By Dylan Robertson The diplomat Canada has posted to Greenland says the new consulate should lead to “concrete” gains for Canadians, while locals urge Ottawa to expand existing trade and cultural ties with the Danish territory. “This just kicks things into a new phase, a more intensive phase, being on the ground and having presence,” said Julie Crôteau, Canada’s acting consul in Greenland’s capital Nuuk. She gave The Canadian Press her first media interview since taking on the job last November. “Working together to find common solutions to a lot of the challenges, and building jointly on opportunities that are available in the northern, Arctic context — especially in the world as it is these days — I think that will be a very, very big success,” she said.
