I can’t see Carney committing troops. He seems firmly committed to appeasement, which never works and will signal to the USA that Canada is wide open for the taking. His whole “elbows up” thing magically melted away the day after he won the election.
“The Canadian Armed Forces are not initiating any new operations at this time,” said government sources, adding that Canada stands “shoulder-to-shoulder” with the people of Denmark and Greenland, which is an autonomous Danish territory.
Standing shoulder to shoulder kind of requires actually standing shoulder to shoulder though. Otherwise it looks like calling “I’m right behind you” while running the other way. And this doesn’t send a strong message of solidarity to the USA.
I really hope Canada joins in.
It would fuck trade negotiations a bit, but a useful outcome isn’t guaranteed there, and if Greenland falls the loss of our own sovereignty almost is.
The Toronto Star, which I do not fully trust, says that Canada will not be sending troops

Yeah, we definitely aren’t yet.
