[Presidential Address] Are We having Fun yet?

Day 2,378, 09:49 • Published in Canada Canada • by DMV3


My Fellow eCanadians,

I am addressing you today to get you up to speed on everything that has been going on during this war, and to mark an important milestone in this conflict. While I have not addressed the nation much during a fair deal of this conflict, I plan on filling you all in on why I have been so quiet this term.



For me this month has been filled with ups and downs, but in the end I have thoroughly enjoyed this month and our success on the battlefield. I don't care to fight for medals as much as I care about winning the battle, and more importantly winning the war. I believe we have made great moves this month in regards to winning both the battles and eventually winning this war. Do not get me wrong, this war is far from over, but we have been making the right moves to help bring it to an end.

This month for me has been rather disappointing on the domestic front. While we will have a Congress this month, I found it difficult to get people motivated on our domestic agendas due to the war. My own activity in media was something I considered to be lackluster at best. I had often wondered why Rylde hadn't published more during his term, but after my term was underway I had discovered why media for a war President can be a difficult task.

During times of war, especially during a long-term occupation it is becomes difficult to publish articles for a variety of reasons. First off, you're extremely busy and distracted by trying to run battles, coordinate damage, and assisting allies. The second reason it becomes hard to write about the war is because during an occupation it is hard dealing with the fact that today's victories will end up being tomorrow's defeat, it's an endless cycle of capturing and losing territories. This endless cycle of gaining and losing territory weighs you down and makes it hard to celebrate success, when you know that success is only going to be a temporary measure.

The lack of a Congress and the lack of an interest in domestic policy also make publishing difficult since there becomes little to talk about other than the war. This is further compounded by the fact that there is so much that is happening during a war that can not be made public due to the need to keep information away from your enemy. Operational Security makes it very difficult to tell the people what we're going to be doing ahead of time and more importantly, why we're doing it.

We have however reached a turning point this month, we have seen enough success that we have accomplished a major goal I had set for us this month. We have secured a Congress. This will revitalize our community and help us focus more on a domestic agenda in addition to our war efforts. Another major turning point for this month is that our enemy's morale has reached a new low during this war. While they had been united and determined at the beginning of the month, our victories and their own internal issues have begun to take a toll on them. Instead of focusing on fighting us, they have begun to fight among themselves. And where we began the term trying to heal from a contentious campaign, we have become united in our victories and closer as a nation. While I had initially doubted our abilities to reconcile and make gains on the battlefield, I am glad our success on the battlefield has brought us closer together as a community, and it is my hope that we can continue to do both.



I have a strict agenda I wish to accomplish during the remainder of this term now that we have a Congress. I plan on pushing for repayment of our War Bonds, setting up repayment of a loan from our Australian friends in order to help secure our Congress, and most importantly liquidating our gold reserves so that they might be of some use to the eCandian people moving forward.

These things will help us resolve our obligations and move forward with the war. As I have stated this war is not yet over, but is merely starting to take a turn in our direction. It is because of that momentum that I have decided I will seek reelection in the month of June. We still have much to accomplish, but with your help we will make strides to end our occupation.

Long Live eCanada!

Your leader in resistance,
