Canada Demands US Recognize Machias Seal Island

Senator Jim Quinn from New Brunswick is advocating for Canada to assert its ownership over Machias Seal Island, a disputed territory between Canada and the US. Hes concerned about an American boat tour company describing the island as part of the Maine coast, which he believes undermines Canadas claim. The island is a crucial migratory bird sanctuary and home to a significant puffin colony. Quinn is calling for a review of the tour companys permits and demands that Canada assert its sovereignty over the island. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
