Ceasefire Declared in the Russia-Norway Conflict
Zanalan
It appears that a ceasefire has been declared in the Russian independence battle. According to the press release from Norwegian President Salve there will be no "active battles" during the next 48-hours.
In light of this development, I believe that the Government of Canada should immediately withdraw all troops from the combat zone. Given that Norway has received assurances that Russia is not seeking PEACE affiliation, there does not seem to be any justification for our troops to remain.
Once Norway and Russia have reached a resolution to their negotiations, the Government can decide whether support is warranted. Until that time, all we are doing is wasting Canadian resources and depleting the Canadian workforce.

There is no point returning if CAF has to go back to help tear the wall down for russia's Independence. So yes there is a reason for the CAF to stay. Also this stimulates the Canadian market considering all tickets, gifts and weapons are bought from Canada. So really money goes back to Canadians.
We just have to sit tight and see where the negotiations go.
Yeah, I have to agree with JT on this one.
And as they said on This Hour Has 22 Minutes: "In my health class, they told us Abstinence doesn't work because it only leads to a premature election (or was that ejection?).
Agreed with JT, ceasefire doesn't mean the conflict is over, it just means its on hold
I do not believe that I implied that the conflict is over. I am confident that the revolution will re-start at the end of the ceasefire.
However, to JT's point, if the CAF is observing the ceasefire then they become (at best) a net-neutral to the economy. In a larger sense they are a net-negative. Since the CAF soldiers are not in Canada they are not producing resources or products. If they return to Canada and resume working they will add to the economy, and we will actually require the consumption of (2 times # of soldiers) in moving tickets--to Canada and returning to Russia.
Which is a bad thing Zanalan as ticket prices will rise and we only have enough Q1 tickets on the market that are cheap to move about 24 soldiers back and forth.

The Royal Canadian Air Force (the Government Moving Ticket Company) has 175 Q1 moving tickets in stock as of 12:30 MST. We could move all 31 CAF soldiers five times with the current stock.
Zanalan i believe you missed my point.
What i am trying to say is that the CAF stimulates not controls/expends resources. The markets mus be kept competitive and prices affordable. At the same time the CAF ensures that companies have some form income. Also one must understand the Canadian Government does not have infinite resources. (Then might as well pay everyone just to be citizen? just as how would it make sense for the CAF to keep moving and buying tickets?- It does not make sense)
The Canadian government has to use its resources wisely and efficiently, and currently the best decision is to stay in Norway, thereby reducing cost and increasing our efficiency.
In the end the goal of the CAF is to ensure stability and protection of our allies and ourselves.
The cease fire is only 48 hours, and most likely some form of decision will made before that times is up. And lastly once you apply into a company there is a 72 hours time limit before you are able to resign. Unless the owner of the company directly fires you.
As you can see its a waste of time, an annoyance and inefficient use of resources, just to come back for 24-48 hours. The CAF is not staying in Norway for a week or longer, it is JUST a few days.
