Hans Island sits between Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland, which is owned by Denmark.
We have been fighting with Denmark for ages about who actually owns the small rock.
It has always appeared to be in our territory.
The Star reported this morning that new mapping technology has actually found that the line splitting Canadian and Danish territory runs down the middle of Hans Island.
In other words, half of it is ours and half of it is theirs.
The fight for the island is expected to continue, but I don't think it has to.
Why can't we be Canadian about it? Let them have their half and we'll take our half. We'll draw a line down the middle and keep to our own sides. It's no different really than sharing North America with the U.S. There's a piece of land, we'll split it up.
I just hope this doesn't hurt my bid to become the first-ever Journalist Laureate of Hans Island.
