Just taking the recent trend of posting C.V.'s to start a Presidential campaign to its logical extreme.
Yes, I am running for President on August 5th, with all the multimedia fun that it entails. In the coming two weeks I'll be writing a series of articles, posting a few ads, and glad handing my way around the endorsing parties. The campaign I will run will focus on three major thrusts: Administrative Reform, Economic Reform, and Social Reform.
Poultry Reform will, sadly, have to wait
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please give me a shout or just post in the comments below. I will do my best to answer any requests for information you may have
🙂.
The one question I will answer in public is Why run for President now?;
Even as an American citizen, I found myself being asked by over a dozen prominent Canadians to consider running for the Presidency of Canada. I think most of us can agree that we've seen a drift in Canada lately, a sort of stagnation that we really can't afford to have in government at any time, much less the start of V2. As a simple citizen, or even as an advisor, there's only so much that you can do and I have all too often thought about what I would do if I was President again. For the last six months I have passed on opportunity after opportunity to run primarily to give other players the experience to run our executive government. This approach seems to have met with decidedly mixed results. And while new blood is important, and the cabinet I will be putting into play will see some old hands and then some new players just beginning their ascent into political office,sometimes stability, experience, proven integrity and decisive leadership trump unproven and untested change for change's sake.
At day change August 6th, I want to help right the ship and get Canada firmly on the path of economic prosperity, international involvement, and honest government.
I hope you'll join me.

JACOBI FOR PM ... AGAIN ... AND AGAIN! ... THEN AGAIN!
:3
damn 3 articles for three days. Jacobi's getting all active up in this place.
And he's mah friend on facebook!!!!!!!
Hope you win, bro.
Plato once wrote that the punishment for not attaining high political office is having to watch a lesser person lead your country.
Good show! I'm excited for what this campaign will bring!
how many times is it now you have used that artiicle title?
Buy my Iron eCanada... or I use one of my other 50 export licences lol
HOT DAMN! 😮
u will have my vote!
Jacobi for President!
You can again into Presidency, my friend! 🙂
Obviously this Jacobi guy is not qualified for the job.
Btw ... I recommend you to appoint a Poultry Reform Minister. It's very important, and every single CP never managed to reform it. It needs to be done ASAP for the chickens' sake!
jfstpierre, I respectfully request you lift the leadership ban on TemujinBC so that I may accept the position of Minister of Poultry Reform.
This nations needs leadership in this area, you know it to be true!
Constitutionally the power of the President to appoint a Poultry Reform Minister cannot be abridged by the Supreme Court.
Jacobi for president 🙂
Jacobi, did you really promise to support a Francophone Office that had more autonomy than the CSIS?
If you promise to do something, I'll vote for you.
Something may not include writing article or "solving" a robbery.
Something may include making a firm decision about Renting (Regardless if it's right or wrong, just make a decision and stick to it).
only atoms: how could any organization in Canada have more autonomy than CSIS? What powers DONT they have? A President can't even fire the director.
Billy Fleming: My decision, firm and solid on renting, is I won't agree to a renting deal on any titanium region during my term of office.
oh god.. last thing we need.
You have my vote.
Indeed, and Jacobi, what would be the reason for that?
The reason is that CSIS holds no real official or constitutional position within Canada. Its practically has the same relationship with the government as the Forum Admin Team does, which is to say no accountability but the relationship could be terminated at any time.
I hope your cabanit is Pro-Penguin
Will you obey teh Hypnotoad? 😉
But honestly, I just moved here, and will need to learn more about the current situation before giving my support.
Awesomeness! It's finally gonna be worthwhile to switch back to being a Canadian citizen again; no more "misplaced" funds, role-playing silliness, and other ineptness 🙂.
So the FO has the same status as the CSIS except the relationship with the FO can't be terminated by the CP. Can you think of any reason why this would be necessary?
The FO proponents are giving you credit for being the 'author' of the status, even though you weren't CP at the time of it's birth.
Yeah!
And your first act as CP should be...
INVADE THE US!
Those rat-bastards have had it too good for too long, and don't appreciate Tim Horton doughnuts or Labatt's Beer!
The FO, as far as I know, is chartered off an act of Congress which like anything else can be modified by a 50%+1 vote.
Now that's weird because at the time of the FOs inception, it was claimed to be CP (you) created because only a CP can create a department with special status like the CSIS.
yep, things definitely need to be shaken up.
Good luck jacobi !
Go Jacobi!
I do not believe I claimed that only atoms though the CP certainly CAN create departments.
~hyuu~ o/
Welcome back to eCanadian politics! I guess this also means you won't be endorsing Moffington's CP candidacy. Plenty of new and more interesting issues to tackle here in eCanada now that V2 is on and there's a monopoly to manage.
Finnally we will be able to vote for jacobi on the 5th 😃
Jacobi for President
For life.
>> CSIS:
The Director can be changed by the President with the election of Congress. It's written down in the CSIS Act. Jacobi, please read it, even though it's 18-pages long. It has an official and legal status in eCanada. 😛
The CSIS is accountable to the President and to the Congress via an unused committee that proved to be useless after 2 terms and via the Inspector General, an institution that was never used at all. The CSIS considers that it is accountable directly to the President now.
>> OF/FO:
It'll be possible with the new Charter, when I'll have someone to translate it in English ... But it's already more or less the case via the MOL (and his superintendant: the President).
But only atoms, you're wrong. The FO was NEVER created by the Government. It's a collective association that has associated itself with the Government to form a Governmental organization (institution), an independent institution overviewed by the MOL (if the position doesn't exist, it can automatically go to the President or an assigned Minister to make sure that it doesn't become invalid).
>> Definitions:
The status and definitions of "institution" or "Government organization" were brought in by Jacobi (if my memory is right), but the FO wasn't created by him but by a Citizen: Vulcain. I only put a legal structure to re-create it, but it existed >without any legal structure< since June 2009 at least.
And there is a big difference between "😉epartment" and "Institution". A Department is a group of ministries (e.g. The Department of Foreign Affairs [DoFA] under Derek Harland) or the superintendence of a ministry (e.g. The Department of Foreign Relations [DoFR] under William Duncan).
So what did I miss today...
Jacobi for CP
YES!!!
Thank you for pointing that out to me, JF, I was unaware that Marcchelala's term had expired.
could you list your references please? i might possibly consider hiring you if you do.
jfstpierre, tl/dr/bs, you snuck the f+cker through as part of a ministry but having even more power than the most important government agency (csis), you name dropped, intimidated the CP who held office, intimidated congress (god bless you Greg, I forgive you), abused my rights as a citizen and your mom dresses you funny.
Right now my game is slowly dying, I don't think it's worth the effort to play for a 'team' that isn't a team. Canada the way it is right now is going to get slaughtered and you 'detailists' are fighting with TemujinBC?
You've been told a hundred times that the reason for the luls shit was the dissatisfaction of the unrepresented. Yet...you continued to rub it in with bullshit court cases and the s or f yucking nastiest thing I've ever seen...TFDs chosen election.
Your opposition is smart, you treat us like we're stupid. Do you even want to make a team? I think you've already sold the country, 2600 gold downpayment, but every one thinks I'm paranoid 🙂
If you don't give up now, you will be defeated one day and it won't be pretty. No mercy baby.
Zombies are starting to stink, if you want active, patriotic people right now...cut the crap
I thought I was going to see a similar article like the one before where you announced that you were planning to re-run for CP.
So glad it wasn't so.
🙂
Your avatar is cute KIPODAMUD, is she seeing anyone?
jacobi is back!!!!!!
I am looking forward to the election. Two great candidates to choose from (however I have the feeling that you will win anyway).
What I find a bit odd is the discussion in the comments. What does that have to do with a CP campaign?
o_0
only atoms:
Please show WHERE I intimidated Congress or a CP. If you don't, I'll consider that comment as useless and inappropriate, a simple attack.
Also, please consider that a case in Court always has impact in our internal process. Things have changed in the national security since the NBC and the CND thefts. That's the most important.
About TFD's chosen election, I don't understand what you're talking about. Can you develop?
And I've chosen my team. I'm sorry that you just want to play alone. That's real: I'm a Constitutionalist, I like laws and I like good sense.
And btw, the OF has less power than the CSIS. I can assure you of that, since I was in both administrations a few weeks ago ...
I think, as Dr.Pain points out, that it's not a good place for such discussion. It's no more related to Jacobi's campaign at all. We can continue this by pm if you want.
Good luck, Jacobi!

I also chose fitter as a job, any promise for remedying to the bad employment situation?
