The articles Canada and Greenland currently say that Canada borders the Danish Realm through Greenland, while the article Danish Realm is silent on the matter (just noting that the border dispute ended) and implies that maybe Hans Island isn't part of Greenland at all, while this article says that the treaty is pending ratification. Which is it? News articles seem to often be glossing over the exact details of what the two to three sovereigns just agreed to. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 23:54, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Greenland is a country too, even though it's a country within the Danish realm. In fact, Greenland's website, Sermitsiaq, even states that Hans Island is half Canadian and half Greenlandic. Greenland is a nation. Greenlanders possess both Greenlandic nationality and Danish nationality, as evidenced by the fact they may choose to have a Greenlandic passport or Danish passport. During the formal signing, Greenland was referred to as a country and was required to sign in the same way that Canada and Denmark did. In addition, throughout Greenland, the national Greenlandic flag is prominently displayed and the Danish flag is rarely seen. Most of the media has not done their research. The border is between Canada and Greenland. Furthermore, some in the media also display their ignorance by stating that Canada borders the EU or Europe, which isn't correct at all. Greenland is not in the EU and all of Hans Island and all of Greenland are part of North America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.246.2 ( talk) 05:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Canada–Greenland border and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 September 8#Canada–Greenland border until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

In edit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Hans_Island&oldid=1128925569) the text was changed from "the treaty will take effect" to "the treaty took effect" – however, no sources were added to substantiate the claim. Having done some searching of both the Parliament of Canada's and the Folketing's websites today, I have not found any evidence that either country has formally ratified the treaty.
As far as I am aware all four entities (the Parliament of Canada, the Danish Folketing, the Parliament of Greenland and the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut) must ratify the treaty before it officially comes into force.
I suggest the text be returned to future tense until the treaty is formally adopted by all parties (and authoritative sources are added to this page) Da.mappr ( talk) 01:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
The Parliament of Canada isn't normally involved in the Ratification of Treaties (See Library of Parliament Backrounder [1], it's an executive branch only thing, and Territorial Governments have nothing to do with them. So adding dubious to them being required for it to come into force. WanukeX ( talk) 22:50, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
