[Dozzer4CP] New is never boring

Day 2,509, 13:25 Published in Canada Canada by Dozzer_x
Salutations and greetings.

My second article is about internal and francophone affairs, an extension on foreign affairs, and a conclusion on this month’s election and my campaign. The last part of my series, the make-up of the Cabinet, will be published tomorrow evening.

A cette occasion, je veux dire merci à les membres du Parti Francophone Canadien, qu’ils ont decidé de me soutenir à cette élection. Ceci est très important pour moi, et j’éspere que ainsi je pourrai faire la communauté francophone plus active et plus impliquée.

Malheureusement, parce que cet article est déjà très long, une version française sera écrite dans le prochain article.


PART II.d. INTERNAL AND FRANCOPHONE AFFAIRS

In what concerns our internal affairs, my government would go in three directions: activity, new&young players, internal threats to Canada’s stability.

ACTIVITY: I think a true community needs not only to be active on the battlefield, but also in other activities that this game offers. We have a political module, a media module and we also have some sort of social module. I know that these days people don’t feel like writing so much, and I believe that they need to be incentivised in order to become more active.

Factually, what I’m thinking about is that the government should cooperate with the political parties and military units to do something that Canada hasn’t seen for quite some time: to spark public debate, to create writing contests, and so and so. This will make our media more active, and our players more involved. Especially considering the fact that Canada will have her faith decided next month, I think it’s important to have as many people as possible inolved in the debate surrounding this issue.

NEW&YOUNG PLAYERS: One of Canada’s problems is the incapacity of our country to keep new and young players in game. Private initiatives, like the Praetors, have been started, and this is only positive for us. Thanks to Utat’s excellent activity in the Ministry of Education, we also have the tutorials that new players need. Again, what we don’t have is an incentive to keep these people in game. In this aspect, the government should collaborate with the private sector to find out ways to incentivise and get these young people involved. Already existing programs like the Military Unit Loan Program will be kept and expanded. I think the writing contests I’m thinking about will also get young people a voice and this will normally get them involved with the community.

INTERNAL THREATS: In the past months, Canada has seen a surge in Serbians coming to the country and trying to take over several parties. Thankfully, an ATO committee was set up by DMV3 and their efforts have been stopped. But the threat is still there, and must be permanently contained. I think the government should co-operate with the current cross-party committee and develop a comprehensive ATO strategy. It is the government’s duty to offer full support to these ATO efforts, in order to maintain Canada stable and secure. Because what comes from the inside may be more dangerous than external threats.

The other topic in this category is Francophone affairs. As I’ve already stated, I think the Francophone community is an integral part of our nation and should be included in all spheres of life. It’s also nice to see every now and then articles in French. As a Francophone myself (albeit at an intermediary level), it’s only natural for me to see this happen. I myself will promote the French language by writing at least 3 reports fully in French the following month. As a general rule, I aim to write one report in French for every two reports in English. It is my desire to trigger a surge in the activity of the French speakers, because I aim for diversity.


PART II.d. FOREIGN AFFAIRS (extension)

Because I’ve already done an analysis on this, the extension will be in Q&A format.

Q: Why should Canada first join an alliance before any new war?

A: Because Canada needs security before it needs fun. I’ve already stated that Canada will see fun under my term, maybe a NE, maybe an Air-Strike, but only after we get to resolve the foreign affairs issue. So, it’s not about riding teacups, it’s about taking all the safety measures before you ride the Silver Star at Europa Park.

Q: What is more important for Canada? Keeping her close friends or getting big allies?

A: I’d argue that both are important. While having our close friends makes us feel in a community, gives us a sense of belonging, being allied with big nations, while not being such close friends, is also a necessary step to make in case Canada is attacked. And we can only get this by being a selfless and reliable ally to all. A nation will not hesitate to help us if we help them, and this could be seen in Canada’s recent success at repelling the FYROM threat and getting Chile out of Europe, a big success for LETO/Asteria, that has been possible only because Canada pushed for it.

Q: Do you think Canada has a good standing internationally?

In the past two months, Canada has had an excellent international standing, thanks to the diplomatic breakthroughs made by the two governments of Thedillpickl and TheSmoke. The position Canada finds itself in this moment must be exploited, we must not let it slip away. We have a huge chance at getting in with big boys.

Q: What is better? A regional alliance, but with weaker countries or a global one, with stronger ones?

A: In my last article I’ve told you about how I prefer a regional alliance, but that there must be a balance between close friends and powerful allies. While a regional pact like ATLAS must be upheld and developed even further, we also need to belong to a family of nations that is more powerful and has the necessary infrastructure to have a healthy defence and attack.

Q: What about relations with our neighbours?

A: Our currently non-allied neighbours are the US, Ireland and the UK. I am definitely aiming for a better relationship with both the US and Ireland, and I think my government would have a better chance at improving those relations than another one, considering the past situations with the big southern neighbour. Unfortunately, for as long as the UK will go with Poland, there is nothing we can do about them. And while wars with UK are boring and draining, they will certainly take place in the future as well, for as long as Canada and UK will be in different camps.

Q: Where’s the fun if we only get to have friendly or neutral neighbours?

A: Canada’s a medium-sized country. We have the resources to have fun somewhere else. And I aim for something exotical. As long as we have the money for it, we’re going for an air-strike after we sort out the alliances. Where we go, is up for Canadians to decide. Altough I have my ideas. I think I’m not the only Canadian that has some money in their own accounts that they would like to spend on some tropical endeavour.

Q: Why would your foreign affairs team be more suited for Canada than, let’s say, Rylde’s?

A: Oh this is a simple question. First of all, my team has experience. I have people that have been involved with FA in these past months, and that have the necessary international relations to get Canada in a strong negotiating position. While Rylde’s foreign affairs team may be competent, they haven’t been involved with FA lately, and it’ll take quite some time for them to accomodate. Precious time that’s going to be wasted, and this means lost opportunities.


PART II.e. CONCLUSION

My conclusion is simple. This month, unlike what Rylde said, we don’t get to choose between riding teacups with me or a roller-coaster with him. We get to choose between riding a Soviet-era roller-coaster with Rylde, or brand new secure and crazy roller-coaster with me. While riding the Soviet-era one might be more fun for some, as it’s actually a threat to your security and to your life, if it breaks during the ride it can’t be repaired and you die. Meanwhile, you can get to ride my 200 km/h roller-coaster and feel like crazy, while also having ensured that you have taken the necessary cautions for safety and well-being.

Having never been President before, but with a long-enough experience in Executive affairs, I do believe that it’s my time to prove my worth and my love for the community I’ve been a part of for the past 2 years. And what better time can it be? It’s Foreign Affairs month!

It’s an opportunity we can’t afford to lose.
