The Janitors: What are We?

Day 1,142, 08:16 • Published in Canada Canada • by John Cleese


You already got a prelude of what the Janitors will stand for, my first idea was simply just organized run for CP, nicknamed this because of the fact, that there will be a lot of mess to clean up after.

However, since George Kirk apparently wants us to give Wes a second chance, with the second chance apparently being the presidency (awesome second chance, I'd take that one any day) we must acknowledge the fact, that Wes indeed, will be President. Whether out of his masterfully written platform (I gotta give it up to the kid, he has a plan, and I bet if he were anyone else, I'd be supporting him. But I explained that in my previous article.) or just a stroke of luck, we must face the truth, we will have him as President for the next month, and we must hope that he does his best there. However, there are many worrying signs out there, from wage-changer (you know what I mean! I just don't want this article deleted for accusations without proof) extraordinaire Citizen B, or the presence of Termz, who I love, but still have some mistrust towards him in his cabinet, to Wes' own attitudes which we all know come all down to irresponsibility, incompetence and rage-quit.

Wes is yet to prove himself in a extremely serious position, remember that his mistakes as AG led to Rolo locking us out of many organizations, and eventually lost us a ton of gold. Additionally, he rage-quit from Speaker, for whatever reason, leaving a lot of doubt towards his competence as a Country President.

But, as I said, I am willing to forgive all that, and much more, and give the dude a "second chance". Well, maybe I am not willing to, but I am forced in these circumstances. This does not mean, I'm giving him a blank cheque to do whatever he wishes with the country. Quite contrary, I am making an organization that will ensure that he's doing his job. This will not be one guy, this will not be Congress... It will be more. You know how your local janitor always rages on you, when you make a mess for whatever reason, and forces you to clean it up? If not, you surely know what the Janitor from Scrubs did. We will be those Janitors, looking for thrash that Wes Lewis, as every President, will throw out the door. Every Janitor will have his section, creating a shadow cabinet that would check their counterparts thoroughly, giving at least weekly, if not bi-daily reports of their doing. These will be compiled into articles, concerning Wes' presidency. Additionally, we will be brainstorming to create alternative solutions, or in case a mess is made, we'll just show how to clean it up. Eventually, at the end of the month, our team will gather around to make our own run for the Presidency, having been enriched through observing our counterparts.


Of course, not every shadow cabinet member will end up being a cabinet member, if it will be determined that a position is redundant, the position will dissolve, so everyone has to be aware of that. Other positions might be added, if deemed needed by the Janitorial Collective. So, to summarize, the Janitors will be basically a funny code name for a serious collective run at CP.

What's more, we want to have strong opposition, it only drives politics to higher levels, as people try harder and harder to stay in power. That is why I will relinquish all control of the forums to a new squad of willing janitors, so they can do their work.

What else can I say? The forums are being currently created. I might just ask for a subforum on the eCanada boards, because I don't believe our organization really needs anything bigger than that. As such, if you want to join this organization, at any role, just PM me with "The Janitors" as a topic, and your preferred Cabinet spot somewhere in the PM. Signs of love and appreciation, also appreciated. 🙂

The final Cabinet for the CP run will be based around our respective performances, please note that I am not taking the CP role here for granted, it will be the other janitors to decide that. We will also need advisors, delegates for parties and other people just to spread our cause. So if you don't want a Cabinet spot, but want to help, feel free to PM me saying that.

So... Let's get to work, Janitors!


Hugs, kisses and Congrats to Wes,
John Cleese
