[Can]**Canadians: Action Sounds Good, But Patience is Better**

Canada Is Alive...Again.

Seems like it is indeed. The thing is, why are we rushing to get it back on the map after a couple days? Most people are still exhausted from fighting for Ontario. Half the people who just moved out of Canada used their only tickets and are now working in foreign companies.

While I applaud Jacobi's administration for their quick thinking in getting Canada "back on the map", this is to me no more effective than a diversionary raid on enemy occupied soil a la Dieppe.

While we may keep these three Atlantic provinces for some time, there are several problems with this.

USA, Spain and our other allies in Europe are under invasion and we are focusing on retaking three of our regions that will fall at leisure anyways? I know we have fighting spirit, and trust me, I love this nation as much as any other eCanadian, if not more, but there has to be some sensibility. Everything has time to run its course.

There is a reason that me and several others decided to take a different approach to handling the liberation of Canada. Its slower, we're a smaller group, but its more permanent than balls-out rushing to get land back.

I have seen a mass panic of "Canada is back!!!!!" comments throughout and this is almost as bad as "Canada is screwed, run!!!!. What are we coming back to? Yes, we have our country, but after issuing a mass exodus, you can't just scream here and there to move people back.

Logistically, we cannot support a population yet, any MPPs signed help slightly but in the end, our MPPs didn't help then and won't bring much effect now, even against a single aggressor like Hungary.

Hospitals and Defence systems are shaky investments that require stability to implement. Telling me three of our smallest Atlantic provinces are a stable foothold is like saying an MG emplacement will hold back a Tiger tank.

The most important thing that a Canadian can do is to either move to USA or move to Spain, where the Canadian Resistance Movement is located.

Our priority has to be to protect our allies in these temporary homelands. If we lose Spain and USA, what the hell are we going to do up North? Seriously.

Like I said, if you are in Canada, you shouldn't be. Unless you're doing something really, really effective. Which I doubt.

Once in New Jersey or Asturias, as an average Canadian, you need to check off three things.

1. Am I working for a friendly company, and if possible, can I work for a Canadian company?

In that case, the Canadian Resistance Movement is implementing its "work 4 weapons" policy in which soldiers work at our community weapons companies in Spain and receive 4 weapons for free that they produced, or helped to make. This allows us to be self-sufficient and less of a burden on our allies. Perhaps the Jacobi faction has been implementing this already, its a good idea nonetheless.

2. Am I organized in a forum and frequently checking orders and discussion?

It is important to stay informed, wherever you are. Many of the Canadian factions/communities that emerged after the fall of Canada have their own platform and policy. Everyone's view on how to help Canada the best differs from community to community. This is why the people who support Jacobi are with Jacobi and people who don't are in other forums or communities. It is important to check out your respective forums and learn what battles are happening, what kind of diplomatic negotiations are going on (in the case of CRM at least) , and such. Being informed helps you from making bad judgments too early.

3. Am I saving up GOLD, learning game mechanics and being a loyal Canadian citizen whomever I support and wherever I am situated.?

We need community...and there's UNITY in that. Don't give away your Canadian citizenship, stay active, recruit members. You will be the generation that takes back Canada after a long fought war against imperialism. It is also recommended to stay mature in these times and resist the temptation to cuss out PEACE for taking our land. This sort of violence does not take us anywhere, because we are not in a military position to take anything back soon. Yes, I know, we are pissed off, but the way to solve this is through cooperation and diplomacy.

Thank you for reading and vote this up if you may.
