February 2, 2026 | Vincent Rigby joins Weekends with Ben O'Hara-Byrne to discuss Canada's decision to move forward with a presence in Greenland. Rigby argues this is an overdue step that reflects solidarity with Greenlanders and aligns with Canada's Arctic priorities. While questions have been raised about the timing and whether the decision is provocative, Rigby argues that Canada must strike a careful balance between continuing to work with the United States and standing on its own. Rigby also downplayed concerns about opening a consular presence in Greenland, noting that such moves are consistent with Canada's existing close relationship with Greenland and its national strategy.
