No, this is not a post about curling.  But it would be easy to assume that by the title.

Curling rivalry is now the least of our worries.  As Canada is now occupying Denmark!  Bill Graham, Canada's foreign minister landed on Hans Island.  A year ago or so, the Danes sent a ship there and left a Danish flag and Graham left a Canadian Inuit stone carving.  Touche, I say.

I had the pleasure of living in Denmark for almost 6 months. It is a great place to live.  But many Canadians know very little about Denmark.  Perhaps people here think, hey we can take these guys on.  But Denmark is an interesting place.

For example, they have a Royal military regiment that guards their palaces.  The regiment has hearts carved into its sentry shelter.    Like this:


But they have naval ships that look like this:


Can we take them?
