Denmark to annex the North Pole
No, this isn't a game of Europa Universalis. It appears Denmark is about to begin an attempt with the UN to annex the North Pole (geographic North Pole), along with a few other areas:

It is supposedly confirmed by the Danish Foreign Minister, but I can't read Viking:

Keep in mind this isn't the entirety of the Arctic, but certain areas, with the North Pole included in those.

Nuts to that, get the CC-177's fired up and airdrop a bunch of our troops up there with CF-18's providing cover.

Alright. Gear up Canadian Forces, we are going to annex the entirety of the Arctic before the Danes can get their hands on it!

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

No one honestly doesn't think we could put the boots to Denmark? C'mon, we must have more jam than that.
Moot point anyways, don't think either country has the ability to transport a good chunk of troops that far.

Not really, that big fat 8th grader has it's own agenda and claims for the north.

Personally, I think we'd feed them their lunch (mainly horse meat).
Seriously though, I would love it if they sent a ship up there and we blew it out of the water. Canada should start taking a "don't eff with us" attitude. People talk about need weapons and toys to protect our arctic sovereignty, but posture and attitude is number one. All the F-35s in the world won't help you if they are just for show and everyone knows it.

We have about 6 times the population of Denmark with about 6 times the people availiable for for military service. Their only obvious advantage is that they have manditory training at age 18 for adult males from 4 to 12 months depending on what they are trained for.
Canada should have an advantage in actual combat experience.

Denmark is a member of NATO. There's absolutely zero chance we'll get into a shooting war with them; this will be settled entirely by diplomats.
