Take the Deal!
I've been a lack-lustre Deputy PM for Dade, I'll be the first to admit it. Outside of some encouraging remarks I've done little on the positive front, and I've done plenty on the negative front stirring up scat with the CAF.
Well, now is the time to pitch in.
Dade, congress is a beast, and it likes to sit on its rear-end. It doesn't like to change and it doesn't like people looking at its sacred cows. This country will never improve until they change.
JB has led a huge contingent of cage rattlers into congress, they won't cow-tow, they will cow-tip if necessary.
You are the Commander-in-Chief of this nation and you have the authority to enter into rent-a-region deals.
My advice: take the Manitoba deal. It is good for eCanada even if its at a lower price. Go for it! It's not to late, go to the table and negotiate on price. We aren't a military power, let's negotiate like the economic power that we can be.
Congress will not be unanimous in their support of this, they also won't be unanimous in their support against it. Go with your gut and put the L in COLA.
Renting a region isn't blasphemy, this is a game. In a way I kind of hope that Poland doesn't want to give it back so that it creates a legit war to get it back. Inject some fun in this game guys!!!
Your daddy in trolling unity,

Put on the Nike shoes and "just do it"
agreed
Heaven's Gate did it:

The issue would be why did he ask congress to support it if he would just disregard the majorities position. It would not leave a good perception ie if you do not agree I'll just do it any way with out your rubber stamping my desires. A recipe for no cooperation in the future as it would indicate a total lack of respect for congress by the CP.
Don't ask if you do not wish to hear the answer I guess is a possible moral to the story.
You're right Jake, for me to ask congress then ignore their opinion would go against the spirit of cooperation. But if I had public support, I could justifiably overrule congress. I think I do have public support now, but the ship has sailed. I'd have loved to have asked the public earlier, but back then the information was too sensitive to release unfortunately.
It'll be interesting to see if this ship has sailed or if there's still an opportunity to rent out a region like Manitoba. Thank you for this article, Addy 🙂
Rent It! nao!
Lol @ dPM asking the PM a question in a PUBLIC ARTICLE. You know, theres a forum for this type of stuff.
Ya'll wanna publish your IRC chats too? 😛
Publicitymaxx
I hate to admit it, but I was going to say the exact same thing as Octo 😛
You know full well, if he did take the deal, you guys would be impeaching him again
The Penguin Revoultion is on it's way
@Relic10
Lolnah. Manitoba is useless.
Dade, if it's not too late, ask if they would rent it for cheaper. You never know if it's too late until you ask.
I don't get how this subject can be "sensitive" when so many wishes to rent out the region.
sensitive lol
Good article, Addy! 🙂
One thing to consider as part of the negotiation, is to ask for sureties. A number of those opposed to the deal, are concerned that territory taken to get to Manitoba, regions like Nunavut wouldn't be returned. a large sum of Polish gold, held until those transitional holdings are returned to Canada would no doubt mollify many who aren't too keen on this deal at present.
Goran Thrax
Do the deal Dade
I think you'd have a lot more support in congress if you asked us again!!
Rolo
Were were you when we discussed it in Congress, Addy?
It is nice how everybody knows better now when the window is closed. Dade did the rigth thing. It was a secret deal and everybody who screams "betreyal" now, would have screamed the same if he took the deal.
This is just cheap political bickering. You make me sick!
If we can't trust our allies, why are they our allies?
If Poland backstabs us and decides to sit on Manitoba after the agreement is done, they'll end up becoming the next UK, so the likelihood is that they won't do it.
People need to grow up and stop whining about "treason" and "unenforceable contracts" and start looking at better ways of playing this game.
All we do is fight each other. If Poland sits on Manitoba, we sure will have a lot of fun fighting them, instead. There really is no downside to it.
@Dr Pain;
I'm not a congressman so I didn't have a right to speak. Dade asked me my opinion when it came up and I supported it.
The issue now is whether or not to proceed without the support of congress.
You will have the support of Congress now...
Do it Dade
As the dPM you have the rigth to speak. Not even the most radical members of your party protested agaisnt this. 😉
You're selling my home, Addy? 😮
