It's already a regular and totally acceptable thing and has been for a long time, it's so acceptable that nobody really even bothers to talk about it, but it is certainly reasonable to expect it to happen a lot more -- more often, more widely, and more quantity, and I look forward to it. Canada's got some new icebreakers rolling off the line right now, in partnership with Finland. We're already a team, we're just going to be working together even more now.

How do Europeans feel

We feel very diverse and far away from each other, but...

about having a federated army stationed in Canada and Greenland

...but in general we are much less trigger happy than people on the american continents, and most times we don't feel our armies at all.

I think Europeans tend to be more similar than we realize, but our views on military is a big exception. We have very different histories and geographical distance to Russia. Those of us bordering Russia tend to value a strong defence, Spaniards tend to think it's completely unnecessary and many of them don't seem to care too much about what is going on in eastern Europe. Those with a recent history of invasion probably see military differently from those with a recent history of civil war and totalitarianism.

As a Scandinavian I pretty much see Canada as an extension of the Nordics. Cooperating with them makes all the sense in the world. We already have a Nordic Defence Cooperation and I'd be happy to see Canada join.

As a Norwegian I feel uncomfortable about Greenland. My ancestors left there hundreds of years ago, and Denmark has no remotely legitimate claim of the land whatsoever. It certainly needs security guarantees today, and we should offer them, but we shouldn't get any ideas of ownership. Many Danes seem to think they have rightful ownership of the land because their tax money pays for welfare there. That's obviously an absurd claim. We should back them up any way we can while also leaving their destiny to the Greenlanders.

We could start with danish, french and british troops establishing bases in Canada with nordic troops in Greenland.

Danish troops (which are Nordic troops) would probably prioritize having its bases on its territory of Greenland.

All for it, but I think also a big part would be combatting hybrid warfare. A counterresponse to that is sorely needed.

Large-scale closure of bot and troll farms, or attacking them, legislation to make algorithms no longer favour fascist polarisation, addressing housing shortages etc...

I'm not really cheering for all the war and military build-up at its current extent. I think it's a big waste of resources. And taxpayer money, which we should probably spend on useful stuff. Idk, kids, education system, energy transition...

Probably a necessary evil, though. The good (sane) side absolutely needs to prevail and stand united against evil, the dictators, oligarchs and warmongering a-holes. Feels good to see how there's still a broad alliance of countries who still value friends and collaboration and freedom.

I wish I could be Canadian to help you guys 😭
