The Arctic territory has issued a 30-year mining permit to a Danish-French consortium.

Greenland has allowed a Danish-French consortium to mine a rock which is key to the production of aluminum.

The permit granted to Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM) to extract anorthosite follows interest in the Arctic territory from Donald Trump in acquiring the island.

GAM, which is backed by French company Jean Boulle Group and real estate investment firms bodies from Denmark and Greenland, was granted a 30-year permit, Reuters reported.

      i’m canadian - a bit too proudly so. our family moved to nashville back in 1993 and then back to canada in 1999, so you could say i spent most of my formative years down there. i went to Overton HS, and i had some of the best teachers i could ever have wished for - even looking back now.

      and canada isn’t as friendly as they say it is, either. it’s more passive-aggressive than friendly. matchbox 20 is horrible, and the tragically hip is overrated. i even saw them live in studio from like 20 feet a way. good band, but not national treasure territory.

        You picked this thread to shit on the Tragically Hip? Sorry, I am just being passive aggressive I guess.

          i honestly don’t know why the fuck i chose to write all that stuff in this thread, but i still mean it all. i’ve seen better bar blues bands, and gordie’s whine really gets grating after a few songs. i’m glad we seem to agree on M20 at least :P
