Dividing Hans Island was the worst resolution. Now we have to have border guards and a fence there to stop all the Danish illegal immigrants from sneaking over the border, smuggling pastries and tekkin ur jerbs. :(

Ah, but now we have a land border with Denmark as well as a ferry connection to France, and our borders are no longer in dispute.

Our EU application should be in good shape!

Canada joining the shengen would be a hilarious addition to the timeline

I'm picturing a future now where Hans Island is a major travel hub because it's the one land border between Canada and an EU country, and for some technical reason there's a circumstance where you want to walk across the border.

my father and his side are all Danish, I'm first born Canadian on that side. Would be kinda cool to walk across after hearing stories about grandpa and dads boat trip here

It is a very small island in the artic and is a real bitch to get to. I was on a boat that stopped to take the schnapps and flag. Captain kept it.

We would fit in... Probably better than we fit in with the US lol

Canada and Denmark agreed to end their border dispute after Russia invaded Ukraine and took the fun out of border disputes.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Has! The formal end of the dispute was to cut the island in half. There is actually a land border, about 1km long.

This is the pillar our EU membership rests on

Clearly, I need to find a Dane to get in a fight with. I could use a drink. :P

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do Not go up against a Dane for drinks. They will absolutely crush you.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's to be a war of drinking stereotypes we could deploy the Newfies.
