Rise and Fall of a Great Party
Tom Hagen
1st January 2008 – Birth of the CPP – First General Election fought.
1st June 2008 – End of the Canadian Paradox Party’s time in government. It had formed the government for 3 terms. The party goes onto life support.
1st October 1008 – The death of the Canadian Paradox Party.
As can be seen above the Canadian Paradox Party has been around for a long while. We provided the leadership following Grapez’s departure. We along with Norsefire led this country during the CanAm War. Many of this country’s current leaders began their careers in the Canadian Paradox Party. However, I now feel that the end is nigh.
I will not blame it on the current leadership. It has been coming for months. Myself, Althalus, and Tinnerholm are tried our best as has kommie. When leadership meets apathy and lack of interest it becomes increasingly difficult for anything to achieved. The inactivity of the Canadian Paradox Party has become a cancer which is has strangled the life out of the party. The recent announcement of the platform is an epitomy of this issue. The party leadership was so busy that it did not have time write a new one and so had to recycle an old one.
I know that I am partially for blame but then so are all Canadian Paradox Party Members. From June the party has been fighting a losing battle and it has lost. With this in mind, I, the founder of the Canadian Paradox Party, recommend to the party leadership that the Canadian Paradox Party be closed down.
From this moment I resign as a member of the Canadian Paradox Party and thereby forfeit any forthcoming Congressional Seat.
Onwards Paradoxia!
Tom Hagen
Founder, Long-time leader and Congressman of the Canadian Paradox Party

Rest In Peace CPP
I remember it as my first party, it is where I started out.
It deserves to slowly be allowed to die, and maybe one day a new leader will come along and change it.
Indeed, an old party that is past it\'s time now.
You guys did good back in march and after.
R.I.P
Join us Tom. One of us. One of us. One of us.
All CPP members are welcome to join the Norsefire camp.
Tom Hagans views do not represrent the CPP. Do not count us out yet😛
Well they had a good run. Well said Tom.
No my views do not represent the CPP\'s. But kommie unless you are the Messiah CPP is dead.
Its not dead as long as I(and others) are still members. And not to mention PK this is your fourth time leaving the party.
Its dead if no one does anything and the platform is just the one I wrote for September. You didn\'t even bother to proof read it to make sure it was up to date. You will find that it is 3 times including this time.
1. Left to join CSD.
2. Left the game for a sabbatical.
3. Left because the party is dead.
Kommie, the party is dead m8
Name me ten active members of CPP, except you?
Nothing against you either but you haven\'t really put in the effort to resurrect the party...
The party just needs a name chance, a new leader and a new idea.
Great party?
Put Canada in ATLANTIS?
Didn\'t bother to inform the rest of the cabinet?
Really?
Thats the CSD not the CPP
Two letter difference, but it does look sort of the same.
Put Canada in ATLANTIS?
> I did
Didn\'t bother to inform the rest of the cabinet?
> I did inform them, both on Cabinet discussion & in the media.
Really?
> Really?
hey im active Banach i feel insulted 😛
I to thing that ateast the CPP is dead but the party can always evolve!
I got a feew ideas!
Shame you went inactive once you handed leadership over.
OOC: Where do I know this from? 😛
Also, yeah I\'m not on the eCanada forums. Because, with all the in-game media I consider it spurious anyway. But well, don\'t take my opinion too serious 😉
IC: I feel that the CPP, to some extent, is inactive and weak. Dead? Political parties and ideas only die when noone supports them. I am not active in politics, true, I vote in my elections, work for my daily food, and try to adress the issues of my community together with my friends in Whitehorse. The great issues must be discussed, and we trust the CPP to do so as so many before us did.
And one day, our lost children will return as they always do, and see the truth of our ways.
Nice to see ya around Avernite. The forums have alot more than the in game media.
