Denmark is a much better environmental steward and should keep Greenland. As the Northwest passage opens, they will of course see a lot of traffic by the aggressive world powers US, China and Russia. I would hope that the US has not just lost it's welcome to do business.

Watching Morning Joe this morning, so is Trump apparently. They are jerking his chain real good today, it's dangerous to bait an evil unstable lunatic, though it is fun...

Canada owns the northwest passage and anything but trade shipping must first obtain permission to navigate through it. So stop or...........well you’ll see lol.

How on earth can anybody watch that? Those two are so stuck-up it's ridiculous. Seriously. They define the term 'elitist snob'.
Better than Fox and friends, I find it entertaining and figure they are trying to appeal to the largest audience of reasonable people. These guys are definitely trying to represent the vanishing "center" of the country and the network is trying to steer the democrats to the right. There seems to be a hope of persuading republicans and those undecided to either stay home, leave the top of the ticket blank, or vote democrat. All in all they are on the right side of this war on America conducted by Russia, the republicans and above all Trump and represent mainstream American ideals if not values. As for being "stuck up" that would appear to be a personal judgement on your part, I don't see much evidence of it, to be a celebrity is part of their job (it also pays very well). Besides, Joe did give Mitch McConnell the nickname "Moscow Mitch", that I understand he hates and fears. They also advocate for patriotism, the constitution and the rule of law, so they're OK by me.

They're just so stuck up and snobbish I can't even look at them, let alone listen to them.

Then again, that's why it's got a rating of 2.6/10 on TV.com and 4.3/10 on IMD.

They both remind me of the stuck up snobs that drove Jaguars to high school and put dimes in their penny loafers.

Yes, I am aware, but as it opens, many ports along the way will see heavily increased traffic, especially Greenland as it is resource rich. My concer is for the environment as Canada is terrible on environmental issues, in total not as bad as the US and far from China but Canada has a much smaller population and a smaller economy.

I don't think that Canada will impose any limitations on US Naval movements as it would be seen as an invitation to Russian and Chinese fleets to come on in.

Actually I was trying to be humorous lol. Canada is in discussions with the other arctic nations to who if anyone actually controls the passage as it allows passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. They launched a protest against the US for the military use of the passage. And yes once Denmark closes the coal fired coal plants they have they will be well on their way to totally renewable power generation.

England is not far away from full renewable power either. Australia was doing OK in converting (not great but OK) but the Conservative party that got elected put the breaks on.

Good time for countries to build the new green infrastructure with the declining economies that trumps caused around the world. Yes it will create more debt short term but infrastructure builds pay themselves back fairly well.
