October 14th, 2008
That date marks a notable event for eCanada, as it is the date that I registered for eRepublik. It was 609 days ago that I joined this nation and set out to make a name for myself, and the experience has been extraordinary. Since then, I have helped to build this nation through various methods; ranging from game-mechanics, by being a 12-time Congress-member and a 3 time Party President of the Progressive Party of Canada; to role-play, by being apart of dozens of past Government Administrations as the Minister of Defense, Minister of Public Safety and even the Vice-President; and to 'other-mechanics', by being the Administrator of the eCanadian Forums, the Brolliance Forums, and the eCanadian IRC channels for these many months.
In my opinion, that's a fairly impressive resume. I've done it all. Well, all except the most prestigious position: President. I believe that with all this past experience, I have gathered the necessary tools, skills, and understanding to take on the position of President.
With this article, I am announcing my intention to run for Prime Minister on July 5th, 2010. I am seeking election, and will lead a clean campaign against my opponents in the Presidential elections. These opponents will be honourable and experienced citizens, like myself, therefore, if I am to win, I would like to include the runner-up as a major adviser in my Cabinet.
I have many goals and aspirations for the July 5th to August 5th term, but I will wait until later to reveal my plans, ideas for reform, and my incredible Cabinet. I wouldn't want anyone overdosing on too much awesomeness, afterall
😉
On June 20th, I will reveal my platform and explain the reforms I have in mind for the Ministries of Finance and Defense. Then on June 25th, I will reveal my full Cabinet.
Until then, I thank you for your attention and I hope to gain your trust for this Presidential endeavour.

I've worked closely with Ironman for almost a year. Ironman I've missed you this last month, I'm glad you have decided to return. I'm sure we will be working closely once more, and a presidential run is just going to make that all the more likely. 😉
Good Luck on the 5th Ironman.

So THIS is why JB has commandeered the CPF!!!
Penguin awaits to see what will happen.
Maybe he can make a comic out of this
Good luck
One of the oldest and most dedicated Canadian (recently back in his homeland) tries to become President. It's amazing that you didn't try before.
Good luck!
I will obey.

I wonder who the last minute DAL candidate will be that will beat you.
Most 2clickers = Most votes.
Style and substance have NOTHING to do with eRep elections anymore.
You're right Mug, because I put zero effort into my campaign, right?
I agree that your credentials are impressive, 1ronman, but I for one would need to be convinced that you have the temperament to lead. After all, it was only a month ago that in the face of stark criticism, you left eCanada. I hope you intend to demonstrate why this time, you'll not walk away in face of pressure, and criticism.
The current PM demonstrated profound unsuitability to lead in the face of opposition from Parliament, by resorting to petulance, and lashing out with petty insult. You, 1ronman, though not nearly as shamefully as Pendwyn, also felt the need to insult Parliamentarians, for no other reason than to satisfy your urge to lash out in the face of opposition. That is not leadership.
Maybe you have it in you, 1ronman, to demonstrate the temperament of a leader. And if so, I for one will need to be convinced.
I will wish you luck in your campaign.
Cheers,
AR1ARX
i'm afraid if i don't vote for 1ronman i'll be trodden on!
Mug, it's a french guys turn. Let's see if the DAL sticks with their deal.
T'as rien d'autre à faire que d'être parano Atoms ?
Je suis d'accord avec AR1ARX, ironman a fuit lorsqu'il a été dans l'eau chaude, je doute fort que ce soit un bon leader... Un bon leader doit faire face à l'adversité, non pas la fuir.
Good luck mate! 🙂
Good luck, mate. 😉
I'd rather not have a high ranking EDEN man who puts EDEN and gold before his country.
You give so much as you keep reminding us all, but take a hell of a lot more.
Even the Noobiest of Noobs know of 1ronman and his value to the country, this is a fact. But a newer player won't consider past political alignments and possible conflicts of interest when checking the box beside 1ronman`s name. And if the popular vote means anything, and we know it means everything, then the only way that this candidate will be beat will be threw a collaborative and very public 2 party attack on his character. I have a feeling things are about to get dirty! 🙂
"Mug, it's a french guys turn. Let's see if the DAL sticks with their deal."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(deep breath)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I mean, oh yah, totally. It's not like the DAL makes deals to get their candidates elected and then forget about thhem on the 6th. That's NEVER happened before...
There was no deal made for my candidature with any party.
good luck!
o7 Best of luck
Too true Dade, partly because a former DAL PP and CP ruined your party's reputation for sticking to deals.
Excellent
Best of luck!
"There was no deal made for my candidature with any party."
Word around the water cooler is that a deal was made with the UN for their support, but I obviously wasn't part of the conversation so I can't confirm or deny.
Oh c'mon Mug, everyone knows the UN is non-partisan and only wishes to make Canada a better place for all of us.
Could they have been lured off of their altruistic path by the glassy eyed sl*ttiness of the DAL?
Eh, merde! Before they even oozed off the plane.
Glad to see the change from CPF to EPIC, party by-laws prohibit nominating a candidate who has been a CPF member for less than 30 days.
