Interview with Addy Lawrence

Day 1,612, 07:35 Published in Canada Bulgaria by egad

Hi everyone 🙂

Last week I made my first interview as an eJournalist with the CP Trenton Rendell. I like it and I wanted to continue with such articles so I choose 4 time eCanada president Addy Lawrence for my second interview. Hope you’ll enjoy it.


Q: The NHL playoffs just started. Which hockey team do you support and which team is your favorite to win the Stanley cup?
A.L.: Ottawa is my fav team, I was hoping that Pittsburgh or Vancouver would win the Cup but they are on the ropes now. I enjoyed watching all three of these teams win last night.

Q: What do you enjoy more watching/playing hockey or playing erepublik?
A.L.: Playing hockey, then playing erep, then watching hockey.

Q: You’ve been involved in different parts of this game. You were financial minister many times, you started the MOO party, The Captains of industry MU, 4 time president of eCanada. Which one of these was the most interesting to you?
A.L.: Being CP was most interesting, it encompassed all of the fun elements of being finance minister and political leader and military leader. It was efulfilling to have the opportunity to have significant influence on this many aspects of the game at the same time.

Q: You were (and still are) a major part of the political life in eCanada but recently you are involved in US politics too. Is there any difference between the politics in Canada and USA?
A.L.: I really haven't gotten involved much in eUS politics. The thing about eUS is that it is so large, there are so many people NOT in politics that the "working class" is truly the majority. eUS is also very "Americana" and they stand up for the "red, white and blue" at all costs.

Q: After your last presidential mandate you became an US citizen. Do you plan to be a Canadian soon?
A.L.: I have no intentions of ever returning to eCan.

Q: Most of the EPC have a citizenship different than Canadian. Don’t you think that you will have better chances to achieve your goals if you were with Canadian citizenships?
A.L.: No. When EPC members had Canadian citizenship, they tried effect change and it didn't work. At the end of the day, EPC provided consequences for actions and the incoming generation of leaders had an opportunity to leverage those consequences to bring about change. The incoming generation of eCan leaders will bring about change, if any. The people who left eCan and joined EPC had their shot and they have moved on. Some may return to eCan to help out, like Plugson whom I wish the best, but that is not a path that I anticipate following.

Q: What EPC wants is a veto, an apology and 6000 gold back in the country accounts. In my opinion the first two are achievable but if a miracle happen and Rolo really decide to give all those gold back then it will take him almost 2 years to do so which is absurd. Is there a compromise that will satisfy you?
A.L.: I don't believe in compromises. I believe that we asked for a "pound of flesh". I don't know how much gold that it but I do know that it would hurt to carve a pound of flesh from your body. If The Thief paid a sum that hurt him, I think we would be talking about a fair sum. Maybe this is a compromise.

Q: Do you still believe that you can find a way out of this situation and is there a chance that you would say “That’s it. There is no use to go any further. We give up.”?
A.L.: EPC has suspended operations. We aren't going to fight against original eCan territories and we also have to give the incoming generation of leaders an opportunity to solve this situation as it will take time. EPC may resume activity in the future. I firmly believe that there is a way out of the situation, it will just take time.

Q: I heard some say that EPC acts as you are part of ONE. If one day you take the control over Canada is it possible that you can change the alliance?
A.L.: EPC is not part of ONE. We were not fighting for eUK, we were fighting for honesty and good faith in eCanada. We were fighting against indifference and bad faith in eCanada. eCanada is in conflict right now, its a complicated issue. It is easy for a hater to say that EPC is part of ONE because ONE fights against eCanada, but ONE fights in the name of their alliance and EPC fought in the name of honesty and good faith. EPC achieved most of what we wanted to do. People are mobilizing within eCan, taking on The Thief directly.
