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

      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)

        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!

            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.

              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.

          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.
