We have so many other outstanding disputes with them. The biggest emerging dispute is likely to be over control of routes through the increasingly-ice-free Arctic Ocean, where no one spent much time resolving what the rules were because ships couldn't get through in the pre-global-warming era.
And don't get us started on the Northwest Angle , and the other American exclaves that belong to us but access to which Canadians keep firmly in their wicked little grips.

Canada has traditionally shared its benefits well, but today your profile overseas is waning badly. Professors, students and publics are literally less able to see the excellent lessons Canada has to share. We are trying to do what we can to spread the word about Canada but it is overdue to think again about how Canada meets the world. As the Mexican community of Canadianists grows, more Mexicans are interested in issues related to Canada. Canada's policies on climate change, renewable energy, water sanitation and consumption, are seen by the Mexican authorities and society as an example to follow.
In the past few years in Mexico, with the help of the Canadian government, we have been building a strong international community of Canadianists. Recently, however, with the budget cuts to Mexican associations of Canadian Studies, the interest of students and academics in Canadian studies has declined. There is the need for new strategies in order to form the new generation of Canadianists that can be ready to answer to the changes and challenges happening in the world and in the global academic community.

This is particularly the case regarding American technological achievements and entertainment but also true in some publics — and especially those in the Asia-Pacific region — when it comes to evaluating American universities or its military.
