00:00:00.000 Okay guys, we're here at Niagara Falls and we're talking about whether Canada should join the EU.
00:00:05.420 Let's go.
00:00:07.800 Should Canada join the EU?
00:00:10.260 I do think that Canada should join the EU.
00:00:12.600 I would say it's a good idea just to strengthen the connection between Europe and Canada.
00:00:19.860 In my opinion, I think no.
00:00:21.720 I would say yes, I just think that overall Europe is just a great country to be a part of.
00:00:27.220 And the more the merrier.
00:00:30.000 I don't think so.
00:00:31.740 I definitely feel like a lot of resources that we have,
00:00:35.040 if we were to kind of join with Europe,
00:00:37.860 I feel like there would be a lot of benefits.
00:00:39.680 I've never even heard of this being an option, right?
00:00:41.600 So I've never thought about it, right?
00:00:43.620 But what would be the advantage?
00:00:45.660 The only real reason why Canada would join the EU
00:00:49.200 would be for trade purposes.
00:00:52.040 And we already have kind of a sort of a trade deal with them already.
00:00:56.020 And I mean, the only other advantage I can think of
00:00:59.660 is that we would all have European passports and we could travel Europe freely.
00:01:05.180 So are we able to not travel Europe freely now as Canadian citizens?
00:01:08.540 No, we can, but I guess it would be like traveling within our own country.
00:01:11.740 So far I'm not convinced, right? I would say no so far.
00:01:15.580 I haven't even started the disadvantages.
00:01:17.180 Oh yes, okay, let's get into the disadvantages and maybe that will change my mind. 0.99
00:01:20.940 So I've been talking to some Europeans here and they tell us, don't. 1.00
00:01:24.860 Don't. Do not do this. Do not do this. You will lose your sovereignty. 1.00
00:01:29.360 I think that Canada will lose a lot of his independence, maybe?
00:01:34.360 So, that's like the big thing. We would lose our sovereignty.
00:01:38.360 Do you think we'll lose any of our sovereignty in joining the EU?
00:01:41.860 I would say, I mean, yes and no, I guess, in a way.
00:01:50.360 Rather than thinking about sovereignty, Canada should actually think about the other nations
00:01:55.200 itself and itself as a developing state, I think Canada should join the EU.
00:02:01.760 So Alberta and Quebec are both having their fights over their own sovereignty and doing
00:02:06.800 their own thing in their jurisdiction, especially Alberta.
00:02:10.900 Their regulations are pretty strict and business in Canada is already struggling.
00:02:14.800 now it takes like decades to open a mine and like so long to get permits for a factory and
00:02:21.120 permits to build a home and stuff like that but under the EU those regulations could be even
00:02:25.960 stricter. All of those don't don't change my don't change my mind for sure. How would joining the EU
00:02:31.860 be different from becoming the 51st state of the United States?
00:02:44.800 I would hope it would be less tension in terms of terrorists.
00:02:50.360 Wouldn't it be better, though, to strengthen ourselves as a country
00:02:52.980 and to reduce terrorists with the EU
00:02:55.000 instead of falling under their regulation and their control?
00:02:59.240 If Canada ends up joining the EU,
00:03:04.460 they're going to have major impacts on other parts of the world.
00:03:07.520 So obviously me being someone that owns a small business
00:03:10.180 and you're telling me that all those restrictions may even be worse,
00:03:13.800 so that definitely wouldn't change my mind.
00:03:15.800 I understand about the immigration a few things are a little bit looser there,
00:03:19.400 as well as the free speech.
00:03:21.000 I heard people are getting arrested from just posting things on Facebook,
00:03:24.300 and I'm able to, you know, live with the devil I know,
00:03:27.600 rather than the devil I don't know exactly.
00:03:29.400 They're a little bit closer, and they're...
00:03:31.200 The EU, once the EU starts, I feel that's more like a world...
00:03:34.000 I'd rather be a bit more independent,
00:03:36.100 and I don't think we actually need to be a European people
00:03:39.000 just so we can have free trade.
00:03:40.400 we can kind of still communicate or have a trade talk with them a trade agreement while being
00:03:46.160 independent as well definitely not i like canada we stick with uh who we are for sure there you
