A Warning to all eCanadian Citizens!

The following is a warning to eCanadian citizens.
I am writing this to voice my concern over the current happenings in the new government of eCanada. While I believe in giving everyone a fair opportunity to prove their abilities, I cannot in good conscience stand by and watch as the current government sets itself up for disaster. Not just a disaster for itself but a disaster for every eCanadian citizen.
The bulk of my concerns are over the current cabinet that has been put in place by Jacobi. When comparing the size of the previous cabinets to the size of the current cabinet, you will notice that Jacobi’s cabinet contains nearly twice as many members as those held by Bruck. My concern is that the government is opening up a Pandora’s Box. Every added cabinet member is an added variable and a risk that I personally do not approve of. Why are there so many unnecessary cabinet positions in existence with this administration? Why are there so many unqualified cabinet members holding major positions within the government. Inexperienced ministers should be in a secondary, deputy position to be mentored. Shouldn’t they?
Why is it that there are so many more positions in this cabinet than the last? It is my belief that there are several redundant positions at the moment only serving to weaken our security measures and raise a person’s social/political standing, rather than being of any real use. How will the current administration run an efficient, never mind effective, government with so many ministers tripping over each other?
How was the current cabinet selected? I don’t think it would be unreasonable to suggest that the current cabinet is filled with those Jacobi owed favors to. The old you scratch my back, I scratch your back.
An argument could be made that these cabinet members are trustworthy members of eCanada who have earned their stations. While I will not say that all members of the cabinet are untrustworthy or unproven, I will say that there are many members who have not taken an active role in eCanada and have not earned the responsibility that they have been charged with. If you think that the scandals of the last administration were bad, this new government has set themselves up to do far more damage.
With all these added cabinet members we are face with the possibility of security breaches and a greater potential for theft. Not only is there greater potential but we will also be faced with the fact that it will be far harder to investigate any thefts as there will be far more suspects to sort through.
Please also remember that every last one of those cabinet members have full access to all of our nations secrets. The information they have access to, if placed in the wrong hands, could be used to utterly cripple our country.
There are rumors that the cabinet is in utter chaos with resignations already beginning. Will this just be an ineffective, revolving door cabinet?
Mistakes were made by the last administration and I would like to see the current administration put aside their arrogance and learn from those mistakes lest we be doomed to repeat them. In my opinion, the current administration has cast serious doubt on their abilities to run an effective government.
It is not my intent to spite Jacobi and his cabinet but as a responsible eCanadian citizen I feel that this must be brought to light and discussed

What i'm seeing with our current Cabinet is that jacobi is trying to get Boomers involved but there is a limit to the involvement. I'm in favor of getting everyone involved that we can of course but I know some of our current Cabinet members are in way over their heads right now because they have been thrust into full cabinet positions without prior experence.
This is poor planning and will result in catastrophie, thats experence talking.
As a sort of boomer myself I understand why Jacobi (and these cabinet members) would attempt to do such a thing. It may seem like a good idea now, but as a leader one must be able to put pride aside and be able to PREVENT possible dangerous situations from occuring. This is why we have deputy positions, to mentor potentially great candidates, who are blooming into their prime. Placing them immediately into cabinet to satisfy the ego of a new president and a new cabinet serves no one any benefits. If something goes wrong, we all lose. There is a certain responsibility required of a president, and of his advisors, and in this case, I see it as a failure of the president and his top advisors to uphold their duty to canada.
They are putting us at risk, unnecessary and unnacceptable. Weve already seen the situation at MoF, where this administration blundered quite publicly and, I must say, foolishly.
As a president, failure in this capacity is not tolerated. Jacobi has a duty not to be able to fix any problems, but to prevent them from occuring in the first place. This is dangerous negligence of responsibility, and even though I understand the need and urge to advance through ecanadas ranks, there must be a way to go about it. This is not it..... Right now we can only hope that the worst doesn't happen.
agreed. The more we have that are interested in politics the better but we have to phase in new members in a responsible way
Uh oh, it seems the Helmets are out looking to rumble with the Fedoras. Agreed, Jacobi needs to be more careful and take it easy when people are looking for a reason to razz the new guy. 🙂
I think it is far more dangerous to put all your eggs in one basket. Having one person always doing the same job leaves little room for experience (which requires error). New minds are needed to develop a greater system and make a better eCanada.
But would you thrust a student into a full time career, not an entry level job but management and decision making positions. No, that would be a recipe for dissaster. Right now thats what we have, a freshly baked dissaster waiting to happen.
Coda I completely agree. But this is why we have deputies. They can train, they can gain experience, they can help make decisions, but they are slowly introduced into the responsibility that we as canadians have a right to know our leaders have earned!
by nearly doubling the cabinet and adding in so much new untrained citizens, we are taking an unnecesssary risk, if there is an error, we cant afford to experience the consequences, and with this group we dont know how thigns will turn out. That is a problem... it comes dangerously close to violating the trust we put in our government.
"Weve already seen the situation at MoF, where this administration blundered quite publicly and, I must say, foolishly. "
@ jbdivinus
What was this blunder? Was it the one right after the election? If my memory serves me right that was because Jacobi wasn't given the finance passwords from the last administration until 4pm the day after the election.
Also Jacobi has stated publically he was doing the majority of the MoFs job. So the changes in that position does really matter.
He didn't request it until a hour or two before either
A President needs to be on top of those things
no thats not it. Duke Leto was pronounced MIA after being gone two days. He lost his cabinet position and it was given to Marchelala but then Duke Leto came back...no one had even contacted him to see if he was actually goen... excuse me if i got the post wrong. Its the situation im talking about
i voted for alex.
According to the second law of thermodynamics (and I am paraphrasing): The more energy you put into a closed system, the more complex the patterns of that energy become.
Although I haven't been a part of E-Republic for very long, I'm guessing that what is happening in the Canadian Cabinet is only the end result of adding too much time and energy into the closed system of government. If Jacobi were to stop adding useless persons into positions of power and cut out the redundant party members then logically the system should return to equilibrium.
SCIENCE!!
Give Jacobi and his cabinet the benefit of the doubt....give them a couple more days to settle in before roasting them over the fire. THEN, if there are still issues, let them have it ! 😛
These people would have NEVER gotten the chance at being deputies or really learning about the jobs because all the jobs were done by a few ministers who spread themselves too thin. It would be nice to see old and new governments applaud the efforts of this cabinet. Its fresh thinking and forward - which COULD have its falls, but so did the last government, and the one before that! Lets show support for newer members, give them advice, tips, and help them on their way to bringing Canada to a new level of government.

No that isn't the situation.
Duke Leto went away so Marcchelala being the MoAA was assigned as deputy MoFa. Duke Leto never lost MoFa.
Propaganda is what propaganda does.

There aren't any issues yet that's why I see this article as epic fail.
I admit to mistakes, I could have handled the Marchelala/Leto mia thing better, sure. I am happy the mistake I made was so minimal that I can learn from it with no damage done.
I am extraordinarily happy with my cabinet, from Scorpius to ElDorino, to Marchelala, to Emilio, to Adasko, I'm really quite happy.
I'm happy because I've got a group of dedicated and intelligent people doing their best to make our country better. I wish people had a better view to see all the valued help that I'm getting from Kelly Mahoney and Duke Leto. Even from Ambassadors like Volsung and Fram, its amazing!
We have such a great country, such a great group of people that it makes me proud to be Prime Minister. 🙂
Well of course your happy, 80% of Cabinet is not CEP or CPP and thus most likely voted for you.
Hell, if I had gone to such lengths to exclude a rival party I would be thrilled come post-election. Unfortunately I was inclusive and thus had to make due with quality.
Grow up Bruck.
The Bank of Europe:
What I find MOST troubling is not the fact that these new guys are in POWER. What I found troubling is the fact that two experienced ministers of 3-6 months from your administration have already been outdone by the current administration and one of those ministers has made a mistake which, caused Canada to lose hundreds of gold for the production of our defense systems by paying too much for the wages of the workers in that company.
We could have bought defense companies for 350g instead with super high wages we made them ourselves for 425g.
I was not aware that you were a cabinet member. You are a cabinet member right? If not that is privileged information. I guess that would mean there is a leak in the current administration? Some people value information as highly as gold and cad and cause far more damage with it.
Jacobi:
Your cabinet proposal had a total of 11 people mentioned in it. They may be wonderful people but the fact is that the cabinet you proposed didn't have the numbers it has now. Who are these people?
Keldire lol noob
You can grab that information with Big Brother's salary tool on erepublik tools. Wages of MoI are public now with that tool.
PEACE maybe rolling into the continent on Monday. The kinks in the administration need to be worked out fast.
Inexperience is what PEACE feeds on and is what they're counting on. We can't afford to be bumbling right now. We need steadfast leadership to face this new threat.
Now we don't just have the great eCanadian battle of CSD and CEP, we now have a generations war brewing between our Boomers and pre-Boomers too. Did we really need a new divide in this country now?
I don't want to end up serving my new "Hun" overlords.
I smell hypocrisy
do not waste your time in arguments .. keep vital passwords in the hand of very few .. to minimize risk.. and yes more non-passwords positions are good to increase efficiency and to institutionalize eCanada. The new government is still new so give them time to settle and get things going, in the mean time, i think you need to work on anti-PTO system as congress election is coming soon..
I agree with Coda, we need to allow more people to get experience, the you scratch my back I will scratch yours is far more suited to the antics of the 'inner circle' of eCanadian high politics.
Let Jacobi and his cabinet have their chance, sniping will not help anyone, the people chose change knowing what the cabinet would be, as they chose to do when defending Germany from a so called former ally.
I wouldn't call this political mud-slinging, but it seems perilously close to it. Bruck, you make valid points, things have been done in the past by others that no one wishes to see happen again, and it's also true that the current situation is a possible invitation to disaster.
But, it's also a valid idea to give someone the benefit of the doubt. As of this writing, I can't see where Jacobi has definitively taken a misstep towards eCanada's doom. True, past administrations of eCanada have had mistakes, but let not this goverment inherit a legacy of misdeeds and accusastions, but rather a promising hand up in the right direction.
And also, yes, this could result in disaster, but it might lead to a wonderful wealth of new oppurtunities, bringing forth new ideas and inspired members of eCanadian society. The only way to get sparkling diamonds is enormous pressure on an otherwise unspectacular piece of coal.
You've definitely served your warning Bruck, I bet many people will be watching Jacobi and his administrration to see how he fares, I know I will be.
bruck you claim that we are too inexperienced. the only reason some of us might not have had a chance to GAIN experience is because term after term you appointed the EXACT same veteran players, cutting off new potentially great politicians from training. even if what you say is correct, you did it yourself. stop blaming your shortcomings on your successors
Bruck.....
SOUR GRAPES!SOUR GRAPES!SOUR GRAPES!SOUR GRAPES!SOUR GRAPES!SOUR GRAPES!
Maybe we need more provincial positions so that newcomers can gain experience on a smaller stage. "Just because you can manage 7/11 doesn't mean you're ready for walmart"-dumbass.
@Markus
I agree fully.
lol Scorpius
You refused a cabinet position I offered you during my terms, you can't complain about not getting a chance one bit.
The cycle of mud slinging begins again, should I check my closet for the bogey man?
Lol Markus Millhaven that was a great quote XD
So far all I see is a lot of bitching and moan from those unhappy with being outside looking in.
No real crisis to speak of, just the usual fumbling around that happens at the start of a new admin. Minor at best and very petty to be complaining about...
citizenRobyn
"So far all I see is a lot of bitching and moan from those unhappy with being outside looking in."
Couldn't have said it better. I am glad it's obvious to others as well.
Excuse me Bruck, most of your administration was CEP or any one else in your Coalition. So, shut up you Hypochrite.
@ Duke Leto, fully agreed
This article isn't accurate in any way. There has only been one mistake and that was fixed within the day and now we have two prime MoFA. So far as a member of congress I have seen more activity from cabinet members than ever before. I can finally make more informed decisions based on numbers provided by the cabinet.
I think Jacobi did a great job in picking the cabinet and unless you know something that I don't, the so called "inexperienced" cabinet is doing a great job so far.
lol bruck i have no memory of EVER being offered a cabinet position by you 😛 can you remind me
Mommy! Mommy! Can i see the Hypochritipottamus!
Guess what sweety there is one in this room over there wearing the helmet
Oh, I see it now
It would seem the old guard has a short memory.
I'm still waiting for them to show me an actual problem rather than all these "potential" problems they keep bringing up.
its nothing more then propaganda andy. CEP and alex thought for sure they would win this election and they (the CEP, not alex) are just being pissy now that they are (finally) out of power
Okay, everyone go sit in the corner and count to 20, then take a minute to think of something nice the other party has done. When you feel you're ready, come back to the playroom for storytime and a snack.
Scorpius! I saw that. Stop pulling on Saint Ziggy's ponytail or you'll have no cookies.
I think Jacobi is doing a great job and everyone is jumping on his case before the paint dries. Just like in all government, the looser of the race disparages the winner.
Keep up the good work Jacobi!
My comment would've ben way too long, so I posted an article 🙂

I have to say i find it funny that so many are sending this new cabinet to the stake who not only 2 weeks ago were defending a cabinet whom made even larger mistakes with well over three times the experiance. For such small errors to have occured when the cabinet is filled with so many so called "inexperianced" members veruses the epic mistakes made by our MoF whom served for 3 terms i believe(I am fairly new to eCanada aka a boomer)prior to the elections is by far more impressive to myself than what these same witch hunters were accepting as honest mistakes before. Perhaps instead of attacking this group of New comers with harsh words, perhaps a bit of humility is needed by those now looking inward. Offer supportive advice instead of this critical critasisim. The people have spoken and want fresh blood in charge, this is the chance for the old boys to show they are not looking to hold eCanada back and instead can grow with it and stand next to this group and pave a new way as we are at a point were the world plateform is changing and we need to make our mark and find our place!
The way Salad see's it folks is this. Bruck did the best he could and sure he had some major problems. His time is over for now. Let's watch Jacobi for this term and then base our opinions on that
i say that people should comment on this article, not each other. so far im leaning toword agreeing with the bruck based your behavor alone.
CEP sour grapes.
If the majority of Canadians don't want me to be Minister of Communications, I will resign immediately. I don't wish to work in this position if Canadians can't trust me.
