SpankyMcFarland Posted January 18, 2025 Report Posted January 18, 2025 Should we let Trump bid on NWT or Nunavut while he’s at it? I’d say China is watching these developments with interest. 1 Quote ‘How small we make our worlds. Gather them in, tighten them up into little castles of fear.’
herbie Posted January 18, 2025 Report Posted January 18, 2025 The guy's so brainwashed with Ferengi capitalism he thinks countries should and will sell their territory for cash. And he'll be running the richest place in the world and advised by similarly minded billionaires. What a f*cking recipe for disaster. 1 Quote

"About 12% of the population of Greenland speaks Danish as a first or sole language, particularly Danish immigrants in Greenland, many of whom fill positions such as administrators, professionals, academics, or skilled tradesmen. While Greenlandic is dominant in all smaller settlements, a part of the population of Inuit or mixed ancestry, especially in towns, speaks Danish. Most of the Inuit population speaks Danish as a second language. In larger towns, especially Nuuk and in the higher social strata, this is still a larger group." Quote

August1991 Posted January 25, 2025 Author Report Posted January 25, 2025 Trump is correct. America could hold a referendum and buy Greenland. Heck, America with a referendum could buy our Northern Territories It bought Alaska - without a vote. Quote

Did you even comprehend what I just wrote? It's states clearly that most people in Greenland speak Danish. It's like Montreal. Only a small minority speak English as a first language, but most people in Montreal are bilingual. It's the same thing in Nunavut. 4 minutes ago, August1991 said: Trump is correct.

Most people in Greenland do not speak Danish well. And I think that many people in Greenland have no allegiance to Denmark, just as many people in our northern territories have no allegiance to Canada. Ontario is not Canada. Quote

Do you thing the US should hold referendums in Quebec? It bought Alaska because Russia decided to sell it to them. Denmark has told Trump to take a hike. Edited January 25, 2025 by Aristides 1 Quote
