"Investing.com -- Danish pension fund AkademikerPension plans to sell all its US Treasury holdings by the end of January, citing credit risks associated with President Donald Trump’s policies.

"The US is basically not a good credit and long-term the US government finances are not sustainable," Anders Schelde, chief investment officer at AkademikerPension, told Bloomberg on Tuesday."

Canadians remember 1812, so don’t even try invading us.

We will send you packing like we did in 1812.

There is so much crap on that website, you can't even scroll through to read the President's posts. This is where we're at, the presidential messages alongside my pillow and whatever the hell these ads are 🙄

I hope this isn't considered political. It explains Canada's stance on economics, especially the importance of preserved sovereignty. Prime Minister Mark Carney is speaking at Davos World Economic Forum ... received a rare standing ovation.

Important point is that the old world is not coming back, there's no point is waiting around expecting that to happen. He said that the threat from Russia in the Arctic is more prospective than actual, and NATO intends to keep it that way.

For comparison, the map posted by the US government illustrates Canada and Greenland belonging to the United States.

I think he's obsessed with Size. The Size of, a lot of stuff. Like ballrooms. And other less subtle male stuff. We do know he is exceptionally sensitive about the "tiny hands" jokes.

In this case, it's the appearance of stars and stripes on a piece of paper that shows an inaccurate projection of the size of countries near the poles.

Yes, Russia is encouraging the US government to steal Greenland in order to be bigger than Canada. Russia seems to be aware of the US need to be the biggest.

"If Trump annexes Greenland by July 4 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he will go down in history as a figure who asserted the greatness of the United States," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"With Greenland, the US becomes the second largest country in the world after Russia, surpassing Canada in area. For Americans, that's on par with such planetary events as the abolition of slavery by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 or the territorial conquests of the Napoleonic Wars.

"If, thanks to Trump, Greenland becomes part of America…for sure the American people will not forget such an achievement."

And the Russian reporter has this message for America's president: don't U-turn."

If this country survives and my children have offspring, they won't believe their history books.

The cherry tree story is more believable, and much more uplifting.

At least I’ll be able to tell them I saw this grifter for who he is since the very first moment.

This evening I actually saw (on TV of course) Norway's PM speaking about this misconception of DT's - that the Norwegian government is to blame for him not getting it. The PM was talking privately I think, certainly not to the press. His voice was very quiet and emphatic, this is how I recall it: "I have explained and explained to him, but he will not see it, he will not listen. Over and over I have said it, again and again, that it is a committee, not the country. But he will not understand, he just will not."

Now this is not word for word by any means, I am just trying to give the gist of it, and what I think was the exasperation of the PM. IMO

At about 2:11 on the video, he claims he doesn't care about the prize and Norway controls who wins, even after being told that is not the case:

There's another story that could be told.

The Power of the Powerless, written by Václav Havel, author and former President of the Czech Republic, was told by Prime Minister Mark Carney at Davos to give another option for the future.

I think one of the most important points made by Mark Carney at Davos is that we, the collective global "we", must accept that there has been a "global rupture" (not a transition). We cannot sit around expecting that the rupture will be undone, or that everything will return to pre-rupture after any election. It is permanent, we must accept the world as it is today, and we must respond to ensure our prosperity and that of others.

Greenland is the focus of that rupture today. We know that Iceland and Canada are on the menu.

Prime Minister De Wever, Prime Minister of Belgium:
"My feeling is that the sweet-talking is over. Denmark has always been the US's staunchest ally, and is being treated this way. And when NATO countries organize military presence in NATO territory and are then threatened, you reach the point where appeasement and sweet-talking is counterproductive. It only encourages going a step further; it's the very hungry caterpillar (De Wever refers to the famous picture book of the same name about a large, insatiable caterpillar that eats its way through a series of objects on every page, ed.)"
