Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

Wrong. Completely wrong. Canada *does* need to be 'performative'. It's called leadership. Upholding democratic norms is done by vocal support and action, not going mute when things get tough out of cowardice and self preservation.
Canada doesn't need to be performative. The EU is making a statement because they need to demonstrate their unity and strength.

This is not a good move. If Greenland falls, Canada is next. Canada needs to stand with Europe so that if the time comes, they will stand with us.
