As a Dane living in Canada (10 years now) I actually got a bit emotional when this was resolved. The fact that my two home countries now have a land border is rather nice. It got a surprising amount of coverage in the news in both countries and I enjoyed it all.

It also kinda feels like this video was made just for me :) Loved it and your initial disbelief

@lornejames6482

I and a small group from the NWT  visited Hans Island to refuel while tracking some wildlife.  The Danes were there taking  down the Canadian flag.  We didn’t have a flag with  us  but used a a Calgary Flames hockey sweater and claimed this land for the Calgary Flames.  Danish tv  were course hockey fans so showed the special  in  Copenhagen

@richardcarscadden5321

This Canadian is just happy that we finally have a land border with a country we can actually trust.

@Stewart682

I served in Bosnia (I was in the Canadian army) with a Danish soldier for six months and we both kept trading jibes at each other over the silliness of the issue!!

@fantasticmio

I'm going to miss that adorable little "war" we were having with Denmark.

@janicengu1233

You may not be aware that Canada also shares a maritime border with France, the islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon which are an hour ferry ride from Fortune, Newfoundland. 
The approx 6k residents have French  citizenship, vote in French elections, euro is official currency, mainly  Metropolitan French is used as spoken in France, etc.

Thanks Tyler for all your videos. I learn a lot through watching them, and you make it fun!

@cathywithac

Canadian here.  Always thought that the whisky war was good fun. I had not realized the political and safety ramifications of not resolving the border until you showed the map of the Arctic and NATO countries on one side and Russia on the other.  I'm glad that it is resolved.

@dannydanish7050

Dane here! This is when mature adults solve their differences :) It might have been a bit silly but good old humor is the way to go and it is a lot funnier than actual war :) Most of the world could take a page from the whiskey war playbook. Glad to be neighbours with Canada :D

@donquixote1502

Some countries have a lesson to learn here. Canada and Denmark are two of the most civilized countries there are. ❤ Sweden

@kimcanadian9781

🇨🇦 Thank you from Canada we love our Danish Neighbors

@johniversen7067

As a Danish Canadian, and with my dad being named Hans, and my mom's maiden name being Hanson makes me proud of this.

@Microplancakes

I'm Canadian and obviously don't follow news very much because this is the first I've heard of this!!   It's so cool!!  I love sharing a border with Denmark!!!  I'm kinda loving it!!!

@Momcat_maggiefelinefan

We played a game with Denmark over Han Island for years. It involved flags and whiskey. Good, competitive fun between countries. 🇨🇦

@MadMikael

Hey, loved your video, Canadian here. I learned a few things here too... the saddest of which is that this "war" is now over.
As a kid in the 80s, I remember adults smiling as they told me about this war we were embroiled in... the whisky war. The story I was told was, each group of soldiers was leaving the whisky for the next group of soldiers, from the other country. It was more about leaving gifts; the raising of flags was a fun way of saying "this is our island", but the flags were always treated respectfully and stored properly. Where I'm from it was regarded as a big, friendly joke between allies - especially among the soldiers - in how this wasn't getting solved by the politicians. I don't think it was ever in danger of becoming a violent event.

@DullyDust

When "taking territory for principle alone" gets taken to the most wholesome note 😂❤

@kjholm8342

aww, I did not realized the Whiskey War was resolved! It was always a fun story to tell second hand. And yes, it was meant as a fun/polite/playful exchange between two countries - like best friends who tease each other with the same joke for 20 years.

@elizabethglenbentley7882

Tyler  this was brilliantly played! I'm Canadian  living in Denmark 🇩🇰 yes Danes like games but not confrontations, this was the best time to clinch the deal! Well done Canada 🇨🇦 and Denmark 🇩🇰 👏

@Mercure250

Just so you know, Denmark still has sovereignty over Greenland. It's just that Greenland has a lot of autonomy within Denmark now.

Also, you may have noticed they split the island 40-60 instead of 50-50. That's because there is a big crack on the island, and they figured that putting the border on such a significant landmark on the island would be nice, just to be able to easily tell where the border is when you go there.

@Guiboard

Nobody seem to mention that Canada and Denmark could be the shortest border in the world? Combined with the fact that Canada has the longest land border with USA, Canada could also have the shortest land border and that would be hilarious. Canada is at it again for being unique/quirky!
