I would think that any nation calling it "international waters" is going to cause a lot of problems. Now that doesn't mean they should tax anyone that passes through, but fishing and port rights will obviously be part of it and there will probably be an agreement made through organizations such as the G8 or WTO to counter any threats to that exclusivity.
Basically it's just going to be negotiation time and Canada will come out the winner. IMHO.
Edit: why on earth was I down voted? Err, whatever. Sorry for my fact-based opinion. Loons.
