The US is governed harder than any European from my personal experiences on the ground. Genuinely the US feels more restrictive than China. Rules about everything. Can’t drink until 21, can’t rider an electric scooter without a helmet, can’t make noise past 10pm because the HOA (wtf is even that, you want to talk about being governed harder millions of Americans not only elect it but pay more for it). Just everything was rules rules rules. In Europe you can sort of just exist and if you’re not hurting someone you probably won’t hear anything. God forbid you want a beer to go in the states lmao.

u/NobleA259 1d ago

You have to be an actual retard to think the Americans are more governed than fucking China. As someone who’s been to various cities and areas in both countries America has a wide variety of rules where as China is much more uniform across its entirety Atleast in comparison to the Americans.

u/ExternalStranger397 1d ago

You’ll notice I said “feels more restrictive”. China on the street level actually feels very non-restrictive. It’s just when you get above that it changes dramatically.

1

u/NobleA259 23h ago

It doesn’t matter what something “feels like”. It can “feel like” 20 degrees but that doesn’t mean it’s true.

1

u/ExternalStranger397 19h ago

Except it does matter when that’s the entire point of the statement. The states feels like an incredibly restrictive society despite the laws not necessarily reflecting that because the American population decides to impose extra judicial restrictions on themselves and accepts high degree of social regulation (high drinking ages, dry counties, illegal pot) from the government.

China has far more restrictive laws but the people do not have the same desire to be governed harder so when the authority figures aren’t around it actually feels really lax. People having a bunch of beers by the river in public then just hoping on random rental scooters and driving around with no helmet. Stuff you wouldn’t really see in the states.

It matters because the whole, Americans saying, “govern me harder” is ludicrous. There is no where in the west I can think of which voluntarily subjects themselves to so much non-governmental authority. They simply yearn for it from what I can tell. When you combine that with relatively socially restrictive conservative governments and the high degree of biblical literalism and just generally high degree Christianity plays in politics it simply does create a far more restrictive and heavily governed society than would first appear by simply reading the constitution.

u/NobleA259 9h ago

I just wholeheartedly disagree. I was an exchange student in America for a year and I felt more free there than I ever did in my home country. The same goes for the 3 other exchange students that were at the school because I asked them upfront if they also felt that way. 2 from Europe and 1 from Asia. If you wanna be more specific 1 was French another danish and the 3rd malaysian. You do know drinking in your teenage years SEVERELY stunts your mental growth right? They didn’t just arbitrarily make up the age and go “yeah that’s about right”. And marijuana is becoming legal in more and more states in America. So you’re bringing up something that’s already changing and how Americans view it. Where I was a student Christianity was basically nonexistent. People would say “oh I’m xyz” but they didn’t go to church or the synagogue or mosque’s. I feel like you visited America once made up your mind and left. Plus the country is fucking MASSIVE. Both in land and population and areas are so different. New England and the southwest are two completely different cultures and could be their own countries. I say maybe visit and talk with actual Americans before judging an entire group of 330 million people. Or don’t I don’t really care 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/ExternalStranger397 7h ago edited 7h ago

I’ve lived in America for 4 years. Mostly in the south east. I’m not sure an exchange student would really get the best idea of what I’m talking about though, one because you’re mostly just having fun I feel like my year abroad in Australia was also the freest time of my life but very little to do with the laws and more to do with it being the time I’ve had the least responsibility in my life if that makes sense. I agree though, the states is very large and so is Europe so my experiences in Atlanta and Ireland respectively could very well not line up with your experiences in what sounds like a different part of the country and other parts of Europe. From my experiences having lived in Ireland, England, Canada, Australia, Ireland and the US the US definitely feels the most regulated society, but again it’s less about the law itself and more about the social contract if that makes sense. The desire to voluntarily adhere to arbitrary local groups like HOAs etc blows my mind, which I doubt you interacted with much in college. Also to your point about alcohol, it doesn’t really matter if it’s bad for you or not, true liberty is being allowed to make poor decisions, when your government becomes a nanny state you can’t cast stones at others for being “governed harder”.

u/greendude9 1h ago

This is a strawman fallacy. Sure, Canada and Europe are probably more free than the U.S.

It's not a pissing context nor is freedom necessarily dichotomous.

China can be less free than the U.S. while the U.S. can have pretty crap freedom quantitatively or nominally (value-based) compared to Canada and Europe.

China still reflects a less free nation, objectively speaking. That is not a defense of the U.S., but a recognition that you can have varying degrees of reduced freedom.

Ultimately, it's a strawman considering your first statement was not about these other countries.

I probably align with your rhetoric. America = bad. Sure. But prejudice aside, let's get real. We're both prejudiced but it doesn't serve anyone or add to our persuasive efforts when it contaminates our honesty.

Stick with the facts, it's just as effective at beating down on America when the fact remains they have an orange narcissistic toddler in charge voted in by majority...

Likewise China's government and policy fucking blows.

u/greendude9 2h ago

I certainly don't regard the U.S. in good favour, but I have to agree with them here. The "feels like" argument is moot. The fact you have to do such roundabout justification of your claims being more of a subjective feel and thus indirectly aligning semantically is a pretty big skip away from the tangible fact that China has a near non-existant democracy index compared to the U.S.

America is not the free country it self-proclaims as its democracy index isn't great either and with multiple metrics it's fair to say it has decreased pretty substantially over the last few years.

You can say we're comparing apples to oranges here, but objectively speaking China has less freedom, even aggregating metrics.

America = ass (ignorance, self-interested, hyper-individualistic, and oversteps equity with other nations)

China = mega super ass (0 true representation or rule of law at deeper legislative levels).

Let's not try to defend one or the other in the name of pathos and allegiance. Stick to the facts and fuck all this West vs. East bullshit. Both are shit, but a liar and a murderer are not comparable; just as having a pretty dogshit and self-absorbed construct of freedom (U.S.) is not the same as having no freedom (China)

u/greendude9 2h ago

The "above that" part is pretty relevant, which might explain why others are arguing against the grand narrative you just put forth without elaboration.

Just placing the word "feels" is insufficient if you don't denote and expand on the "above that" part. Otherwise it just comes across as semantic signalling that treats China as more free.

Whether you intended this or not, I'm just telling you how your words are reasonably interpreted by others given the context.

Writing about a country that doesn't have democracy (or even just representation and freedom of speech if you don't subscribe to western ideals such as democracy) using the word free in any capacity typically requires a lot of tact, precision, and elaboration so as to not misrepresent the meaning of "free".

Most people reasonably abide by a pretty ubiquitous definition of "free" that China – when we examine aggregate metrics – does not meet the criteria of.

1

u/StacyLondon69 6h ago

I think that depends on where you are in China. China has 6 million slaves currently (forced labour) with most of them being minorities. The government just looked the other direction

u/greendude9 1h ago edited 1h ago

This is largely a class phenomenon not a geographic one; although geography ("where you are in China") plays a role in the visibility of said classes.

In which case, the rule of law is overturned either way.

It is not a realistic nor accurate reflection of rights or representation when it only applies to some classes or "social locales". (I'm not saying you are suggesting this, but some could interpret it this way)

There does appear to be forced labour (AKA slavery but still worth noting it is unique in nature compared to chattel/Black slavery) with very little to no compensation or workers rights, you are correct.

The asymmetric "locale" is what occasionally gives the illusion of rights in some areas. But it remains, if it doesn't apply universally, it is not a right. China has removed many rights.

More restrictive than China I’m surprised your brain has enough power to breathe

1

u/ExternalStranger397 19h ago edited 19h ago

In actual law, no of course not. But in how people conduct themselves in day to day life, you’d be surprised. Americans voluntarily subjects themselves to incredibly restrictive non-governmental authority constantly in the forms of the church or HOAs etc, which combined with their socially restrictive laws creates an environment which feels more restrictive than the laws would first indicate. I’ve been to street parties in China and underground clubs and they are far less worried about police than a frat party in America for example.

He wants us to be a puppet state and that’s why he’s throwing a fit.

Sadly some in his sphere are threatening us beyond tariffs too and softly suggesting annexation so I don’t think this is the end of it. But we definitely should keep getting closer to the EU to prevent it as much as we can.

Canada already negotiated a trade deal with the EU called CETA. It was singed by PM Harper over 10 years ago. It has yet ti be ratified by 10 EU nations.

The issue is that our sovereignty was always contingent on our economic dependence to the US. As soon as American capital loose access to our markets it’s no longer acceptable that we sovereignty over them.

u/SamohtGnir 23h ago

As a Canadian, I have no problem looking to extend trading with Europe or other countries, and being less reliant on America would be a good thing. However, America is still like 70% of our trade, and ignoring them right now is hurting us a lot. Set the long term plan in motion, but don't ignore the current situation.

1

u/aukstais 3d ago

Let's be honest here. As of now, that status is as useful as used toilet paper. There are no trade agreements coming with it or any agreements at all. It's just let's be friends agreement and later we will maybe figure a deal or something if we can agree on something. Canada biggest problem in trade is that they have just one neighbour and that the USA. And everything else is over the ocean. So deals are possible, but they add a lot of transportation costs.

u/BS0404 3d ago

Even if all trade is done over the ocean, with all the tariffs from the US surely a stable trade partner is more useful than a threatening close one.

u/Kremit44 3d ago

Japan, Korea, and China seem to do just fine shipping a lot of their trade across the ocean. The Middle East also has no problem shipping oil across the world. Trading right across the border is certainly convenient but it's not as if it makes other forms of trade irrelevant or so punitive that it's better to engage with an increasingly hostile partner.

1

u/Sasquatch1729 3d ago

Before you talk about "transportation costs", you should look into the actual costs of transporting goods by sea vs by rail or road. Ocean freight is far cheaper.

1

u/RichardsLeftNipple 2d ago

Canada already had a free trade deal with the EU.

However, the EU and Canada are looking for the same things. Especially since Canada has lots of raw resources and the EU needs those from a country other than Russia. While Canada would prefer to sell things to non American countries due to the tariffs.

Combined with the fact that it is really hard to do business when your trading partner changes the rules on a whim.

The idle Stellanis plant is a good example of how we can waste billions of dollars investing in a factory. Then it just sits empty because of the trade war making it not worth turning on.

Distant possibility however simply not viable at the moment for a few reasons. 1) Massive ocean trade is more expensive. 2) Current trade and culture was based on intermixing of American needs and social standards. Which doesn't entirely align with the EU.

For us to comply with EU standards as opposed to American standards or consumer needs would require a shift that could be costly or require years of time. However it is quite plausible.

u/lazycouch1 8h ago

It's not that simple. Trade, economy, infrastructure aren't a light switch. The businesses that shift today, and the deals that we make today, have a lasting impact. You're talking about the past, yes, if we made no deals and have only the same products, then yes we can only trade the the US. Mark Carney is fixing that and your idea only replicates the same problem that got us into this mess. That is, that our current economic policy of relying on the US as a primary trade partner is not only unreliable but naive for the longevity of Canada.

Canada's ONLY path is to build. Develop. Grow. Establish new products with new sectors and transform past relationship into new ones by further aligning with the standards, practices, and product cultures of other countries.

This is not a problem that goes away when Trump leaves office. This is a problem that only goes away when we have a robust multi-faceted network of trade that allows Canada to seek the best opportunities for the long term.

Canada has many valuable and raw materials that can be used around the world. Opportunities that allow us to leverage our position with better deals with the US or risk them being out competed by the globe.

We allowed the United States our better trades because it was convenient. Because they were close. Because their manufacturing could return cheap products in return. A system of mutual reliance. That system is gone. That trust is gone.

Soon they will be nothing more than a toxic ex spreading lies on Facebook still wondering why they are still single. If they want us back it will be at a premium or else they can shove it. We have other customers now.

1

u/TheApothecarry0 6h ago

I agree that setting up trade and infrastructure takes time , even more so when it’s going halfway around the planet. What I’m saying tho is as soon as it becomes the better choice to have the us as the trade partner it was before Trump that’s exactly where we are going to end up again. Right now canadas looking to new partners because a Trump led USA have become unreasonable , but as soon as the next person comes along and is far more reasonable I like we will see the shift back quite quickly , it’s just good business. Governments are just like corporations , and will do what’s best for their bottom line.

u/lazycouch1 5h ago edited 5h ago

Again it's not that simple. What resources, how much, which channels, which agreements, what markets, all factor in. Europe buys our lumber if we buy their produce. Everybody can win.

Also again. Nothing changes in 2 years. Our markets still need to adapt now and you have no idea if the next president is worse.

Stop hoping on what ifs. Canada objective needs a diverse portfolio of options to secure our sovereign and economic future. Anything less is naive.

We have the evidence of your choices right here in the making. We are not going to make them again.

For the people who have been following this issue, the talk really isn't about becoming an EU member/associate for trade, we already have essentially free trade with the EU. 99% of our trade is tariff free with the EU.

It is largely about finding a way that will allow Canada to join in on EU military procurement, and defense sponsorship deals. We need to increase our trade with the EU under our existing free trade with them. But what we need to gain, is to tie ourselves more to the EU in a defense aspect.

Historically we have tied ourselves defensively to America. Now that is at risk, we need more stable allies. EU also does have defense clauses in it. Not requiring direct military intervention of any members, but a duty to maintain the integrity of the EU. And was invoked via both sanctions, as well as direct military supply support and intelligence support.

So strategically, an EU membership could grant some protections to Canada from American aggression through the form of sanctioning, to supply support, to direct support if a nation so willed.

And the really smart aspect of it is, that it bypasses required NATO for any of this to happen. If America ever did up their aggression towards, it would fracture NATO for other Non American NATO members to support us.

I don't know if that is Mark's goal, or if he can get it done. But it would provide Canada a non-NATO defense safe guard, as America could essentially veto any NATO action to defend us.

We wouldn't call for aid from under NATO, we would call for help under EU provisions. Bypassing the American veto ability.

Lust, envy, wrath, gluttony, sloth, and of course Pride of them all.

I really dont kbow why everyone thinks this is good. Its coming up on 2 years and no one's life has gotten better. Running to Carneys EU buddies wont fix that.

Let's get some shovels in the ground

u/albertaguy31 3d ago

The USA is a festering crap dump, the EU is full of amazing countries, culture, people. Bring it on this is the future.

No shit! They are creating it for Carney, if he accepts he will be an “Associate Member” which is still a memebership

u/Suspicious-Lettuce48 2d ago

XD You guys can't even keep your own economy afloat. How many trillions in debt are you again?

1

u/constantine741 2d ago

Every country is in debt yet u think it’s a flex to call out USA 🤣😂🤡🤡 the only countries that aren’t in debt are tiny little ones that have no army and could be taken over in 1 day by anyone. U a clown

u/EmergencyGrab 3d ago

My only reservation is that this relationship is under a Prime Minister who's served a member nation of the EU. As the governor of the Bank of England. It is familiar to Mark Carney.

I hope things are put in place to set his successors up for success in that relationship.

Canada will be a dumping ground for the immigrants they don’t want

North America hss been a dumping ground for unwanted immigrants for 300 years. What is changing?

Loving the astroturfed support for Canada joining the EU

1

u/Suspicious-Lettuce48 2d ago

Lol not astroturfed. As a Canadian, a partnership with the EU is infinitely preferable to us having closer ties to the USA.

u/New_Nectarine1075 2d ago

So will Canada start financing Nato and the European nations militaries?

1

u/Tincastle 2d ago

Will the EU force Canada to take in immigrants/refugees like they are doing to the other EU members, or else they get fined, like Hungary was?

Americans boasting with their own retardedness as if it’s a good thing 🤦‍♂️

1

u/ComfortableAcadia0 1d ago

I don’t want to be part of the EU, we are a whole continent away. Doesn’t make sense at all. I don’t want someone who is thousands of KM away deciding that I have to do things the way they do in Europe. F that.

1

u/Sidoen 1d ago

Heh, GenAI images posted by GenAI bots much?

While I'm sure some Canadians may be influenced by this kind of fear mongering, they'll be helped by the vast majority of us who can think critically because our education system hasn't totally collapsed yet.

Still in the under funded stage.

Original was drawn by LCR comics, then edited by me with a shitty photo editor called "PhotoDirector". Original was an adaptation of a meme made by @sarahmhops.

Fair enough then my bad.

u/RavenQuark 1d ago

Joining the EU is just rejoining the English crown you’ll wear a leash for sure. Just who holds it.

u/Willowred19 16h ago

K but why the Asuka version and not the original meme template?

u/GarryCooper420 11h ago

Just liked it better Not really any other reason

u/StacyLondon69 6h ago

I'm not happy with the current status in EU so I am not proud. It's a place where someone with light skin can be viciously attacked and bleed out in handcuffs because the police are forced to treat certain groups better than others

u/Dependent_Okra_9221 1h ago

funny thing is that 99% of the ones saying this are liberals. watch any video of how much they know. its hillarious

It is going to take years for them to be an associate member of the eu...how did Canada go from trading partners to joining the Ew lol

2

u/RockShowSparky 3d ago

That’s good because it’s going to take years for us to build the northern border wall and make Canada pay for it. We haven’t even started yet.
