Please expand it to Canada too. We need a real alternative to Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

Canada has interac for debit no? Could that same system be used for credit transactions?

Canada shares a land border with Denmark and a maritime border with France.

I think that is sufficient to include them in any extended EU schemes.

(To the degree that they want it, of course)

France shares a land border with Brazil, we should get them into the EU as well.

[โ€“] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I can support this.

Brazil and Suriname back into the European world.

Yes, more European colonialism. That worked out really well in the past...

Oh wait.

[โ€“] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 2 days ago

Oof, yeah, sounds bad when you phrase it like that.

We also administer Vimy Ridge in France. While it isn't Canadian territory, we have been granted permanent usage of it. It's a little bit like a land border. :)

Brave men & women fought over Hans Island in the Whisky War, and the resulting land border is a testament to their bravery, livers, and the determination to find a longlasting solution to land disputes!

[โ€“] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn't that about that disput where everynow and then a group of military from each country would go up a hill, plant a flag and leave a bottle of booze, just for the other country to take it down and swap the bottle?

If so, I've seen less convoluted ways to make friends.

[โ€“] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes. It was solved in 2022 by dividing the island by a natural rift. However it was also decided that anyone who come to the island can travel the entire island without border control.

[โ€“] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Finally! Crazy bickering.

Hans Island in the Arctic for Denmark and Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which is a small island off the eats coast of Canada, which remains a part of France.
