We don’t need America to facilitate euro/Canadian trade. It will be hard but economically speaking Europe and Canada could probably achieve quality of life parity and cut out the US with significant effort. Tbf I don’t exactly see my life getting super great anytime soon waiting on the Americans to grow up…. Maybe less luxury now will feel better in five or ten years when we get used to it and the Americans are still floundering.

And we should give it
Our interests are aligned on this issue. The US is trying to intimidate and bully. They are threatening other countries’ sovereignty and they will do the same next with Canada. No one country can stand alone against the US but we can more effectively do so as a coalition.
We need to start building small bases in the far north NOW. We need to increase our presence using monitoring stations and air and sea drones. We need to partner with our Indigenous population that has a lot of credibility with the population of Greenland.
It’s time to stop Trump’s idea of American exceptionalism and manifest destiny. The world is not his to do as he wishes.

Canada should support self determination for whoever it is. In fact, I’d argue that Alberta separatists should be the biggest supporters of any given group of people being allowed to decide what’s best for themselves! If the majority of Greenlanders don’t want to be American, this is their prerogative.

Of course. My only thought is where was this level of outrage and support for us when they were saying they were going to make us the 51st state?

In all seriousness, this is like when a couple 70 pound kids think they have a chance against the 160 pound bully on the playground
America has 19 aircraft carriers, it won’t even be a contest

Canada is working on independence after colonization already, so why not speak up and use this as leverage to grow?

He will destroy all of the diplomatic relationships and bankrupt his country. It blows my mind how he got re-elected.

Well, we could borrow/print money to send to you through NGOs. That’s usually how we help our allies.
