Good comments on the @althiaraj column on big mean Carney
Is Carney’s leadership style ruffling feathers in the Liberal caucus? https://t.co/Tz5YssvU5n via @YouTube
During a hearing in the U.S. Congress today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked whether he was aware that Greenland is part of Denmark. His response was: “For now.”
It is worth recalling a few basic facts.
Greenland’s future is for the Greenlandic people to decide, in accordance with the 2009 Self-Government Act, which recognizes the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination. That decision will not be made in Washington, but in Greenland.
Until the Greenlandic people decide otherwise, Greenland remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark. This status is recognized under international law, where respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity is among the most fundamental principles of the international order.
Greenland is also part of NATO through the Kingdom of Denmark. The United States has maintained a significant military presence in Greenland for decades and at one point operated up to 17 military bases and installations across Greenland. Under the 1951 Defense Agreement between Denmark and the United States, later updated through the 2004 Igaliku Agreement, signed in Igaliku, Greenland, by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, Denmark and Greenland, the United States already has the ability to establish or reopen military facilities in Greenland in cooperation with Denmark and Greenland.
There is therefore no security rationale that justifies discussions about American ownership of Greenland.
The idea of purchasing territories or acquiring parts of sovereign countries belongs to another era. That is not how modern allies conduct themselves in the 21st century.
If members of the U.S. administration believe that such statements enjoy broad support among the Greenlandic people, they are gravely mistaken. Political signals from Greenland have repeatedly shown that Greenlanders expect their right to determine their own future to be respected.
Neither Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, nor any future American president should decide Greenland’s future.
That right belongs exclusively to the Greenlandic people, in accordance with the Self-Government Act and the international principle of self-determination.
Greenland’s future belongs to the people of Greenland. Not Washington. Not any other capital. The decision belongs to the Greenlandic people — and to them alone. Period.
@USAmbCanada Then you wonder why Canadians don’t travel south or don’t want to purchase American spirits. Mocking and ridiculing doesn’t make Canadians warm up to Americans.
Pride is about the ongoing fight for equality and protection for 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Creating inclusive spaces means listening, learning, and standing up for discrimination so everyone can live openly, freely, and safely. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@postition@MelissaLantsman Thank you Penny for this question, it’s sad how being Conservative means Pride is ignored by every single CPC MP. Melissa should be ashamed.
@lindsaygay@fordnation As an atheist I’m sick of xmas, easter, being pushed down our throats. Be christian, believe in god but do it in the privacy of your home. See how stupid that sounds.
Don’t like it don’t participate, that’s exactly what I do.
“Trump has wrecked it. He has debased the People’s House with the aesthetic sensibilities of a pimp turned bankrupt casino operator and reality television performer, who confuses excess for greatness and spectacle for dignity. It’s appalling.”

How stupid are these people? They hate Canada and hate being Canadian but they can’t stand the thought of losing their Canadian passport.
Guess that’s because it’s great to be Canadian!!
@RiseOfAlberta How stupid are you? You hate Canada, you hate being a Canadian citizen but you want to remain Canadian. You do know that Canada can revoke your Canadian passport and not allow dual citizenship.
