    Dividing Hans Island was the worst resolution. Now we have to have border guards and a fence there to stop all the Danish illegal immigrants from sneaking over the border, smuggling pastries and tekkin ur jerbs. :(

      Ah, but now we have a land border with Denmark as well as a ferry connection to France, and our borders are no longer in dispute.

      Our EU application should be in good shape!

          I’m picturing a future now where Hans Island is a major travel hub because it’s the one land border between Canada and an EU country, and for some technical reason there’s a circumstance where you want to walk across the border.

              It is a very small island in the artic and is a real bitch to get to. I was on a boat that stopped to take the schnapps and flag. Captain kept it.
