Looking Back

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and (my apparent stalker) Tembutt
It's been a long time since i wrote one of these i've been inspired by reading some of my old articles from way back when i was an enthusiastic new eCanadian.
I spoke a lot about why i left eUS and why i felt coming here was right.
At the time eUS was using the Unity system (or whatever) each politician was hand picked every election was predetermined and people were expected to do as they were told or they'd get blacklisted etc.
There was a mass exodus a majority of us came here (speakee English? Yes) we literally marvelled at how free eCanadas elections were (I wrote about how different/unique it was after the time we'd spent just clicking where we were told to click)
We integrated and became eCanadians, made friends, joined parties and got involved, I love being here i'm not hugely vocal (anxiety issues etc blah blah) but i will occasionally speak up and say what's bothering me.
Well right now it seems eCan has adopted the Unity thing and it's so sad and cynical. The worst part for me was while looking back through old articles and comments, I realised that the people who fought hard back then to keep eCanada from becoming that way are now fighting even harder to make sure we vote how they want us to.

I would like to summit this article for Code-Y joke competition. 1st place contender for sure.

Better luck next time
Dammit, It was an honor to be sarcastically considered i guess.
uh.. I meant Napoleon54, didn't even consider the article as it was denied, as I thought it would be unfit.
Submission denied. However the comment will be considered based on votes.
*sigh*
All you can Hope for Majial is more citizens wanting more than an air program to buy there compliance and mindless TWs with no purpose. These things are nice but not meant to be a formula to run a country for years.
Lack of imagination and ambition from leadership are mostly at fault. The main goals for the current Govt are accumulating fake currency, rank and bars with no end game in sight to use it on. Most of those who could offer potentially other paths are long gone so there is no end in sight to this current course.
eCanada will stay afloat until Plato turns the lights off and i dont expect anything exciting to happen until then especially considering how excited many of them seemed to get to of had something to do fighting me alone in UK and thats just sad.
~hyuu~
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, Majial.
I vote for the goal of not shaking things up, namely going into random wars since I've been through the times of war. If eCan wants a war (aside from TW) via AS or however else, it always is an option to voice, but few entertained the thought over the past years except maybe when our ally eCuba had been AS'd.
This game is not worth "real war" or "shaking things up"
It costs too much to take the game seriously. Far better to just play it like farmville.
It sucks, but it's the truth and it wasn't always this way 🙁
defeatist attitude at its height, No ones saying spend real money but if everyone's sitting around on piles of bars after building up for 6 months why not go do something even if its helping someone else thats ina real war with an organized push. So little imagination with those in charge its painful.
hardly defeatist. Just realist
Im hard pressed to believe nothing is out there for us besides the status quo ive observed for the last year.
please write more about what you want to happen. it's actually appreciated.

Although I appreciate the stability that the powers-that-be provide for Canada, I have long called for and craved a bit of action... that said, there are those that know which buttons to push, and there are those like me, that are talking heads that are yelling to hear their own voice. Perhaps a summit, a thread, or a meeting of political minds can be developed to put differing ideas out there and see if there is a different, more engaging way forward. If such a thing were to be created, it can't be hidden in Congressional threads, or Discord channels. The same ten folks, talking to the same ten folks are only going to come up with the status quo. If possible it should be open to all Canadians, and all Canadians should be encouraged to share their thoughts. Just a thought... coffee!
Well then I feel sorry for Mann551. He spent a week with no sleep, fixing walls and calculating campaign points by the second so that we could win the resource wars and have a solid income with which to build anything. He has been constantly asking people for over 2 years what do we want to build with the income and nobody has made a solid proposal other than HAP and Epic creation. He asked in congress thread again this week and can you guess the answer? Crickets as usual. Then the only people that were serious enough to come up with anything get bashed by the silent for their dumb ideas LMAO.
And by the way Discord is open for anyone civilized enough. Only 2 people have been banned for crossing the line. PM Mann and he will happily send you an invite link. But again people are shy to come up with something but very vocal to criticize anybody else's work.
There are some brilliant minds in Canada. I don't doubt that. They keep the wheels turning. I think there are those on the outside, that feel like Canada is basically a game for bureaucrats, and smart bean counters, that yes keep things running, but have little interest in change.
It depends QB. What is that magical "change" people want? And we are back to square one. We don't even know what change we want because we keep asking and nobody has suggested anything else in the past 2 years. If change is burning everything up just because then you are correct. I am not interested in change.
I don't disagree. Being reckless for the sake of change is not the smart way forward. I wish I had enough game knowledge to make intelligent suggestions, but I don't. I will always encourage discussion and debate though.
Is this the media revival for politics?! \o/
I never use the media for political purposes... ever. 😏
Wrote several fancy words with very deep meaning. My "smart" phone just ate them.
Majial is correct.
Amen
