The eCanadian Financial Times goes live today leading with the story of the early Presidential Impeachment vote in eCanada and a brief look at the ecanadian economy.



The Canadian Armed Forces alongside Canadian based militia The Crimson Order struck late last night in Australia attempting to fight back waves and waves of Indonesian Forces.

Canadian forces battled hard alongside their Australian brothers however ultimately, it was not enough to stem the tide. New South Wales was eventually lost to the aggressive and destructive Indonesian Forces who are, as you read this, moving on and into Queensland pillaging towns and cities along their way.

These latest events come after a short lull in warfare between the two nations; historically, Indonesia has been an aggressive nation and Australia has, for a long time, suffered the full brunt of the force sharing borders with many Indonesian regions.



Yesterday, Rylde, congressperson representing the Northwest Territories of Canada, proposed the impeachment of Canadian Prime Minister Kazuo Leblanc just 4 days into his term. Prime Minister Leblanc has met a mixed reception upon his election. This is perhaps reflected in the very small margin of victory he enjoyed.

The impeachment vote has already been rejected with 19 of the 40 congresspersons having voted against; 27 votes are required to successfully impeach the Prime Minister if all 40 elected congresspersons use their vote.

The true feelings of the Canadian parliament with regards the Prime Minister are unclear as protocol required them to vote against the impeachment vote as the customary 24 hour debate period required by Canadian law had not passed prior to the creation of the vote.

Following the conclusion of the vote, Kazuo Leblanc will be immune from impeachment for a period of 7 days before the vote can be brought again.



Finally, it doesn't take a genius to see the huge downturn in the worldwide economy over the past few weeks. Many people reading this will remember the days when we were able to buy 1 unit of gold for just $30; this has now increased to $425 per unit of gold; that is an increase of over 1400%. This is of course good news for those who stockpiled gold bars; but for the average Canadian; their dollar does not stretch anywhere near as far any more.

The product market however, has remained relatively unmoved by the downturn in the monetary exchange with the basic cost of living increasing by only cents in the past weeks.
