Denmark invests a ton of money in Greenland to make sure everything is up to Danish standards. Danes also care about design and are good at it.
Canada figures out what the absolute minimum they need to invest in the North then invest about one quarter that amount. Design? That's not even on their radar. There's a reason everything looks like a cheap tin can: it's all about building the cheapest piece of garbage possible. Even if they did care about design, our culture doesn't seem to be very good at it. Just look at the primitive garbage they built next to the Alberta Legislature. Buildings like that would never get approved in Denmark let alone go up next to their parliament.
