Embassy of Canada

Thank you! We are glad to be here and will have some news for you soon.

Congratulations on a job well done with the new forum!
 
*Taking a moment to stretch out in the morning sun, I read over the latest report.* "Wow, one of my quotes made it on...JG is so cool."
*turning to TV* "Would you like to read over this before I post it?"
 
Setting down a box of legal reference books, TV wipes his brow and takes the neatyl typed report. Nodding, he returns the report and kisses KG on the cheek. "Nice job."

Returning to the box of books, he shakes his head and steps over it, heading for the large plasma screen on the wall, and, grabbing a cold lemonade he drops onto the leather sofa and flips on ESPN.
 
*grinning, at TV, I roll my eyes* "You and your sports" :lol:
*I walk across the room and post the new report*

  • We have reopened our embassy with The West Pacific.
  • We have closed our embassy in The Tableland. I need a smiley with an emo tear in this forum. And cowbell. I've got a fever and the only thing that's going to cure it is more cowbell.
  • Diplomatic relations have soured between Judith Gap and his sanity. Both parties are seeking impartial negotiation.
  • Welcome to Great Bights Mum, our ambassador from The West Pacific; Pacifist Cowards, our temporary ambassador from Q102; and Haken, visiting dignitary from Belgium!
Regional Affairs:
  • In sporting news, Canada6 continues to lead Canada's hockey league. Whereas, Where are the CBs has claimed the lead in Equilism's Basketball League.
  • T & P's Shoreline Spot, Canada's only restaurant, has been redecorated for Christmas. At the first sign of over-hasty pudding, I'm out of there.
  • Special welcome to newcomers: Valiturus, le canada, kweezy, conguered-land, and jaldar.
Governmental Affairs
  • Canada voted FOR a the UN proposal - Repeal of the UCPL.
  • During the week, the Progressive party called for the removal of all ministers, just like real life Canada (3 weeks before regularly scheduled elections!). Support for the motion has yet to be garnered from forum participants.
OOC Happenings:
  • Quite a bit happened to our forum dwellers, but alas, this section of the report is incomplete.

Special Feature - Random Quote from a board other than Canada
Defectivity (North Pacific) - Further, there is a reason that only the current Council can read that which goes on behind 'closed doors'.

And maybe we are getting a little defensive, but the last time someone came in spouting the same 'status-quo' and 'oligarchy' nonsense, the regional government essentially collapsed. This latest Council was the first Council in a long time that managed to return the region to normalcy in any way, shape, or form.

If you want campaigning, try a region with more active people - fortunately, our government and the people who make them up are extremely close-knit. At least a couple of us know another in the current government in RL (I recruited S... myself, and as of this writing his computer lies not four feet away). Maybe it's unfortunate to you, but I see it as being much more relaxed and efficient. I can rant and huff and puff all I like in the Council chamber, and there's no hard feelings for it, because none of us hold that against the others in a personal manner. Emotional outbursts don't halt the government, and that's something we should be happy about.

  • Special welcomes to Moldavistan of Gatesville and punk daddy of The South Pacific.
  • Errata: In last weeks report, I incorrectly identified Great Bights Mum as being a member of TWP. I was apparently consuming insane root. GBM is our ambassador from The North Pacific. Sorry about that.
Regional Affairs:
  • In sporting news, Canada6 continues to lead Canada's hockey league.
  • In regional politics, Phil Jackson has been active in creating the Socialist Alliance and in posting many position statements. His activities seem as if they may awaken many of the other major parties.
Governmental Affairs
  • Canada seems like it will be voting AGAINST the UN proposal - Right to Divorce.
  • Canada voted FOR the UN proposal - Rights of Neutral States.
  • Concerns about espionage and The South Pacific had many people in Canada concerned that TSP was not behaving democratically and some wanted assurance that no Canadian minister was involved in similar espionage. Even though events in TSP were settled, the ferver continued in Canada.

    As a direct result of our region's arguing about the events in TSP, bweezy decided to quit the boards in Canada (although we hope he returns soon. It's cold out there, and he didn't even take his coat.); Hudson Bay also resigned his position as Minister of Justice. Another direct result is that the forum has called for cabinet to review a loophole in the Conflict of Interest guidelines.
  • Parrrrtay has been elevated to Interim Minister of Justice. Once she receives a vote of confidence, she will become the new minister. Tiny Villages has accepted the position of Deputy Minister.
OOC Happenings:
  • Defectiveness, a recent member of our boards who disappeared for a while, has reappeared to the delight of many of Canadians. We missed you Defec!
  • Special credit goes to our Prime Ministress, Checkers McDog, for bringing Defec back to us :)
  • canada_6 has updated his signature, which has a picture of three of our past Prime Ministers, to having 3 past Prime Ministers -- with Santa hats on! Nothing says Christmas like Prime Ministers in Santa Hats.
  • Beaver-Country-Canada received her new, shiny black iPod in the mail! She was very excited.

  • bweezy's daughter has an illness called "croup", and he has been taking care of her. Best wishes go out to bweezy and his daughter.
  • Parrrrtay has spent the last couple days running and hiding from an auditor of her business. So far, she's having success!
  • TinyVillages brought his son's cookies to work to share with his boss. Unfortunately, said cookies were made of some fairly unbalanced ingredients, so they didn't taste all that great -- and while he is still employed, his boss spent half a day trying to wash the taste out of his mouth!
  • We've been having a discussion on handguns, the legality of them, and how lots of them are being smuggled into Canada lately...
  • Redundancies saw a shootout between the Blue Jackets and another team, of which was not named. The Blue Jackets also won said game.

Special Feature - Random Quote from a board other than Canada
Mikitivity (International Democratic Union) - The IDU stands for secular government. We support as a basic human right the right to worship without interence from the state, and also the right to govern without interference from the church.

The above was part of the original discussion that was not included in the posts. It was proposed by Sober Thought as a starting point.

Basically the back story is that we were discussing the relationship between religion and democracy, and in doing so reached a consensus that this sort of discussion should be had in a public forum, because it involves all of us!

During the past week, our Prime Ministress, Checkers McDog, made an announcement that came as a complete surprise to the region. I am quoting her message for you:
I don't even know where to begin....but..., I will be stepping down as Delegate of Canada.

I have been delegate since March of last year when Bweezy stepped down, and I feel we're long overdue for some new blood. In the past year and 8 months we've gotten a lot done, and I take pride in the fact that I helped to make Canada into the most active user-created region in NationStates.

Personally, I just do not have the time to devote to the position any longer. My participation in Cabinet is dropping by the day. Many months ago I had said that if I felt that my leadership was slipping, I will step down, and I'm going to keep that promise to the region.

Our regional government has come a long way since I first became delegate. I feel that no matter what changes there are in who is in Cabinet, it will remain strong through the standard that has been created; we now have the laws, rules, and mechanisms in place to always keep our Cabinet functioning well.

I will be leaving the region on the night of December 16th to wipe my endorsements clean. On the 17th you will have a new Delegate and Prime Minister. (And as per our new laws, there will be a vote of confidence for our new PM).

Please take note of who will be delegate when I leave. There are several candidates in the running, which endorsement totals not too far apart. Please consider the next few days as a sort of "delegate election". Endorse those who you want to be delegate, and remove them from those you do not want ending up as delegate. I will be removing all my endorsements of others, except for one, to show my support for who I feel should be the next delegate of Canada. In any case though, the decision is up to the nations of this region...you have until the 16th to decide

Canada is known throughout NS as being a region of great political stability, and I hope that the next delegate of this region can help maintain that.

Before I get a wave of PMs and posts about me reconsidering, please note that I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I will not change my mind about stepping down (unless for serious security concerns). Also please keep in mind, that though I am stepping down as Delegate, I am not retiring from regional politics, and I will definitely not be leaving the region or forum.

I've enjoyed being Delegate of this great region, and I wish my successor the best of luck.
Click to expand...
Currently Canada is in the midst of discussions and realigning of endorsement figures to support the person who will be the next delegate. At present, Parrrrtay, Daemon, and Carbanousa have announced their intentions to run for the delegacy. A few other nations who do not participate on the regional discussion board would also appear to be running for the delegacy: Ishmiel, Meldrum, Jaldar, and Hougadouga. The current endorsement count is being updated each day by Daemon so that everyone can tell who seems to be seeking endorsement.

With all of the new constitutional provisions that had been drafted in case of just this sort of emergency, we are confident that the region will select candidates that it supports. Consequently, the cabinet of Canada has not restrcited any member nation's ability to seek the delegacy. Since the election of the deleagte occurs entirely in the NS site, the off-site forum boards serve as a place for the all of the nations to discuss candidates and endorsing strategies.

If I can answer any questions about this situation, please don't hesitate to ask me.

SURPRISE!

There's a one-off change this week...

Seriously though, when our Minister of Foreign Affairs Judith Gap suggested this idea, it was thought a great idea, and so for this week, I'll be making a tour of each Canadian Embassy. I don't really know what to say, so I'll try and put down some thoughts and feelings.

Firstly I would like to say “Hello” to The North Pacific and that I look forward to working with you all, for which I am very enthusiastic. I'm hoping to be able to drop by three or four times a week for some fun and games and to generally irk people with random insanity and nonsensical gibberish... Speaking of which, have you ever noticed how a seemingly benign sentence can tangent to how Penguins are constantly plotting to achieve world domination through the use of jam sandwiches. Impossible, I hear you cry? Improbable, more likely . This is is best bit though – the Weasels are aware of the Penguins plot and plan to stop them.

I hope that everyone had a great holiday period, and that the New Year is both fruitful and productive in both NationStates and real life. The Weasels, you see, are secretly working for the flying-monkeys who have infiltrated the Penguins echelons of command.
I trust that all is well in The North Pacific and I appreciate I've got some big shoes to fill. Speaking of which, these really are fantastic shoes – so sparkley and bright. I must find out where they came from.

Enough! Enough I say! I've bored you for long enough now, so here's to the future and enjoy the following report.

This resolution generated quite a bit of debate and prompted cabinet to go back to the drawing board.

Defectiveness rates Underworld: Evolution -
Depends what you're looking for in a movie. If it's blood, violence, and gratuitous nudity, it's got it all. And a not-half-bad plot, full of mystical B.S. So when taken in the context of an action movie, probably 8.5-9/10.
However, unless you like action movies, this one would just rate low and needlessly violent. Viewer discretion advised, and all that jazz.

Not really a film, but more of a docu-drama than rockumentry, documenting the growth of the skateboard culture during the late 1950's and 1960's America. It mainly focuses on a team called the Zephyr's. An interesting watch and these kids really were CrAzy...

Diplomatic Events
  • The parties continue for the opening galas from last week. Yikes, we may be lushes!
  • Although flattered, Canada voted against exchanging embassies with Ireland.
  • Special welcomes to Catlandatopia of Spinward, North Pacific Ambassador of North Pacific, General BenjaminA of Allied States of EuroIslanders, and Westmorlandia of Great Britain and Ireland.
Regional Affairs:
  • The Village

    - Jack Tarr is hosting a toga party in The Spot to celebrate one year on our forums! He's having fun pushing all the skimpily clad women into the pool. (Can you see a pattern forming here?! *grins* )
    - Fighting has calmed down between The He Man Woman Haters Club and GARPA, but I'm thinking reading this will get things going again! *evil laugh*

  • War and Politics

    They're still out there, Some rats who left the sinking ship
    - Boreal Tundrian soldiers find disturbing evidence that the old C-Ton Foundation transformed into an even more radical organization, the "Blade of the Prophet", after the conquest of C-Ton. Boreal Tundra is working hard to decrypt the documents that they found.
    - 28 civilians die when a bomb detonates on a crowded Gemetrian bus in the suburbs of Tiar. Tiar is the Gemetrian name for a former C-Ton port city, and the capital of the Gemetrian province of Ur-Hyron. Gemetrian police are still investigating.
    - Multiple blasts rock the nation of Durass. Notably, a SkyTram erupts in fire. C-Ton terrorists are suspected.

    The Shroud
    - War! Legate Grimson dissolves the 2nd Republic and arrests both Consuls. Gemetria is witness to the crowning of Grimson as Tyrant.
    - The Grimsonite and Consular legions battle across the country. The colonies of Gemetrian Iran, Gemetrian Micronesia, the Gemetrian Congo, and the Martian Colonies declare themselves for Grimson. Civil war is still bitterly fought in Northern Mainland Gemetria, however Grimson has Dis and Caenia. Western C-Ton has turned into a Consular bastion as Legate Fox digs in for a long war.

    Religious Fanatics Strike Labious
    - Labious, a CB provincial capital, witnesses the terrible bombing. Four thousand are dead, and many more are injured. A Christian fundamentalist group claims responsibility.
    - The CB government, incensed by this attack, cracks down on public worship and civil rights.

Jack Tarr- Your confusion has produced my clarity. Thanks.

Liarg - Actually, that is probably too easy of an answer.  We need to come up with something convoluted, involving at least 2 or three separate votes over a 2 month time span, interspersed with random drug testing and a DNA sample placed on file in case something should go terribly wrong.  Maybe even throw a couple of intentional loop holes into the mix so a smart nation could circumvent something, causing another crisis and keeping us all talking about something.... :lol:

Sorry Shay, but yours is just too simple and easy to understand and implement.  Very un-governmental, ya know..... ;)

Hello everyone. I am your new ambassador from Canada. As the old ambassador went innactive. I will update you soon on the goings of Canada.

If you have any questions regaurding the current Canada, just ask.
 
King Girl was just here five days ago. You guys are strict about your activity levels. :blink:

Anyways, welcome to the North Pacific, General. :hello:
 
LOL.

I have a few questions:

Will my membership of the RLA(RLAI) and my membership of ASE affect my ability to be a ambassador here?

What are the main branches of government?

Explain the government set up to me please?

Thanks a bunch.
 
I personally see nothing wrong with your membership with the RLA though that cannot be guaranteed with everyone else, as a region: no problem.

As for our government, our delegate is merely a ceremonial position like that of the Queen in the Canadian Constitution. We elect a Prime Minister and all other cabinet ministers with most major decisions voted on by the Regional Assembly. Issues pertaining to the constitution must be voted by all registered voters.

As a fellow Canadian myself (in RL) and a refugee there during some of our NS troubles, I'm proud to have you here!

Any other questions, just ask! And most importantly, have fun!
 
Basically this is the Executive Branch

UN Delegate (Honeysheep)
Vice Delegate (Tresville)
Prime Minister (Flemingovia)

Cabinet:

Minister of Justice (mr. sniffles)
"" of Communications (Ator People)
"" of Immigration and Internal Affairs (Hersfold)
"" of External Affairs (Haor Chall)
"" of Arts and Entertainment (Indie Girl)
"" of Culture and Education (I think Namyeknom)
"" of Defense (Dalimbar)

Judiciary:
Chief Justice (Byardkuria)
Ass. Justices (2 of these) (dunno)

Legislature:
Regional Assembly (numerous roles)
Security Council (I forgot)
RA Speaker (Member of Cabinet) (wiz)
 
The Speaker of the Regional Assembly is not a member of the Cabinet, but is the head of the legislative branch.

The Security Council is a elected committee of the Regional Assembly designated to act for the region on security issues when requested.
 
Oh.................................................................................................. I like these dots.................................................................

Anyway, welcome ambassador guy-dude?
 
Hello friends....I had no idea I had gone inactive. My last posts were on Feb 13 and I went on a RL vacation for a few days. I am sorry if anyone was under the impression that I wasn't enjoying my job here. I love TNP!!!!!
 
I believe there is a small misunderstanding, which will shortly be put to rights.

KG, keep on doing what you do so well. ;)
