[LEO]Big Brother
Leo Balzac
What brings a mighty eUS citizen to our fair nation 5 days before a CP election? Is it love of our poutine? A desire to wear flannel shirts? No my friends, it is something far more insidious, depraved and evil, it is nothing short of a vanity project.
Yes folks, shocking, I know but it is true. We have before us a President, who admittedly does good work down south with his MU and has in the past helped eCanada out; he is also one who is largely marginalized by the real power-brokers of the eUS. You see, his political acumen is not highly regarded by those who 'matter' in the eUS, he is viewed as one with much energy but little understanding of the situations. It has been said to me that he has never had a problem with a situation he couldn't buy his way out of.
Whoa, whoa Leo, aren't you being a little harsh? It's true, my language seems to be very mean-spirited and troll-like. I also know many of you would say that's how I've always been and you wouldn't be 100% wrong, but I must stop you here for a moment. I don't dislike DMV the player, he seems nice, he appears to be capable (if the success of his MU is any indicator) and he probably is earnest. My problem is that his heart is not in the right place.
The real reason DMV came here, 5 days before the CP elections, was because he really truly wants a shiny CP medal on his profile. That's it, end of story. Oh sure the articles he wrote about being a 'non-partisan force' to help 'heal eCanada' were great soundbites and seemed like a fantastic strategy but they are no strategy. All we have from our great new CP so far is a month long 'tax holiday'....whoopee!
So this is how it's going to go down folks, we're gonna get our Tax Holiday, we'll sign some MPPs and that's about it. DMV will talk about resuming the brolliance, but I have it on good authority that the upper echelon of the eUS has no desire to resurrect such an alliance. Why would they? Most of our biggest earners/oldest citizens already live in the US, we are a small and weak nation just getting up off our knees. The dream DMV is selling you is a lie, it is a lie told only to facilitate his own vainglorious ambitions.
I for one won't lie down and take this cheapening of our highest office lightly. I sincerely hope the rest of you don't either.

FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
Snickers are overrated.
Just took the time to actually read this. You don't mention Snickers anywhere. I'm slightly disappointed.
As for the article, you're starting to sound like one of those girls that start to go crazy right before the big break up.
Or you might be hungry, and in that case, eat a Snickers. You're not yourself when you're hungry.
just talking the truth
Nah brah, he's cool.
You can watch me any time...
For a guy who just wants a medal, DMV made quite a few changes in the last couple days that quite a few others approve of. I looked back at the tax rates and WRM Import has been at 99% for almost ever and eCanada has been raking in tax dollars with a 25% tax on food for months and months.
I know I have a wildly different perspective on things compared to people who have been around forever...but I just can't get past the notion of why this wasn't done sooner. I guess it took an outsider to make the right changes.
most of it is due to not having a congress. No congress = no tax changes
Oh yes, he can certainly push the buttons and I even said the tax change was obviously going to happen. Look at the way it went down though. Not even a single shred of the CRoO being followed; yet he speaks of the need for greater roleplay...No respect for us or our customs.
CRoO was followe😛 https://ecanada.cc/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=48284
Check the time stamps bud
Its the location not the amount of time, usually in the past proposals are made in Open Door Congress or Closed not the public discussion section
Though the CRoO doesnt specify it only says "Any congressman wishing to put forward an in game proposal must post their reasons either on the forums or in an article in game" so if a congressman posts something anywhere on the forums he is basically allowed to and it still counts. Things are posted in ODC so that every congress member knows exactly whats going on and more importantly where its going on as only 3 people allowed to vote in game participated in the tax holiday discussion
Someone needs to fix the CRoO and the Speaker needs to get his shit together, though this isnt a big deal
MDP elite mad eh? lol
One of those rare times I agree with Beorn.

So I told the swamp donkey to sack it before I give her a tonk in the tradesman's entrance and have her lick me yardballs.
Yeah, I'm definitely mad. Not for the reasons you're insinuating though.
You haven't seen Leo mad yet, though he may be a madman.
For a guy just after a medal he sure has been working 24/7 for us after he got the medal. Also the main reason DMV got into trouble with the elite in the USA was for having USA MU's fight for us and for calling out the fat cats in the US for living off the government tit.
Leo you know I love you but I swear to god if you don't stop whining... xD
not whining at all. Speaking truth as it has been shown to me.
Ya big girls blouse...
Don't worry Patty, we all see how you're benefiting from the current arrangement. If I didn't know you were gone for good in another month or so, I'd have words for you as well.
Well dictatorship was pretty fun...
Only time will dis/prove your point. Like the blind says, "We'll see".
Please keep watching.

This is funny. You fled and ran from eCanada so you don't know what the dedicated eCanadians were doing while you were gone. DMV should have been an eCanadian but could not because the obvious our lack of regions. He has done more to help this nation while we were occupied than you ever will.
Actually no. I donated tons of food, tanks and money to multiple CPs for attempts at freedom. I tanked hundreds of millions in damage to help you, when my DO was set to the opposite. YOU have no idea what I was doing while you were sitting in your misery doing nothing in a wiped nation.
I tanked at least two billion for Canada, spent several 100k on Mercs, and arranged for additional MUs to fight for Canada. You have no idea what I did because you were not around. You want to know my contribution to Canada there are a dozen or more people you could ask, but instead you would rather run a smear campaign. Have fun trolling......
Leo we DO know what you were doing while we were sitting in our misery in our wiped nation.
Damage for the UK: 1,873,412,444
Damage for Canada: 193,946,932
Now tell us all again how much you did for Canada.
--"I tanked hundreds of millions in damage to help you"
--Damage for Canada: 193,946,932
In all fairness, if you do round up to the nearest hundred million, you get 200 million, which I suppose could still be called "hundreds of millions"
I'm trying to appreciate that Leo wants us to pay attention to Canadian politics. I do not like it that it reads as an attempt to cast doubt on the efforts of DMV, but I'm really trying to see it as a message that Canadians need to get involved in leading the country. When looking at old election records, it's surprising to see how many have left for other places or just left the game entirely.
While he was in the UK his TP Damage doesn't accumulate. Comon guys, basic stuff. If he did that much damage just doing DOs and stuff in the UK then just picture how much he did for us. It isn't hard.
Dennis, it's easier to spend more when you have more to spend.
The Grinch, Wilfie: Learn how the game works guys, the TP damage totals you're looking at don't include any damage I did for eCan after I gained eUK cs.
It's okay though, you can believe what other, heavily invested and biased, individuals have been telling you.
DMV3 still did more for us than you ever have and will. There is no excuse to fleeing a country.
We all know that if Leo's MU hadn't got involved eCan would still be under eSpain's rule. You didn't win back your regions through force. You won them back by eUK pressuring TWO into handing them back.
Leo effectively 'showed us the light' and by having the ear of a TWO leader was able to 'bring eSpain to the table'. Without him being in the eUK you'd still be getting fobbed off by the eSpanish...
Calm your titties everyone, DMV is not a threat, at most, only a concern.
His mere presence in the CP chair is an insult to all eCanada.
how?
Leo, I find that it is an insult that you have come back and spouted a whole bunch of garbage with your holier than thou attitude when just a week go you were nothing more than an annoying memory to most people who stayed here trying to keep the canadian economy and players alive and engaged. You ran away.
Leo moved before the occupation, as well as it had nothing to do with the occupation.
It's too bad you choose to be insulted Grinch. I find it insulting that you even suggest you tried to keep the canadian economy alive as there was no such thing after the wipe.
You probably shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about.
IBB, you sure he left before the wipe?
Beorn: IBB is wrong, I left after the wipe as I spent every last item I'd saved to try and stop it.
