Hmm Looks like Hans Island is closer to Canada than to Greenland to me but I'll be generous why don't we split it down the middle where the border already appears to be? If only the politicians were so sensible. It isn't like anyone is going to live there anytime soon.

Don't you canadians already have enough islands? :P

We can't split it though. We planted most flags on it ;)

lol, I just read that Wiki article.....

.... oh my, that does sound petty lol

It sounds sort of like the UK and the Faklands, except we atleast have british citizens living there. Not sure if that was worth going to war with Argentina over and losing a few hundred lives on each side.

Does Denmark really have soverignty over Greenland??? thats news to me.

But we have more indiginous troops patroling it. Did you take a look at that picture taken reportedly from one of your boats? The picture actually appears to be from a plane. What an unattractive piece of dirt. Might make a good gas station.

And yes Greenland is a Danish self-governed territory.

If we controlled the island we could control the waters between that and Greenland as the article says. This could be important if more ice melted further north as you might be able to fare to the pacific ocean north of canada by sea

You mean you could claim dominion of two thirds of the channel instead of just half? What a ridiculous idea. Canadians could use the same silly justification for us owning it. What possible difference would that make?

Oh yeah! Stop facilitating illegal immigration to Canada. A danish is something to be eaten, and not argued with. 8)

That story was truly bizarre and I'm just kidding around in the second half of the post.

We are pretty good allies I think though we don't know each other well. How about we merge our contries so you caould benefit from NAFTA and we would be part of the EU.

I love that Idea, although I doubt that many of the politicians on either side would be willing ;)

Why would it not be sensible to say that no-one owns that island?

Well if you look at the wikipedia article you can see that one person has already claimed to visit it and declare it an independent country.

Man, I made a lot of typos in that post.

By the way did you hear that Canada has just deployed Leopard tanks in Afghanistan? It is the first time Canadian tanks have been deployed since the Korean War. The Conservative minority government has an armed forces retooling plan and I guess they want to get some use out of the Leopards before they are retired from service. This whole Afghanistan business is a mess but when the UN comes calling Canada has usually answered.

Hence, I think the reason for deploying them, so they'll get shot up and have to be replaced. God bless those brave maniacs who will have to drive them around and be targets. Forty years of Liberal neglect have come to this.

I love living in Canada. Its a great place to live. You learn so much more because of all the nationalities based within a small area. We had Italian neighbors for about 3 years and in that time before Daria passed away and the rest of the family moved i learned quite a bit of the italian language and about Italy itself, and now we have a family from Ukraine living next door.

Also we have Tim Hortons and kick butt beer commercials that make you proud to be Canadian, no offense but lets see the US come up with something like that
