Depends...if the neighbour is a European country in North American territory ...no Greenland should be ours too

If Iran obtained Nukes I doubt very much they'd use them...it would guarantee that no country invades them or bombs them the minute they use their nukes is the second Tehran gets obliterated These people aren't as crazy as people make them out to be

http://www.tehrantimes.com/index.php/politics/4319-what-is-behind-the-rhetoric-about-war-on-iran Over the past few days, Western media outlets have created a brouhaha about the possibility that the Zionist regime may make a unilateral military strike against Iran. The commotion broke out last week after some Israeli media outlets reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking for cabinet support to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran. According to a report in the newspaper Haaretz, a high-ranking Israeli official has said that Netanyahu is seeking to build a consensus for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. However, Haaretz also reported that a number of Israeli military and intelligence officials are opposed to the plan to launch a strike on Iran. Later, The Guardian reported that the British armed forces have been ratcheting up contingency plans in response to a “new aggressiveness” in Iranian foreign policy and the belief that the U.S. may decide to launch targeted missile strikes against Iranian facilities. On November 4, Israeli President Shimon Peres said that the likelihood that the military option will be used to prevent Iran from obtaining “nuclear weapons” was increasing. Meanwhile, Israel recently test-fired a ballistic missile, purportedly capable of reaching Iran. It should be noted that the Israeli military, which is usually secretive about its activities, allowed media people to report on the event. What is the purpose of the commotion created by Western media outlets about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran? It is clear that a military attack on Iran cannot be a viable option for Israel. There are a number of good reasons to rule out the possibility of such a strike. (1) They know that a strike could not stop Iran’s nuclear program (which they claim would be the purpose of the strike), but it would justify Iran’s drive to acquire access to various types of weapons to defend itself. (2) Even Israeli and U.S. strategists, who believe that the strike could delay Iran’s nuclear program, say that the strike would only set back Iran’s program for two years, and thus it would not be worth the trouble to start a war with Iran. (3) Any attack against Iran would strengthen Iran’s national cohesion, and the Iranian people would call on officials to give a firm response to the Westerners. As a result, no one in Iran would support the opposition groups anymore, dashing the Westerners’ hopes to overthrow the Islamic system through providing support to the opposition. (4) Iran has shown that it is totally prepared to counter any military threat and is capable of involving regional and extra-regional countries in any possible war, so they know that any act of adventurism against Iran would be dangerous and that the stakes are high. (5) U.S. and Israeli intelligence and military officials do not believe that Iran’s nuclear program is their number one threat. They know that the Arab Spring is a much greater threat to their interests. So, what is the reason behind the new political game directed at Iran? It seems that the Israelis are trying to set the stage for the imposition of stricter sanctions on Iran, but the biggest obstacle is the fact that Russia, China, and some members of the European Union are strongly opposed to new sanctions. All this rhetoric about war is being used to compel these countries to stop opposing the moves to impose new United Nations Security Council sanctions on Iran, which they prefer to the outbreak of a dangerous war, which could have serious repercussions for the world.

an Israeli strike on Iranian nuke facilities will eventually bring a lot of countries into potential war we just had a decade of war...lets reboot for 10 years and go at 'er then okay peeps

I don't think the Danes would be too happy..

not saying its possible but it doesn;t make sense to have a france controlled island that close to Canada

Greenland would be worth a few trillion

its never going to change, I repeat NEVER going to change why fuss about it We have bigger things to be worried about

Even I don't think this is much of a story and I detest Ford name me one politician who never benefitted from being a politician circle another bloody story vultures

I did not know there was a little French owned island right off Newfoundland...should Canada and France get into it they could setup up there and bomb Canadian territory...unlikely yes but how come we haven't paid them for it yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon Saint Pierre and Miquelon (French: Collectivité territoriale de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ pjɛʁ e mikˈlɔ̃]) is a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France.[1] It is the only remnant of the former colonial empire of New France that remains under French control.[4] we should pay a couple billion or so for this land they basically rely on canada anyway and share more in common with canada than france

This must be the taliban trying to remain relevant, anyways, I don't believe them they suck at terrorist attacks in western countries but have no problem doing them in Asia and Africa odd eh? http://pakobserver.net/detailnews.asp?id=121774 London—The Taliban are planning a campaign of Christmas carnage in British cities, a warlord has warned. The Sun quoted Commander Javed Karmazkhel Wazir of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as claiming that 200 suicide bombers and assassins are ready to launch attacks. “We have prepared squads of holy warriors who will target people and government facilities in London and other big cities of the UK,” the paper quoted the Tliban commander as saying. And he said their recruits looked “liberal”, adding: “You will not see bearded men or veiled women doing this.” The TTP are furious at US President Barack Obama’s recent success in overseeing the death of Osama bin Laden. And the TTP now has a hit-list of its own—believed to include Obama himself. The TTP claimed responsibility for a 2009 suicide attack on the CIA and the attempted Times Square bombing in 2010. —INP

Why are you a troll? There are so many questions that remain unanswered We understand your kind though...you try to deflect from the topic because you are a weak man and would never win the argument

Canadians have to pay higher taxes, pay for high heating bills half of the year whereas most Americans live in a warmer climate The stuff we buy is 13-20 more % higher in Canada than U.S, cost of living is higher in Canada than in the U.S basically Those are just a few reasons why Americans donate more of their money than Canadians however it is not because we are cheap people

2nd lines been clicking 13 goals, 11 assists in 13 games thats better than a lot of number 1 lines on some teams

Its kind of ridiculous that world war 1 basically started with Austria - Hungary beefing with Serbia over an assassination Both those countries problems aren't worth the dirt on your shoes

Orders recognize significant achievements and remarkable service. Considering this is the definition to the Order of Canada I see nothing wrong with giving that honour to professional athletes, actors, actresses

Hes okay with a woman's right to choose because ultimately the woman is the one who has to make that choice even if the man wants her to have the baby she doesn't have to men should have no choice in the matter so I don't know why this is always an issue in politics I guess Canada is lucky that Harper wants to avoid the whole discussion altogether, pretty smart move imo

Actor Eugene Levy, former NHL star Trevor Linden, Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser and the CBC's Bob McDonald are among 39 Canadians invested in the Order of Canada Friday. So a few of the 39 are celebrities...the vast majority aren't so your dismay is invalid

Wanna know why Hitler loved Canadas Vimy Ridge mounument? because there were no tanks, guns, or soldiers on it...just people grieving, I view Rememberance day as remembering those who fallen ...not the job they did

Why all of this hysteria over one school boards decision?

If you claim you gave canada 600,000 jobs you have to also accept the blame when you lose them

Harpers a smart man, he knows better than to attack canadas social values...unlike the republicans in the U.S, I don't fear him in that regard

Brutal PK though and PP...good thing they are the leagues top team in scoring 5 on 5
