As I'm not the greatest writing, I requested write ups from members of my cabinet to present to you the citizens of eCanada and other readers what has been going on over the course of the term so far.
Last Week in the Cabinet
written by: Thedillpickl


MoD Darth Zigus and MoF Aries Prime discuss "stuff".

The last week in review has Molly opening up first thing in organizing her cabinet and familiarizing herself with all the little details to run a country. Members not already on IRC were helped to get that under their belt.

Meanwhile the first few hours also included many discussions about an AS and/or regular war, even a TW. Later, after looking at what we were given to work with and Congress adopting the plan to lower WT to 5% after we acquired our slush fund it was decided that this was not a thing to rush into. No one wanted to waste the AS with us not being able to land. Also there are always diplomatic concerns such as Argentina being involved with our neighbors across the pond.

I-Bleed-Blue-93 was added to the Cabinet on the second day. Once the cabinet was talking we focused on setting up communications with the MU Commanders PM. Exalted Druid got that set up with little problem. Xichael took charge and sent out FA greetings to all our allies and friends.

Setting the CotD and posting MoD Articles was the next priority. While we weren't at war our allies were and we needed to let them know that they had a friend in Canada. MPPs were addressed and it was determined that if there were to be no immediate AS we needed to support those that support us when we need them. With the WT being lowered to 5% it quickly became obvious that our revenue would be spent just on that bit of business.

As it was brought up in public, I will mention that there was thought give to a TW with the USA. One of the first things mentioned was that attacking them would have consequences with our MPP stacks. That and other considerations quickly tabled that idea. Sorry if you are one of those that really, really wanted war with the US, it ain't happenin' this month.

Continuing work on a government food program and thoughts about an updated Welcome Message have been brought into the mix. This administration has worked to not be focused on just the desire for war. It does seem that over the last three day that we have made some significant headway in that regard however. Stay tuned for somthing more definite in the near future.
Saving today to secure tomorrow: The eCanada Nest Egg Act
Written by Foxfire

“1. The Government of eCanada will set aside an amount of no less than 500,000 CAD, to be kept in the Canadian Ministry of Finance organization account (CMoF org), that can only be used if:

a) We are being attacked by an airstrike, or
b) a foreign power is attempting to conquer or coup regions which are, by default, eCanadian, and
c) the war is NOT a training war. “

Thanks in part to the 10% working tax rate, and the generous $270K donation from Rylde, the Canadian Ministry of Finance org currently sits at a secure $470,000. Our sincere appreciation to the citizens of eCanada for aiding in the amassing of this fund to assist in our continued security as a country.

Respecting the hard work of so many, the Executive Administration wishes to continue on the path set before us.

Supporting our allies
Written by Foxfire

In the spirit of Congress' new eCanada Nest Egg Act, an Executive plan of fiscal responsibility has been chosen as a working goal of this administration.

Our MPPs will continue to be signed and we will support our allies on the battlefield as we always have. Even now, our CP Molly Jo has donated her own funds to support our Netherland allies with a MPP.
Our treasury will be kept at levels necessary to sign MPPs, while excess funds are moved to the Canadian Ministry of Finance to be kept out of the hands of anyone attempting to take over our country.
Our new nest egg defense fund will be kept and added to when possible to aid us in our hour of need, should such a need arise.

Instead of diverting funds to an air strike, we will take this time to support our allies and foster good will in the still relatively new Orion alliance. This will allow us to continue to meet the $500,000 Nest Egg Act goal and sign our MPPs.
The Canadian Empire Strikes Back
An opportunity has presented it self to allow us to go to war, so today we've declared war on the United Kingdom. This will allow our soldiers to test their hockey sticks against the soccer balls of Britain, to unleash the Dark Side of the force upon the old Empire!

With this in mind the government is accepting both financial and weapons donations for the war effort.
