Ya know what you get with economic freedoms? Monopolies and other ******** . Ya know what Canada is **** of? Monopolies and other ******** . Just look at their ISPs over there. ***** completely ****** .

Economic freedom is massively different to general freedom. Also america is the economic power house of the world, with only china showing up now. And their freedom is terrrible. So gg, your point about Canada is moot.

Milton Friedman - Monopoly government is actually the source of most monopolies

Canada has huge companies, but there is still competition. Hell we only have like five major banks, but the government actively keeps them all in check. It is why our economy didn't suffer nearly as much in 2008, and what we did suffer, was because of how closely we are tied to America. Also, I see a crap load of small independent businesses.

Unless it is run by the government, the only way they are responsible for a monopoly is lack of regulation. There is a key difference to lacking economic freedom, and having economic regulation. Economic freedom is also about how easily you can do things like start businesses. When the government has let Capitalism run wild, you get monopolies in every industry, and huge disparities in wealth, meaning that the average person has less wealth, and less ways to utilize it. It is why America scores high income disparity. Complete lack of regulation results less rules, and thus they balance out on paper in terms of economic freedom, but it is really not the case for your average joe or jane.

As for his argument regarding Free trade, that is simply false. Since globalization, you have a handful of companies controlling food all over the world. What logic is there in "well, this failed on this scale, lets fix by taking it to a larger scale!". Hell, in Canada, wealthier businesses from America have begun to buy brands. And you can't argue for the loyalty to ones country, because countless jobs in developed worlds have been exported to poorer countries. It is the sound present business decision for them to make for their business, but not for their country, or the global economy. Look at what happened in 2008. Leaked emails showed that they knew that the mortgages they were selling going to fail, and would ruin the world economy, but they still did it.

The problem is that Capitalism is that it is a competition, and in a competition, if there is no one to keep the players from beating their opponents completely, then you will eventually get a winner, i.e., a monopoly. The whole point of a competition is to win, what else do you expect to happen, other than someone winging?

You know what's funny, I never heard a single person say they wanted Trudeau in office, now all I hear is how everyone wants him out. I remember getting on steam to have this girl I know suddenly message me with: "ARE YOU READY TO LET IN SOME SYRIANS?"

No one wants them here, Trudeau doesn't care and brings them in anyway, everyone mad at trudeau and wants the immigrants deported, in addition to keeping brown people out. Liberals butt hurt as hell.

I would've thought my country racist a year or two ago.

Same here, I've only spoken to one person that actually wanted Trudy in office, though she's a complete airhead and voted for him because she likes the way he looks and not for his politics. Then again, I'm a redneck Albertan and the majority of us voted for the Tories anyhow.

As far as immigration goes, I've seen much the same thing. Pretty much every related article that I've read for the past year, regardless of site, absolutely crucifies the Liberals in the comment section. Everyone is genuinely terrified of becoming the next Sweden, or Germany. Such a huge issue, and yet so many people disagree with the way Trudeau wants to do things. It really makes me wonder if people actually voted for his hair and the promise of free weed.

And yet he can let the Syrians in.

Yes I know there's very little procedure to go through by comparison. That example bugs me because I know that very few people in that town out west that got 1000 of them actually was willing to welcome them, and the government just said you're getting them whether you like it or not.

I live in Ottawa during my school year and within my friend groups and my roommates friends and whatnot (ages 18-28) I'd say something like 95% voted for Trudeau. At least from my experience, it's the opposite. I heard so much about getting him in, and I have yet to hear any of this hate and want to get rid of him. I mean I've seen him be criticized for the refugee crisis and how he's handling, but that is it.

Maybe that has to do with the fact that its in the city. I was in Toronto myself for my last semester (transferring to Sudbury because **** that place) and I noticed that most of the people there were almost the total opposite of me and those I knew from the northwest.

I remember reading that the more rural a person's origins, the more likely it will be that they are conservative, and vice versa. Which would make sense considering the majority of opinions I've heard are from family, friends, or acquaintances of a description, all of which live in small towns.

Personally, I knew Trudy would probably not be a stellar choice, but honestly none of our friggin politicians listen to us anymore it seems, making such a choice pretty well mute. All n all, he'll get his time, hopefully won't be reelected, Syrians will go home, and hopefully we'll get a PM that doesn't just say that he'll listen. And god damn I hope people didn't vote for him because of weed.

Since when is the U.S. hostile toward China? Also, China's not really communist in most respects.

Since China was communist when the cold war was going on, and somewhat now because America owes a lot of money to them.

The U.S. owes just one-sixteenth of it's national debt to China, and national debts don't really function as "money owed." Additionally, there where Sino-American tensions during the Cold War, especially during the early 1950s, but after the Nixon presidency relations have thawed considerably.

china has attempted to control disputed territories with japan, since japan buys weapons from the u.s and is one of the most valuable allies in east asia, next to sk, the U.S sends some of its most powerful and up to date navy vessels, even aircraft carriers to patrol disputed territories, in fact, China has threatened u.s aircraft/vessels that they are in Chinese airspace/waters when in fact, its just disputed space, more or less a pissing contest

I know all about that, but the Senkaku Islands alone (if that's what you're referring to) do not make for a hostile relationship between the two largest trading partners in the world.

China is about to become an orwellian nightmare state, they use social media to bring totalitarian regime to unprecedented level of precision and efficiency.
The US is, despite recent shortcomings, trying to be a state of free citizens.

The philosophical difference between the two is so vast they can't find common ground outsice of cold trade. If China didn't have a powerful military and nukes, some intervention would happen already, but neither state will risk an all out war.

That whole rating system is going to bite China in the ass. It will even further close their population off from the Internet, and in a world where the internet is becoming more and more important it leaves their population in a bubble. Which severely hurts their international business.
I honestly can't see their government keeping that rating system for any more than 10 years.

10 years is enough to cleanse a major part of dissenters.
