How Canada Just Got a Land-Border With Denmark 

Back to hockey wars

As a dane i could not agree anymore😅

Yhaaa! I was also thinking what the hell wee were doing. I will still offer you some good Danish snaps

Actually the island belongs to Norway. As Greenland (with Island and Fareo Islands) was stolen from the Norwegians. We sent som guys over to occupy back it one time in the 1920s or 30'. I would say the claim still stand.

now we can set up a proper boarder outpost, a couple folks could meet up there for a picnic every once in a while, bringing their passports to go to the other side.

As Mexican, south border, I can say: HELP!! Our governament is getting autoritarian, more corrupt and dangerous. Our country is more insecure every day and is the State's fault. Our current president openly and publicly threaten our democracy at least once (but luckily not able to end it so). Middle class is almost erradicated because social movility is just going down. Don't want to let PEMEX (Petroleos Mexicanos) die because is a (fake) Soberany thing, even if red numbers are above -100% keeping our taxes going to a bottomless pit, not including the money that simply disappear.

We should unify tbh

Who says there can't be a regular tradition of exchanging bottles that is even more friendly now? Have the foreign ministers or what have you head up there, set up a table straddlig the border, do the bottle exchange, and then kick back and shoot the breeze for a while. Get that tradition going, keep Canada and Denmark intact for a century or two, and keep the tradition going. Next thing you know, people have forgotten what it was all about and successor nations controlling the area continue the tradition.... :)

If you count in marine borders, we share one with France...

RLL was wrong in stating the island is useless. It is used by the indigenous inhabitants of both Greenland and Nunavut while hunting. And has been for centuries.

You are going to regret it when we Danes launch an invasion from Hans island. We can just about fit all our soldiers on our half of the island. We can see you eyeing our incredible schnapps, so we will take your maple syrup!

Real quick question... Can I build on that rock or it consider uninhabitable by the government for each side? Wouldn't it be better if each side builds something special on it to just continue the 'fight'? Like building in height or something. Maybe even offer some kind of reason to keep it in the news to continue to rub it in Putin's face. Lol

Me and the boys were just out for a rip behind the silo, soon as I seen that warship on the horizon, I just aboot jumped a Davie over a Susie since she was so large eh. Crazy big, never seen anything like it in ages. Anyway, finished my smoke and told the boys to saddle up the polar bears, we were going to war. They said that's fine and dandy eh. Here we are, in the mariana trench or whatever of Hans island, it's important to do your part eh.

The sailors sailing on them, loved them. We had frigate sized OPV's in the area as well. But I guess the navy didn't expect much resistance in this case.. lol. They've been replaced today.

Don't you mess with our little Viking warship 😂

This was far from a FRIENDLY dispute. If it really was, either of these countries should have gladly given the island to the other. The fact that they settled it by splitting a 1200 sq meters island is the depiction of how unrelenting & cheap both the countries were. On the contrary India gave away 1 island to Srilanka (Katchatheevu Islands) & 1 island to Myanmar (Coco Islands) for free, without bullying those 2 tiny countries. That's how big hearted & civilized countries behave.

Sorry to say it but you are incorrect. The official name of Denmark is "The kingdom of Denmark" and it includes greenland and the Faroe Islands even though they have some amount of self governance. What you are stating is the same as saying Hawaii, alaska, guam etc. are not a part of the US

@@TheRealBedintruder When you speak of the USA, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa etc have a difference status than Hawaii, Alaska or any of the other 50 states or the District of Columbia so that is not a Apples to Apples comparison. You would be better off comparing Kingdom of Denmark vs Denmark or Greenland with other places with similar structures the UK, the Nederlands etc

I think Queen Margerethe and Queen Elizabeth should settle the discussion once for all over tea! technically speaking in a sorta similar vein Canada is part of the Commonwealth.

@@ShipinPro I do not understand what discussion you want settled between these two parties? Just as British Queen Elisabeth, Danish Queen Margrethe the second are not allowed to direct state political opinions and/or negotiate political issues. Culturally I believe that Elisabeth as commonwealth regal means a lot less for Canadians than our Queen do to us, but that are another talk. In Denmark the PM regularly meets and report to our Queen that also have to sign all democratically decided laws before they can become law. just as the British PM meets Elisabeth but to my knowledge Trudeau do not have to report to Elisabeth about Canada´s ongoing business. My suggestion regarding a fast deep cooperation between Denmark and Canada regarding energy transition from fossil fuels to green alternatives to a very high degree would benefit from top governmental dialogue and cooperation to pave the way for including private investors should Canada so which. It is not much more than a decade ago where windmill projects often were subsidised in some respects (although not in the massive way fossil fuels still are in some nations), recently investors are investing with money up front and subsidisation have seized, all due to the massive improvements of energy outputs mega off shore windmills have. The sectors solutions simply are good investments in a free market in itself. The German government, for reasons that forever will be hard for me to understand unless I factor in corruption inside the top of the German government at the time (I suggest any start by looking at Gerhard Schrøder that went from top of gov to a new job for POOtin´s Gasprom negotiating with his - just three days earlier - own parliamentarian colleagues to build Nordstream 2), decided to become deeply dependent of Russian gas while they COULD have made the deal with Denmark they now have and avoided being in such a tight spot now. HAD Germany done that they would have had access to plenty of hydrogen today and their car industry could have taken a worldleading position in hydrogen engine driven cars. There are not enough rare earth materials to support even 25% of the world driving battery cars. BUT hydrogen cars, that resemble the handling of a gasoline driven basically can be thrown in the oven and new cars and engines can be built from the old thus fitting perfectly in the circular sustainable green economy where growth does not equal further global planetary ecosystem disruptions. As soon as the German government (finally) realised their grave mistakes and they politically were ready to act, a deal was not far away. (Ukraine was invaded 24th of Feb 2022 and North Sea summit deal a few weeks ago! Denmark have been pushing for this for some time, but took an invasion to do the right economically and environmental deal) I seriously hope Trudeau and his government reads this and calls our PM, Mette Frederiksen and set up some fast meetings. IF Canada's needs in this transition process NOW can be incorporated in the the overall production needs (just remember the North Sea summit deal will create the worlds largest orders in the sector and new plants will have to be made or existing greatly expanded) in the sector it will be cheaper and faster for both parties. When it comes to planning to use parts of your sea for green energy production pre-approval of this in itself removes 10 years of red tape and allows projects to be investigated much much faster. Imagine a private company beginning from scratch to plan for a off shore sea spot to place a windmill park! They will often have to go into a decade long dialogue before they even can begin to make environmental investigation of seabeds etc. IF the Canadian government fx decides to pre investigate the seabed for optimal places for the parks they can then sell the right to use these areas afterwards just as if a municipality sells a bare piece of undeveloped land versus a plot that have sewage/water and electricity included. Sorry if a little long but hope it gave some insight into why I urged the Canadian government to step up and act. LEAD the way and you can become your continents first movers and make much more sound, for Canada and Canadians, business than if you wait. The planet are responding more and more to the abuse generations before us laid the ground for. WE have the knowledge AND the solutions to keep our lifestyle IF we transitions to sustainable energy production and usage now.

Amen.

I wouldn't call that a conflict between nations.

@@Chameleonred5 They deployed military units to seize islands from each other.

@@j4s0n39 Individual units in the military decided to ignore direct orders and common sense alike, and even if combat truly began the actions of the people on the ground would've likely been disavowed on both sides. It was a conflict between individuals, not nations.

@@Chameleonred5 All conflicts are between individuals. These individuals were part of the US and British militaries. There were many people in the US government who wanted to use small disputes like this to grab Canadian territory. "54 40 or fight" was still a popular idea in the 1850s. Had the south not seceded, the Pig War would probably have turned into a hot war.

@@j4s0n39You misunderstand. These individuals were not acting on behalf of their respective governments. Although they had authority within the military, they deliberately ignored or tried to work around their instructions *not* to start a war over a dead pig. A particular big-name US general had to go over and make them stop, and various higher-ups were all alarmed by the "argument" over the pig. Neither nation (defined as collective mindset of those in power) actually wanted a war, and the context that they learned about the situation actually had them actively trying to back down. Whether or not the war _may_ have turned hot (I give it 50-50 odds), it was never a conflict of nations at any actual point and never became one. If we want to be technical, it was a conflict between insubordinate, borderline traitors. The diplomats could probably have ensured that there were no issues by mutually disavowing the aggressive idiots. Regardless, the situation remained peaceful enough that having "a peaceful border for centuries" is at the very least technically correct.
