PPC Co-Presidency and Platform
Progressive Party of Canada
Another quick update on the PPC -
President of the PPC, 1ronman, has announced a Co-Presidency for the PPC. The Co-Presidents will be Derakor and 1ronman. This will allow Derakor to candidate for Country presidency without resigning as a congressmen. In addition, 1ronman wants to travel around the world, and fight, and this will allow him to do so. The In-Game Party Presidency will remain with Derakor for around a week. Any more news on this will be announced in a PPC Press Release.
In addition, we've updated our platform. There isn't to many changes, but there are a few.
Anyways, heres our 2009 - 02/03 Platform.
PPC on Military: The Progressive Party of Canada plans to continue to encourage citizens to register into the Canadian Armed Forces without disenfranchising or making second class citizens of those who don’t. We would like to see all active Canadian Super Soldiers (Level 5 Strength and above) to have a moving ticket to every ATLANTIS conflict and 2 to 5 weapons per day of combat depending on the region and the strength of the Citizen. Although this would be subject to limitation due to the finite budget eCanada has.
PPC on Health Care: The PPC ensures that Canada will continue to construct our health care system so that smaller regions may have the high quality health care enjoyed by the larger provinces. In addition, we want to ensure Ontario has a Q5 Hospital by the end of this term.
PPC on Sovereignty and Foreign Affairs: The Progressive Party of Canada, along with most of our rivals, want to keep Canada independent and sovereign. We will continue to support our allies in ATLANTIS with all of our means possible.
PPC on the Dollar Value: The Progressive Party of Canada advocates for the government of Canada to guide the dollar value towards a healthy and stable level of inflation. This way our gold reserves aren’t dumped needlessly into the market where foreign traders make a killing from our mistakes. We also need to ensure that our treasury GOLD amounts grows.
PPC on Taxes: The PPC strongly believes in a Flat but Fair policy towards taxation a even 10% Business Income, 50% import tax, and 10% Value Add tax (Sales Tax) on all sectors of the economy, with the exception of hospitals and defense systems. Once this flat taxation is in place, all taxes would be adjusted accordingly. This taxation policy is slightly higher than the current one in some areas but it supports our spending needs, which is what Canada needs to create a balanced budget without creating a monthly deficit like in January.
PPC on Social Services: The Progressive Party of Canada will continue to support the Ministry of Social Services by advocating to get the necessary funds to help new active citizens and get the wellness of active workers up to maintain high production is all sectors of the economy.
President of the PPC,
1ronman

Good luck, 1ronman!
I was wondering, on more of the 'healthcare' side of things, if an elected government would ever consider a truly aggressive healthcare program in the form of extensive gifting. That would revitalize the gifting market (internationally as well, perhaps), would keep all enlisted citizens at a high wellness, and presumably would be beneficial for all (higher wellness >> higher production >> richer Canada).
I suppose I'll have to wait until I get elected (if, that is) to see what I can do about that.
Derakor has more information regarding our Health Care System. But yes it did involve having a Medic for every region who would gift citizens. But I think there was a few requirements such as being a Canadian Citizen, Registered on the eCanadian Forums, Being atleast 2 weeks old, etc.
