My road to Canada or how I learned not to give a f**k what the eUS leaders think
MAS.
Note: This is a re-publication from 2013, at the time I left the US I was XO of Seal Team Six and during the fall out from the situations that created a low point for Canadian-US relations.
On June 17, 2013 after nearly 4 years and 11 terms in Congress I decided to walk away from the eUS for good. This was not a decision I made lightly, but thought about for a couple months, during my time in Congress I tried to bring a balance to government so all eAmericans could benefit from the system. But alas I had to admit to myself that it was a losing cause. So I applied and was granted citizenship to Australia http://www.erepublik.com/en/country/Australia/citizenship/applications/approved/229 while still not sure what I was looking for, I was sure as hell of what I wanted to get away from, a corrupt system that favored the few over the many.
After a little over 2 months in Australia and not really knowing many people there, Canada once again on the map, I applied for citizenship and this would be my last stand to either revive my interest in the game or to fade away. On August 26, 2013 I was given Canadian citizenship http://www.erepublik.com/en/country/Canada/citizenship/applications/approved/409 the hardest part of receiving Canadian CS, I knew it meant I would certainly at some point in the future have to cut my relationship with Seal Team Six, everything I had done in game up to this point had revolved around ST6.
It now has been 7 months since I have arrived in the land of snow and maple syrup (mmm) and this now is my home, I have served 6 terms in congress, during which I believe all my votes have been cast in the best interest of the country as a whole. I have fought a long side those who give over and above with no claim of recognition for doing so. I will be here, regions or not, as far as I’m concerned this is as close to my utopia as I’m going to find in eRep. For if you come here and work and give of yourself for the common good you’ll find that Canada is like a big family they may fight amongst themselves but when pushed they come together in time of need.
Canada, I stand on guard for thee

Guess the CS links are a little off now OZ link is page 228, CS records for June in Canada seem to be missing, . Seems I'm now illegal, someone build a wall!
Found myself on page 406, lesson learned don't look for stuff while heavily medicated. 🙂 , doh.
~hyuu~
I'm happy be in eCan with you, Smith 🙂 ❤
You were a lot braver than me Smithy. It took me almost 13 years to decide to leave e-Greece, for pretty much the same reasons: corruption. I am happier in the game these past couple of months than I have ever been in the previous 11-12 years.
Be even braver and join Alpha Flight. 🇨🇦 🙃
That's right! You were a big time military geek. Some people wanted me to join ST6 but I wasn't Strong enough. They had me join the training thing and I was pushed through fast and was destined for MI, Moble Infantry. The day I was supposed to start the US Military became the "Old" US Military. That was about as shitty a deal as ever was.
I loved stirring crap in Congress. Funniest thing when they elected me Speaker of the House even though I didn't make it to Congress. Peiffer was sputtering like a pressure cooker about to explode. 😆
Anyhow, glad you're here.
Peiffer was one one of those people if he was patting you on the back you had better be checking the other hand for a knife.
He never had that chance with me. Hated that dick.
Yep
I never knew this. I was in ST6T2 after a stint with EZC as well as the USMC. While I miss some friends from those days I will never regret my choice to leave. 100% agree you made the right choice. Glad to see you saw the light as well friend.
Love me a good origin story.
Glad to have you here, Smithy!
❤
