There's an interesting squabble brewing on the east coast, on the border between New Brunswick and Maine. In short, US companies would like to take huge liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships through waters claimed by the Canadian government. The development is opposed by some local residents on the grounds that the LNG ships are much, much larger than the freighters that currently frequent those waters, and that the narrows in the area are too small for the ungainly LNG tankers.
