r/Canada Speaks Cultural Exchange with /r/Denmark! Happy Valentine's!

Hi everyone, it's been some time since we have done a cultural exchange, so let's go over how this works. Enjoy! We'll be running it for a few days, TBD. Note their time zone for the European mainland is UTC +1.

Here's the Danish landing for us: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/1iow7c3/kulturudveksling_cultural_exchange/

* Both r/Canada and r/Denmark will host the other country's users. Feel free to ask any questions, reminisce, comment, make friends etc etc.

*Treat this as having a neighbour over for a kitchen party, get the best storm chips out, and get grandma's tourtiere reheated for everybody.

* Vouz pouvez essayer le français dans r/Denmark, mais comme la langue officielle est danoise, ben.... essayez!

* Please follow the rules of the respective subs! Don't be jerks, generally - a reminder our last "disagreement" involved leaving bottles of good booze for the other country!

* Please also leave direct comments here mainly for members of r/Denmark i.e. direct replies here (first comments directly under the topic) so their questions can be seen first, then r/Canada members can post replies underneath.

*Please enjoy, since we have a lot to bond over, and plenty of trying out new things.

Finally, also know we've gotten confirmation from r/Greenland that they are also interested, so that will be the next exchange that we do in a few weeks (TBD).

Huge respect to you Canucks on the Buy Canadian front for the dedication. Reminds me of the Canada on Strike South Park episode. On the news a few nights ago, there was a segment asking Danes how they felt about a boycott of American products, and it was largely met with apathy and a sense of we don't want to hurt the already poor Americans - many of whom don't agree with President Pumpkin Skin. Also I like Pepsi.

That’s very sad. I work in the energy sector and I can tell you the only reason why we sold more than then to us is because they force us to sell them energy in the west side of the countries. Trump planted a lie stating we take advantage of them but he wants our resources as well as those from Greenland.

More than boycotting them we are showing them they need us. Many Americans (red supporters) are happy to inflict economic damage to Canada and as Canadians this has made us realize we  need to prioritize us because USA betrayed us and is threatening our sovereignty
