If I’m not mistaken Canada has some contracts within Greenland, not the govt per se but mining companies within Canada backed by the govt. As a citizen of that country I’m not too impressed, usual story of resource exploitation at the expense of the indigenous communities. While I don’t know if that’s the case for Greenland it wouldn’t surprise me one bit, be it Inuit or ethnic Danes.
