Get eCanada Out Of The Trailer Park
Xander Kross
Folks, eCanada has an outstanding debt that must be paid off. Membership with LETO carries a tax, and eCanada is behind on payments.
There are two things I hate worse than slightly less than as much as I hate hippies: eCanada's enemies, and deadbeat welfare trailer trash. An eCanada that suckles on the alliance teat and can't be bothered to pay its debts is an eCanada of deadbeat welfare trash. And not the hilarious Trailer Park Boys kind.
TheSmoke (pictured here), likely in a marijuana-and-LSD stupor which left him feeling incredibly generous, has paid half of the bill out of his own pocket. I imagine he then went around painting dayglo peace signs on everything and then ate twinkies and beef jerky until he fell asleep on the bed of cushions in the back of his VW van.
Don't let the hippies win! Let's match his contribution and clean that charge off of our bill.
It's not a giant "let's privately fund a war" amount, but 40,000 cc is a substantial amount.
{EDIT: Smoke's contribution was 40k. We're out to beat the hippies and pay this thing off completely, so I'm bumping the goal up to 42k.}
42k is the difference between a respectable nation of valued allies, and a country full of this:
I'll be accepting donations of any amount, small or large, and listing them here, making them public. I will keep the names of the donors (but not the amounts) anonymous, unless and until they confirm otherwise by PM.
When I receive the balance owing of 42,000 cc, I'll put all the donors' names in a big hat, pull out three of them (using some sort of random number generator) and create an hilarious comic featuring those three characters.
Give what you can now, and provide a better future for eCanada's children than this:
LIST OF DONORS:
1) Xander Kross, 1000cc

42,000 / 42,000
Good work, eCanada. o7

... You're high right now, aren't you?
Pigs fly it appears as for once im in agreement with you
If you agree, donate!
Not sure how many characters in a comic you can call anonymous without creating confusion.
I'll find a way. Either that or I'll end up outting them all.
I'll send you 5k when i get home from work.

Only need 4k now... you'll close out the debt.
Still not home xD
Sent you a big chunk of my RW development fund. 😃
(Don't care if you publish or not.)
For goodness sake, I thought this was supposed to have been taken care of weeks ago. This was hashed and rehashed several times and Congress peeps said to just get it done. Supposedly Bryan had the funds and they were to be released. Next time I will demand a vote and force the payment.
And Congress should demand a proof of payment.
If LETO is happy, I'm happy.
Congress ain't paying the bill, I don't see that it's their business any longer.
This is why democracy doesn't work.
Xander, it was the lack of Democracy that causes a failure like this. If Congress had proposed to pay the bill, discussed it (which should be a no brainer) and voted to pay it, then it would have been done.
As it is, someone brought up the subject, most everyone agreed we needed to pay it but there was no formal vote. I for one just assumed that Bryan was going to pay it as he had the funds. If there is any blame it is to be shared by all in Congress who did not put it to the vote.
An alternative was that Rylde could have EO'd the payment. That didn't happen. So in a sense the 'dictatorship' failed also.
The funds were likely in the treasury when Bryan said we could afford to pay it off. Then the war got extended because of democracy, and the treasury got drained.
Either way, spilled milk. We're taking care of it grassroots style, and the people that are interested in handling the problem and contributing to the country's wellbeing are doing so. The ones who are not are questioning how many characters in a comic you can call anonymous without creating confusion.
The war got extended because of stupidity, they would have ignored a dictator because there is no real consequence and they couldn't care less about community.
Anyhoo, agreed, it's put up or shut up time. I thank Xander for taking the initiative to fix this regardless of the spin.
The reason the payment wasn't made in the past couple weeks is because of our situation. The plan was to make peace with UK and pay our debt. That didn't happen, so we told LETO we would have to wait a while. They were very sympathetic to our situation. We could not afford to write off that 80k debt when we didn't even have that much outside of the treasury with UK romping around.
However, it never should have got that far in the first place. LETO wasn't hounding us for the money so I assume it got lost in the past few terms. As well, almost every other member country had debt to LETO.
We'll have it paid off by the end of the day. When IBB sends his promised 5k, we'll be partly paid up for next month as well.
Thank you Paul Harvey. Now we have the rest of the story. Still someone should have said something. I wasted more than 80k chasing BH's the other day and don't have anything to show for it. :/
Well, it's good to know you're all recharged and ready to fight again Dill lol.
I hope my modest donation will help Canada finally get rid of the slums on the streets.
Either way, you're probably going in the comic.
I deal with probabilities every day as part of my job. And I love a good satire comics.
^__^
Good show man. ty
I made my donation just so we don't look like retards and I will abstain from saying what I really think. But I will say thanks to Xander for bringing this up and doing something about it.

Julian, Bubbles, and I have never gone on welfare. We are the embodiment of the entrepreneur spirit !
It's not the Rickys, Julians and Bubbleses we need to worry about. It's the Cyruses.

We hear and we obey!
Fundamental budgetary mis-management. The result of a power-obsessed party that spent all the coffers on wars that didn't sustain any measurable value.
Donated 1,000 CC, but was before your article. You could ask Funky for it, but he probably already transferred it to the country's accounts.
good job
That kid's up way past her bedtime....

I help; I donate :3
