I’m a runner. I run marathons and I love it. I’m not the best at it. I’m not the worst. I’m definitely pretty good. Long distance running is an opportunity to learn about yourself. You learn your abilities. You learn your capacity to adapt, overcome and excel. You learn humility, honor and grace, even in the face of exhaustion, physical pain and sometimes mental breakdown. If you are driven to succeed, you definitely learn your limits.

You may have seen Canada’s President talking through his denial of basic facts in the recently published WHPR. He has some interesting perspective and expectations, no doubt. Something he lacks though, is a sense of reality.

What’s most interesting in this is that DMV is trying to ingratiate himself to us as the lesser of two evils in Canada. He seems to think that with him, we will have the best chance to reach some sort of common ground. His political foes in Canada will be even LESS agreeable than he. Maybe he doesn’t know I know this, but I was around to see the proposed agreements coming from his political foes last month. What we are seeing now is just more of the same.

He and I have had an interesting conversation over the last several days. He laid out Canada’s position and I expressed the eUS’s. Between us, it soon became apparent that there was not going to be a compromise. The things offered in return for the eUS leaving Canada involved the eUS essentially paying for the benefit of things we are getting right now on our own terms. Not only that, but as DMV, so succinctly said in the WHPR, Canada refuses to even negotiate their alliances and MPPs. As the responsible representative of the eUS, there is no way I can accept such terms. In case nobody noticed, we are WINNING this war and it’s not even close. The winners get to set the terms of withdrawal, not the losers.

As has long been the history of Canadian Foreign Policy, they are overly confident in their limited ability, selfish in their decision-making and terribly overproud in their relationships. The only thing they have are a couple of people spending unbelievable amounts of money funding a war in which they have no hope of winning. They have a proud and presumably honorable populace who have been misled by a few unfortunate leaders that have now landed them, yet again, in a situation where they are wiped, unloved by their own alliance and all but forgotten.

The eUS on the other hand, we have many more patriotic and dignified people who will not stand for a slight by a lesser foe. We have superior firepower and we have superior resources. We just have to be willing to use them. So I say, “bring it on Canada. War at home is so much more satisfying than war on foreign ground. I will be here, DMV, to listen when reality kicks in and you learn your limits.”





This article was supposed to be dedicated to you Americans who voted me into office. Obviously it’s been a busy week. But I certainly haven’t forgotten about you all.

I felt so many kind words and so much support coming from all across the land that I could hardly keep up with the comments and mail. I heard from people that I haven’t talked to in months and many players I have never met. Overall, everything was incredibly positive and I appreciate it more than I can express in words.

I can assure you that after all those kind words, friendly advice and excellent show of support I have been energized with a sense of duty and desire to do well by the American people. For lack of better words by better people, THANK YOU!
