This island clearly belongs to Denmark. We know that for a fact because the Danish troops in Iraq told us it was and we didn't hear a single word from the Canadian troops. So, it's settled.
Which country has fewer French?
There's no contest here.
The Inuit had a name for it long before the Danes showed up and called it "Hans" Island.
By the way the Vikings had a colony in Newfoundland established by Lief Erikkson.
A viking killed a member of the Innu tribe over an argumenent concerning a stolen cow and the Innu kicked their asses all the way to Greenland and harassed them until the last Viking ate the last steer and starved to death leaving his story carved into the posts of the stable.
So much for the Vikings and the Danes will be lucky to hold onto Greenland. The Greenlanders hate thier guts.
National pride over a distant possession.... just that simple....
Simple solution...
award it to whomever can develop it most efficently...
get out the quadrotritacale.
