Engrossed Alaskan award signed as Canadians abstain
London reports the engrossed copy of the Alaskan award signed at 2 10 pm with Canadians declining to sign. The Portland channel award grants two islands Kannaghunut and Sitklan to the United States, blocking Canada access to Wales and Pears islands. The boundary favors the United States, creating a barrier from Port Land channel to Mount St. Elias and shaping future coastlines.
