Wow Norway going out to bat for Sweden :o

Tesla must really have pissed these guys off

Our unions and collective agreements are just about as strong in Norway as they are in Sweden. So this non union policy Elon is running is just as bad for us as them.

The Norwegians vs Swedes schpiel is mostly a joke. When it gets down to it we are good, close neighbours with very similar cultures.

Same with the Netherlands and Belgium (well at least Flanders anyway)

The rivalry between Sweden and Norway is only memes, we stand together in all things.

Except winter sports

I had no idea, that's horrifying.

I hope you understand that this means war.

Omg. I feel this could be made into a norgevits somehow.

We've always liked the Swedish Labor movement. They stood with us against the King when we wanted independence.
