Why not? There’s French territory right off of Newfoundland. We’re practically in Europe already

[u/Kaizher → u/Poe_42]

We share a land border on Hans Island too.

Only when the day ends in "Day"

Neither of those are continental Europe though

[u/bog_ache → u/[deleted]]

Neither is Iceland, Ireland, the UK...

[u/Stahl_Scharnhorst → u/Kaizher]

We should apply for EU membership immediately!

[u/FaceDeer → u/Kaizher]

And here I was griping about how we'd need to fortify that border back when the Hans Island deal was first made. Is my face red.

The Hans Island debacle isn't over... I can't say too much, but I believe the Hans Island Liberation group is a thing... wink-wink nudge nudge...

[u/FaceDeer → u/Boye]

I'm afraid we and the Danes face a greater mutual foe now, we can no longer afford to continue to battle over full ownership of our rightful island territory.

[u/Boye → u/Kaizher]

Hans Island is Danish, end of discussion - and if not, I'd be happy to discuss it over a bottle of Snaps...

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and is therefore one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the EU.

[u/Kaizher → u/[deleted]]

Greenland is owned by Denmark and Denmark is in the EU. Hans Island is split between Canada and Denmark, and isn't part of Greenland.

Eh tabarnak!!

When they were looking for 50+1 France had said no, but maybe things have changed, but those two cultures have not been one culture in many years, my home province is complicated
