From the limited stuff I know about Canada, please no. They only seem reasonable because they are only ever compared to usa.
-
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 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 are votes counted? Is the Canada pro-regulation?

What’s the internet regulation like in Canada

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.

Treatment of the indigenous people is the first thing that comes to mind. 5 eyes, black face, (re?)electing a crack smoker.
Just the 5 eyes thing is a deal breaker for me.

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.

They're probably talking about that time Justin Trudeau, our former PM, did something stupid and racist at a party decades ago. Actually he seems to have done it more than once. It was pretty bad, but it's a weird thing to judge a whole country on.
-
Yeah, exactly. He's not even in charge anymore.
-
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.

I wonder what you're thinking of. On just about every issue there's somewhere in Europe further right or further left. Since this is Lemmy you probably don't mean we like immigrants too much.
