I love this map. ( Its Canada's Official land map)

Look at that map and notices that the legend has nothing labeled as the white area which takes up the majority of the land mass they call Canada.

If Canada's jurisdiction is a geographic area the map is proof that all lands in the white zone are not in Canada's geographical area.

The map is proof that the court needs consent or joinder to have jurisdiction over one.
