Now that I think about it. Canada is a party to the 1856 Declaration of Paris via the United Kingdom. Technically speaking, the agreement was not to use privateers against other signatories. It was the Russian Empire, not the Russian Federation that signed. So there could be an argument (a weak one) that Canada could issue letters of marque targetting Russian ships.
Alright, maybe I stayed up too late watching the election, but the United States never signed the 1856 Declaration of Paris. This means that we could theoretically issue Letters of Marque to protect the North West Passage and have the ultimate Stan Rogers mashup.
