to
Nunavut. Now if Michael is right, then all the island
are enclaved in Canadian waters. Now that maybe
technically correct, but have we thought of the
consequences? Water level or silt buildup changes.
What happens when a new island forms or an old island
disappears. Does the enclave disappear only to maybe
mystically reappear a few years later when water level
changes again. Again that maybe technically correct,
but I find that a little unwieldy. The other choice
would be considering all water after the low tide
level to be Nunavut. The problem there is that you
could then technically dive from Ontario or Quebec
land and land in Nunavut waters. Even weirder is the
idea of a wet-dry tripoint existing near Killineq
island. I know it is probably technically wrong, but
I like the idea of picturing the whole area being
Nunavut water. It is just so much easier to picture.
Let the arguments begin.
