From Global News.

Canadian senator Jim Quinn from New Brunswick says an American tour company’s description of a small island at the centre of a longstanding sovereignty dispute is “unacceptable” and is calling on the government to reinforce Canada’s claim to the island.

Machias Seal Island is a tiny tear-shaped island — about 550 metres long and 250 metres wide — located in the Bay of Fundy off New Brunswick.

Both Canada and the United States have tried to claim the island, which is mostly uninhabited except for a lighthouse keeper and some researchers studying the island’s seabird colonies.

Suzanne Lapointe reports.
