I see a Bristow Iron Works in Ontario, but their website is down. They have a Facebook page, but I have it blocked. From what I can see it is 4 years expired.

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.

I can hear this meme and it sounds like the theme to E.T.

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.

I've never lived there but spent some time visiting family and friends that moved out there over the years. In my experience, and generally speaking, they aren't nearly as fanatical or upset as the politician's sound. Is there a noticable shift in political leaning as the years go by for them? Yup. Nowhere near enough to cause problems in our relationship though. They are normal people living in a society greatly advantaged by the oil industry so everything that hinders oil eventually hurts everyone there one way or another.

I'm not defending them, but I understand where they're coming from. IMO they really need to start weening off oil and diversifying their economy because the gravy train WILL end one way or another no matter what they do. Unfortunately, that's much easier said then done and so it falls on deaf ears hence the stranglehold PCs have over the province.

Russia didn't even get a tariff right? So they hurting just from side-effects? lol

 

Shortly after Donald Trump announced details of his global tariffs Wednesday, a few hundred Americans gathered in the pouring rain on a pedestrian bridge in Buffalo and sang their northern neighbours’ national anthem.

The protest, held in the shadow of the Peace Bridge that connects the two countries, was meant to send a message to both Washington and to Canadians across the river – an affirmation that not all Americans support Mr. Trump’s economic and rhetorical attacks on Canada.

 

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Gunfire erupted as thousands of protesters in Haiti clashed with police on Wednesday as they denounced a surge in gang violence and demanded that the government keep them safe.

Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.

He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.

Shoddy cyber security at Ukrainian vehicle inspections has exposed hundreds of thousands of personal documents for the past four years, placing reams of personal data at risk of exploitation by bad actors, including Russian intelligence and hackers.

Largely scans of passports, taxpayer identification numbers, driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations, the documents span a broad stretch of Ukrainian geography and demography. Mostly, they identify people who were buying or selling used cars internationally.
