Important Information and Updates *updated again*

Update:
New Brunswick is under attack. If you will not be here after 10PM, please fight there now 🙂
http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/7099
Not quite a catchy title, but its still irritatingly hot in Seattle. I'm leaving tomorrow, won't be around the entire day excepting snatches here and there on layover. I return to full activity on tuesday.
There are a couple issues facing Canada besides the obvious, so I'll do my best in this article to address them as they come.
The Hungarian Goal
The Hungarians have had ample time to attempt an attack on BC, New Brunswick, or Ontario. They have not. They have however, made their priority goal the linkage of eastern and western PEACE areas through North America and obtaining our high resource regions...baring some unexpected development, this will be completed at the end of the battle of washington.
There are several possibilities for what come next in this war.
1) PEACE attempts to take the remaining Canadian territories including Ontario
In this case we are looking at only two alternatives, an eventual PEACE conquest of the entirety of Canada or the attrition of PEACE forces who come to believe that Canada is not worth conquering. In either case, the government has developed a 'continuation of government plan' to organize Canadians in the aftermath of a defeat in Ontario, and to eventually reclaim our regions.
2) PEACE does not attempt to take remaining Canadian provinces. No peace is declared.
In this case, we are looking at indefinite guerrilla war until an event such as a game mechanic change, reset, or political development within PEACE changes the status quo. During this period, the number one priority of the government will have to balance the desire of Canadians to liberate homeland regions with the concern that in doing so we would be giving PEACE free training wars. Canadian financial situation, balanced as it would be on foreign imports and only wood as a resource, would become a concern as the economy bleeds. The Canadian government continues to operate as normal.
3) PEACE with Peace.
This is unlikely under my administration unless Canada retains full territorial sovereignty. We can replace gold...we cannot replace high resource regions.
In any of these scenarios, the government has a clearly defined course of action. In any of these scenarios we will continue to work with our allied governments and to plead our cause in the world media. We will not, at any point, give up. Even bereft of an "in game" Canada we will not give up. Period.
The Fee for Canadian Citizenship.
There is no fee, however much certain Hungarian congressmen would think. If any Congressmen messages you stating that they will accept your candidacy for citizenship for gold, please do not accept. It is a scam.
The Presidential Elections
We are still concerned about the possibility of an attempt by Hungary to attempt to steal the Presidential election, especially if they have had people with citizenship planted in Canada before the changeover. The Government and CSIS is monitoring the situation and will keep you informed.
Immigration Canada and Tyler Durden
Citizen B at Immigration Canada and Tyler F Durden have been working tirelessly to move stranded canadians to Ontario. If you are stranded in Hungary, France, or the UK and wish to be moved back to Ontario to aid in its defense and Canada's military effort, please contact Immigration Canada or Tyler F Durden immediately.
Economic Contingencies
The Government will shortly be lowering import taxes on resources that are currently not under Canadian control such as grain. Business leaders with any advice, concerns or comments are directed towards Dean22 or Moffington for more explanations.
Today's Orders.
Are in the Wire Service of Canada but to repeat, please defend Washington. If nothing else it provides you with more battle experience to rank up with, and more experience that will eventually net you more gold.
DAL and CSD
Finally, Canada's two largest parties have nominated me for a third term as President of Canada. I am honoured to accept the nominations of the Democratic Action League, and the Canadian Social Democrats. While I did not expect nor intend to run for a third term, I do place the continuation of government to be essential to the continued prosecution of this war. I do not believe that now is the time for wholesale and disruptive change.
This has been a tough time for Canada, but we are comforted by the fact that we have done more and have withstood more than many other countries would or could, and that while others are pondering surrender, the Canadian people stand tall and defiant towards its oppressors. Again, I thank you for your support, your time, your efforts and your patience, as we continue this long war for our freedom.

Comments
so much for a treaty~
i guess its a fight to the death for you then, fine by me 🙂
Not much of a treaty. You had no casus belli so why does PEACE deserve most of Canada.
All you did with this war is dirty the name of PEACE GC. Before this war I had respect for PEACE now all you are is another aggressive alliance for the history books.
Defend Washington! Give me a break, the wall is at almost -300,000. Go to the eUSA vs ePortugal to make your damage count.
Jacobi, your out of touch!
You stole my post Tigers Lair...
If your advocating using one's fights for today in a lost cause with the following statement
"If nothing else it provides you with more battle experience to rank up with, and more experience that will eventually net you more gold."
Why not tell players to help one of our allies (You know the USA) here:

There are even American citizens willing to outfit willing Canadians with weapons if they will use their fight there
Jacobi - TIME TO THINK BIG PICTURE!!!!!!!!
Oh, now that you've said it in caps locks, that so much more compelling.
Orders are to fight in Washington.
PEACE forces thinking eCanada are not worth conquering is ridiculous. After days of assault, Ontario will fall.
With no money in treasury, it will be foolish to think about reclaiming any regions.
I think we should add :
4) Managing an effective defense against invaders in Ontario, final bastion of eCanada. eCitizens will need to be provided with GUNS in order to secure victory.
There will be no peace offered to eCanada in any way, being realistic.
Pleading your cause in world media is a very cute initiative that will provide absolutly no results, being very lucid.

There's the guy who was happy when Quebec became part of France! Hi Samuel! How's that going for ya?
@Rolo Tahmasee and The Tiger's Lair
You really think Washington is a lost cause...really? Even though there is 2 opportunities to fight. Everyone can fight for 3 more hours then they can fight again. And most of Indonesia and Hungary have fought already because of their time zone. So the current wall damage includes most of PEACE's damage for the day and doesn't include most of Canada's and the US's.
The outcome of a battle cannot to certain until the last few hours.
Please think before you type your silly comments.
I clearly prefer to become french than hungarian !
Jacobi, what do you think about the idea of buying guns for the CAF with actual treasury ressources ?
Moffington, what is your opinion as an experienced Finance Minister?
What should be short term goals to assure a decent resistance funding for the Battle of Ontario ?
Washington is lost. You must be out of your mind to fight there
Weapons are precious resources and should be preserved for the final assault of Ontario in the incoming days.
I off to help E USA, this is not a sound military order.
@ Jacobi, @ Moffington
So, with the wall in Washington at -306,000 and the canadian fighters expected to fight between 12:00 and 7am eastern and 10pm-5am pacific time - it is your belief looking at past histories of Battles with PEACE ending around these times, that it is the best use of the countries resources to attempt a victory and it would not be better spend helping our allies regain territory, so they may one day be in a position to better help us?
Please answer this question. I would love to do an article on it describing your flawed logic
And to think I spent hundreds defending Idaho,we had a chance there at least a couple hundred in the E USA was well spent, at least they fight to win. Change is coming to Canada!!
The Jacobi Government is the epitome of the Boy who cried wolf. We are told to fight here, fight there, "defend at all costs", and so as loyal Canadians we do. We go to these battles load up on the best weapons we can afford, fight, visit the hospital, then fight again only to have the government later see it as a lost cause and we as citizens have wasted what little we had for it.
We need to pick our spots. the orders for washington should have been "let if fall" because that is what is happening and if that foresight would have saved even 1 Q1 gun for the fight that is inevitably coming to B.C. and Ontario, then in the end it was worth it
To think eCanadians who don't know any better are going to use their Day 622 weapons and health in that battle because of the short sighted orders of an inept few is laughable at best and treasonist at worst
For the past "defend at all costs" battles that you spent your money on, the CAF were fully supplied. The decision to use the tanks is saved until the last hour of the battle because they're terribly costly.
I personally don't know the battle plans but if Jacobi says to fight in Washington there is probably a reason or there is no important place to fight (probably the second). Washington could be the place our allies plan on defending together but plans do change. We citizens just don't know.
@Samuel de Champlain - I believe we should spend as little money as possible in all future battle. We should try to waste PEACE's gold, that's it. If Ontario is lost it will not be the end of the Canada, resistance wars are cheap. 🙂
Jacobi's still living in a dream world, but who am I to say anything against him? Go, fight in Washington.
"In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it."

bon boulot, jacobi.. c'est magnifique.
en voyent de travaile pour eFrance plutot 🙂
Its Erwin Rommel, Tyler 😛
@ Moffington
The wall is currently -547,000 - I have NEVER seen a wall that high, so the results are in....
Jacobi is an IDIOT!
eHungary vs eCanada 1 on 1 = Over before it started
Every Canadian who followed Jacobi's lead and fought there today wasted their fight. Rumours of co-ordination and allied attacks that didn't happen proves the weight the Jacobi government has in the eWorld. The answer is NONE! There were other battles today for us involving our allies that could have helped them in the short term, and our interests in the long term, but when it became time to be savvy in war.....
another EPIC FAIL!
P.S. - If we consistently wait until the last hour before we decide to tank or not, we tell our enemies all they have to do is get a big enough lead with an hour to go and we'll fold. Sometimes we need to take a chance and try to give ourselves that big lead, see if we can scare them into a decision for all their chips
albeit, not in this battle - any newb could see this was going to be a lost cause
15 minutes left - the wall is currently -636.016.
There's two possibilities:
a) the nation follow your orders - eCanada is just too weak, or you're giving wrong orders.
b) the nation does not follow your orders - good for them. 2 days left, time to change.
Now jacobi there is a movement in the EUS where we are going to strike back at PEACE. It consists of guerrilla warfare, since the enemy is attacking within minutes of ending a battle we will win effectivly blocking a counter attack. We are gathering men to strike at the key business hubs for Indo, and Hungary. This will ensure that they will let up on our fronts and try to secure their important locations. Contact me if you guys would like to join up.

We are upgrading our Citizen Orders system to organize and coordinate our resources for greater battle effectiveness, clarity, and conjunction with our allies.
Aside from that, I am happy to announce we're inventing "Troll Repellent" to ward off hob-goblins such as Zoli (pronounced "lonely") and GLaDOS (pronounced "get lost").

Here's an update for you Jacobi - minus the spin
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/detailed-flawed-military-strategy-881669/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/deta[..]/1/20
1 CAD costs 0.018 GOLD ;0 FFFFFFUUUUU-
its really unfortunate that nobody has taken the time to consider the fact that at least 550 000 of that -636 016 wall was wasted hungarian effort that kept them from fighting in other places. thats 550 000 damage points that were NOT in another battle.
so who's the idiot now?
the only thing i see the jacobi government doing wrong is mastering the art of misinformation campaigns while keeping the populace informed as to the real intentions. it would be nice if there was a place for canadians to get real orders that the enemy could not see, while simultaniously broadcasting false orders for the enemy to see so they direct their forces to that battle to be sure to overwhelm our forces.
All this battle served to do is further demoralize people that cannot think outside the box and see the positive inside the negative.
Dont fight your impeachment. You deserve everything coming to you
Screamingslave:
1) our laziness is not your success, or not yet.
2) 500K is just a part of our power.
3) One fault on our side - countless on yours + lost territories.
4) Do you really believe that we do our job based on your true or false orders???
Well the fighting was pretty useless, but atleast i got my first BH, so thanks for that 🙂
@Moffinton
We don't have the territory or the population to trade ground for time. In case you haven't noticed we're losing the war of attrition, PEACE can afford to take their time, refill their coffers and then resume the offensive.
Washinton was lost before we put boots on the ground, Canada is but lost as we speak, we need to be looking big picture, what's going to help us and are allies rally in North America? If we aren't doing that, why even have allies. We can take back Canada but not without the full might of our allies at our backs, if we don't come together, if we don't stop thinking just about the defense of Canada and as Canadian operations as solitary endeavours then we truely are lost.
@ John Deschamps
That is exactly my position of how to (eventually) win this war
'http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/operational-pause-lifted-peace-poised-to-resume-offensive-updated--880949/1/20'
from the hungarian news paper. They only halted operations so that they could tank up and get more people into north america for an all out assault
We'll never win Canada -- apparently this is a European game and they got the jump on us newer North Americans -- lets quit placidly being their toy as they play world conquest and raise a ruckus about having to play a rigged game -- stick a finger in the game designers eye with some real Canadian fighting spirit instead of being such a bunch of placid losers playing a rigged game -- I refuse to bravely march out to the battlefield like an obedient little toy soldier and be a part of this stupid charade
To the death I say!
And what of the Victory Bonds? Will Canadians ever see their gold again that they invested?
