The Canadians make their move! In time, Switzerland will finally make its claims to Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America!

Indeed... although i find it odd that i would not have a problem with the Swiss in control of the planet... meh

[DavidUpton]

The Swiss wouldn't do that. When was the last time they got involved in any foreign affairs?

[Blame Canada]

Here in Denmark there is also work in progress to claim the arctic. In fact I think we should not stop there... let's reclaim England, Northern Germany, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, New Foundland, Iceland and The Virgin Islands. :D

edit: Oh, and Normandy too.

[Captain Miller]

Shame that nobody's going to clam the rest of France. Even France.

"In 1984, Denmark caused a stir by raising a flag on Hans Island, one of the islands south of the North Pole, buried a bottle of brandy at the base of the flagpole and left a note saying "Welcome to the Danish island"."

i lol'd

"Peter McKay, the Canadian foreign minister, said last week: "Look this isn't the 15th century. You can't go around the world and just plant flags and say 'we are claiming this territory'."

QFT :) Putin really was taking the piss with that one. 'Assertive' foreign policy my arse.

love this quote!
gotta love those crazy ruskies they know that canada doesnt have subs so we cant remove it...we could always ask politely to remove it...

[Kaos]

And I just read that the Danes are also jumping on the bandwagon making their own effort to claim sovereignty. What have the Russians started...

poor quebec

I thought this was international law, that nations get 200 km of sea from their coast line. There's no way the northwest passage is international waters, it's Canadian territory! What about through all those islands in Indonesia, is the sea in there international waters?

Oh and Canada has 4 submarines (although the last I saw was the HMCS Chicoutimi in drydocks...), but none that can plant flags in the water.

[Thanato]

Trust me the Canadian Forces has the capability to take out any threat to our Soverignty.

[uselessoak]

[OliverMarshall]

switzerland vs EU will be World War III. All swiss males are in the army, we will invade europe in a rolling tide of 4 million men throwing cheese and riding cows

[-X-Sublime]

wow i would be scared of the swiss army

[PF-Kenny]

Denmark sent a letter of protest to Ottawa, while the Canadians and Danes took out competing Google ads, each proclaiming sovereignty over the rock.Best line ever

No, no, no. The lands east of a meridian located 370 leagues west of the Canaries belong to Portugal, those falling on the western side belong to Spain.
