@benroyce If Greenland joined the Schengen area, the land border on Hans Island would be open for travellers.

@benroyce @nemo and all cities named the same (prefixes allowed) should be considered same "metropolis"

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@viq @nemo

Waterloo Ontario and Waterloo Belgium also have to share a mayor and city council, police department, water department, and sanitation department

lots of flying for the mayor and government officials. and reeeeallly long pipes for the water dept, and garbage trucks that have to cross the atlantic twice a week. if your purse gets robbed in Ontario, the police in Belgium have to investigate. if there is a fistfight in Belgium, the police in Ontario have to fly over

@benroyce @nemo that's exactly what I mean. York and New York are the same city. You have multiple towns in a country named (roughly) the same? They're the same place now.

@benroyce TBF, NATO is supposedly the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but some of its members are nowhere close to the Atlantic Ocean.

Also, states that are not geographically in Europe are considered to be part of the EU in some specific cases. For example, for research funding, both Japan and Israel are considered as being part of the EU.

@paraw

Technically correct is the best kind of correct

[paraw@mathstodon.xyz]

@kDelta @benroyce so, how is that different from what I wrote? For the purposes of research funding, Japan, Israel and the UK (and possibly others) are treated as if they were EU member States. Of course, this is because there are agreements set in place. So?

Laisser moi vous dire que notre ministre français est un #barrot guignol incompétent ... il raconte n'importe quoi ou ce qu'on lui demande de raconter ... inutile de perdre du temps avec ses propos ineptiques ...
