Unbeknownst to some of us, Canada has opened up a grand consulate in Greenland – h/t ‘Orson’.
It is not clear whether one has to make land acknowledgements, profess to the Woke religion, kiss a trans-woman, and attest to how much you hate the Orange Man, before entering this facility.
When do the ChiCom submarine bases open up?
Canada is a proxy for China, like North Korea.
Canada is there to interfere with US operations in Greenland.
The US, like Israel, is being othered and will suffer the same fate: dismemberment.
Pssssst….Canada is, also, in the process of opening up a consulate in Anchorage, Alaska.
Looking forward to the day Canada has to open a consulate in Calgary.
Yessssss!!!!
There is an American Consulate in Calgary, I’ve seen some riff raff in this area in the past decade, and note it’s probably for the best that they have an ICE Office in the consulate…

What are we going to defend it with? Curling rocks?
Curling brooms have greater reach and are easier to handle for men without chests.
Statista says there are 19 Canadian citizens living in Greenland.

The Canadian Consulate there appears to be for show, and about the 1000th additional waste of tax dollars we’ve seen in the past decade… clearly not being of value to anyone, taking up space, and above all in the garbage gov’t of Canada’s “braintrust” … it’s an expenditure of additional carbon outlays with no upside whatsoever.
That particular consulate is to run interference. They will leverage the Inuit connection and play up climate change to present an obstacle to mining and resource farming. All the while, Canada will insist to the US that their physical presence is a first step in security on Arctic claims. You have to ask the question then; Why are they just establishing a physical presence now? Two reasons.
Spite mostly. And a foothold on the region to leverage out defense funds from the US (that will be squandered lobbying against any sort of mining efforts) which will never be used for that purpose in a substantive way.
The consulate planned for Anchorage Alaska is, also, under the pretense of protecting the sovereignty of the Arctic claims. But, as in Greenland, you’ll find Inuit in Alaska as well. And, I suspect Carney thinks he’ll be able to invoke a similar strategy there. Develop a relationship with the Inuit in the region, and use Climate Change and Inuit presence as an obstacle on further resource farming.
I don’t think either location is going to be able to develop the influence required to be of any concern. The consulate in Greenland will be ignored. And, the first overstep in Alaska will result in suitcases sitting on the curb, with an Uber on the way.
Meh… like… 100 people attending.
I watched the video, really hoping for jet wash.
It’s great though isn’t it? Really great.
The French did the same, so I’m guessing this is that “Middle Strength” thing, which couldn’t do a sit-up if it tried.
Send turdo there with Mary Simon. They can muktuk each other.
You’re right, Greenland needs high profile people to ward off the Orange menace. That’ll show him.
So
They will share office space with Iceland, they still haven’t got the office up and running, and they didn’t allow the attendant court followers inside.
It’s reminiscent of the flag raising when they reopened the Ukraine embassy.
As an aside I pity the poor low level bureaucrats that get assigned to this consulate
Instead of a consulate why didn’t we send a company of infantry to keep an eye on the US Space cadets. We could guard them from all those invading Chinese.
You want to send half the Canadian army to Greenland?
Or we could send a couple hundred Canadian Rangers from Nunavut who can swear well enough in English to tell the Americans every day what ignorant racist bastards they are.
All the world’s a stage….
Some day Alberta will take it over.
Can we close and consolidate the one in New York, so that we only have one person representing us to both New York City and The UN HQ in New York city?
Similarly do we really need one in Rome, and one for the Holy See, which is 1 Square Mile of Rome?
Well, we probably do. The Holy See has its own government and is a very different business from the Republic of Italy, so the two offices would be doing very different jobs. Might as well specialize.
