Not funny. I've been noticing this a lot in articles even from reputable news agencies.

Word of advice: When the publisher doesn't bother to fact check the proper spelling of the city name it literally announces its bias and intent.

How badly do you need to fuck up so that China is the one we're rooting for? JFC.

What’s the internet regulation like in Canada

What’s fiber penetration like

What about public transport

What’s Canada’s stance on green and renewables

How votes are counted

>Is Canada pro-regulation?

We are a nation of ~40 million people, speaking two official languages, spread out amongst 10 provinces and 3 territories, encompassing the 2nd largest land area behind russia. We have 4 'recognized' parties (Conservatives, Liberals, New Democrats, and Bloc Quebecois) and the Greens are an up and coming party that have members in the House. We are too diverse to say 'we are all pro anything (except maybe Hockey)'. That said, we are a Social Democracy so regulate far more than the US despite (perhaps in spite of) their economic influence.

Something you didn't ask about but I think you'd likely be interested in is our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Oh snap I completely forgot about that. Well, I'll hold the behaviour of our historical leaders up against the EU's any day. TBF they've had far longer to put stupid shit on record than we have ofc.

Treatment of the indigenous people

That's fair, and IMO should be the deal breaker. (edit: how unreasonable of me)

>5 eyes

We're a junior partner and net recipient. Our judiciary flat out prevents most of our participation, and we'd likely leave it to join,

>black face

That thing that originated in Europe? Or the American version that isn't us?

>(re?)electing a crack smoker.

He might have been re-elected as a Ward councillor, but I don't think it is fair to hold an entire nation responsible for 1 city's stupidity. A nation that for the most part considered them a laughing-stock.

Regardless, I'm not actually in favour of joining the EU directly but fully support bolstering our alliances.

lol wut? This is the first anti-Canadian comment I've ever heard. Canadians are unreasonable? "I do not know much about them, but in my self-admittedly ignorant opinion I think they are an unreasonable people". Wouldn't that make us fit right in if everyone in EU was like you?

lmao. I'm going to be laughing about your comment for the rest of the day. Thank you.

What's that expression?

'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 50,000 times I become a rabid terrorist supporting gullible rube'.

Lol, I mean, the link you provided... to wikipedia... says they've been 'accused' of being right-wing or non-partisan so I guess take your pick who to believe? Their mission statement seems pretty respectable to me.

Wait wait wait... Hamas didn't try any BS and things went smoothly. What nefarious plot will Israel be accused of with this?
