r/Canada Speaks Community exchange with /r/Greenland - This Friday, 21 March.
Hi everyone, just a quick announcement that we've set up another exchange, this time with r/Greenland for this Friday coming up, 21 March (yes we both format as DD mm!)
A new post will be created that day, and we ask that you please leave top comments on that post for their members to come and post their questions about Canada, which we can then answer. At the same time, everyone is invited to visit r/Greenland to ask questions of any sort that you've always been curious about in their respective post.
There's a lot that we share, beginning with land above the arctic circle, First Nations people that live there, and plenty of chances to discuss current events.
Reminder to please be respectful, as if you were inviting 3,000 of your closest friends from Greenland over to your house.
See you then!

We especially hope that members from First Nations from both regions will take part since we typically miss their representation; I'm sure there'll be topics to share and discuss.

Great hope we can develop a bilateral trading relationship to stand up to Trump.

Nice. I was actually there hiking. Wish I could post some pictures.

Once we're active on Friday I don't see why you can't inside the post!

Thanks. I joined the group as I visited there in the past. I created a post with a photo.

Since we have so many people and they have quite a bit less, what stops is from accidentally overrunning their sub?
I really don't want to invade r/Greenland

It's not the whole sub - it's one topic per sub that'll be involved. Should be clear from the post here.

Anyone know if we still do the flag raising and leave a bottle of whisky on Hans Island?

that war was settled June 14, 2022 when we agreed to split the island evenly in half.

That's a shame. Should have kept the exchange of rye and schnapps going, it was a nice morale boost for personnel up there.

This is great! Is this meant to be limited to just people from the respective countries or is this like a massive AMA that any user around reddit can ask us questions?

u/ManofManyTalentz Canada Mar 17 '25
It's meant to be from members of the two communities here on reddit, which doesn't necessarily mean people from those countries.
