[Mary4CP] aklsdjf platform?

Day 1,839, 14:39 Published in Canada Canada by Mary Chan

Yeahhh... I'm running for CP...
Well, it's not too much of a surprise. I've intended to run before, but didn't have the direction, foresight or time. But I'm running now with direction and foresight. Perhaps I'll never have enough time to do what I really want.. hmm.. //ponders off asking "What is life?"//


Back to the platform. Let's start with the basics:

Who am I?

Irl, I'm a college student. (Yes, with finals coming up. I AM STRESSED AND FREAKING OUT FOR EXAMS. Which is mainly why this platform is late and I'm feeling indifferent about all things eRepublik.)
In game, I'm an old fart. Besides Beta, I've seen V1, V2, and the version now. I haven't been politically involved during my three+ years, rather most of my political activity has been within the past three months. I guess I'm not burnt out quite yet.. ;P


What am I gonna do?
Nothing much. At least until my important exams are over on the 10th, until then I'll be on epic study mode with laptop, books, pens & paper, tea and a box of 40 timbits. But if you do need to get to me, my VP has my Skype, and I'm always on it if I'm available.

But, seriously, my "grand plan" for the country lies in the initiative of the active individuals in my cabinet. I have some social projects and people in mind which will be released in a future article.

I'm still looking for active individuals that want to be involved. If you want to be in a project or have a project in mind that you want to see, send me a PM.

Money: Taxes and MU Funding, Budget
Let's get it straight. You can't do it without Congress. It's their votes (i.e. Taxes) and essentially their policies (i.e. MU Funding), but I expect my (d)MoFinance to help provide relevant docs and to contribute to discussions whenever appropriate.

What I can do as CP is to look into printing money with an org, executed by my Finance department.
The manager of the org will essentially use their own investments to start off the printing press. Whatever profits from playing the monetary market will be set aside as a Merc Fund and, if sufficient enough, extra MU Funding.
Those who will be handling the org must be trusted-- there will be Congress approval and recommendations.

Foreign Policy
USA:
During this term, I've kept in contact with Israel Stevens, American Secretary of State, about rekindling the Bromance between eCanada and eUSA. Needless to say, we're not Bros, but we're not mortal enemies either. I'm still more than willing to work towards rebuilding CAN-AM relations, it will take time, but I've got enough patience to wait and see. Nothing is hostile between us. I had a good PM with Cerb. He's a cool guy (":
(on an irrelevant note: the eCanadian media can learn a thing or two from the American media)

EDEN:
Without a doubt, Pro-EDEN. I'm not saying EDEN yet, because EDEN still needs to have their summit to admit Canada, and I have not seen the latest treaty that should be reviewed with congress before signing.
Note to Congress: I suggest doing some research/reading/looking in the archives on why Canada left EDEN in the first place in May/June.
Regardless, I plan on approaching the countries' CPs individually to offer my support in their military affairs on behalf of eCanada.

War/Military
Pretty simple: Support allies' military campaigns, & look into a Training War with eUK to get y'all some True Patriot gold.

If you have anything against this, I'm sure USA and Poland would gladly accommodate us to get a real war.

I'll expect my (d)MoD to update the daily Battle Orders.

I guess that's it for now. Cabinet article coming soon. (I'm still looking for active people to be involved!! If interested, send me a PM.) Any questions, leave them in the comment section or send a PM.
