Ambassadors,

This week Carbanousa will be posting the report into embassies. If you have comments or corrections, I need them in 9 hours from now.

Be prepared to mount your best witty reparte with Carb in embassies this week! I was thinking of calling the whole visit, "The more-better, non-crappy, hyphenated-Delegate tour!"

Diplomatic Events

• Canada has a few entrants who will be participating in 10,000 Islands's Soccer League.

Regional Affairs:

• Snowflakes finally stopped falling this week on the forum, while a major snowstorm has sent many members of the region to T & P's Shoreline Spot for warm food, drinks, LaughterandSunshine, who just happens to be living up to her name.
• Our sporting correspondents all seem to have come down with a nasty virus. We will report sporting news as it becomes available to us.
• Parrrrtay hit 10,000 posts in our forum this week. Only 6,000+ to catchup with leader, kana da.
• Special welcome to new members: Hathoria, Redveras, Rock_CKY_Today, Pacific_Curator, MiniMoose, Micronanta

Governmental Affairs

• In it's first rollout of potential legislation for a new term (sounds like a poetry chapbook), the cabinet addressed problems with members receiving admin powers without having first been approved by the government. This resolution generated quite a bit of debate and prompted cabinet to go back to the drawing board.
• Canada voted AGAINST the UN Resolution: Artistic Freedom. Ultimately members had difficulty accepting that the UN could tell member nations what is or isn't art, let alone what is done for an aesthetic (and not economic) purpose.

OOC Happenings:

• Checkers McDog is back from her trip to India and has promised to post her pics.
• Hudson Bay informs us that not only has he read the book 1984, but lives it as well - he lives in the U. S. of A.
• king girl has great genes! Her hair is blonde in the summer and red in the winter!
• 420 Celebrants had a bad week as he lost both a grandmother and his job. Many hugs and condolences.
• Daemon got his grades back from last term:
  CPSC 340 Machine Learning 93%
  CPSC 421 Intro to Computer Theory 90%
  CPCS 532a Multi-Agent Artificial Intelligence 91%
  MATH 443 Graph Theory 85%
  We're taking away all network priveleges until he gets he gets that 85% into the 90's!
• kana da has made a New Year's resolution:

Good luck with that, kd! *big grin*


Random Quotes from Discussion Boards

"Snowflakes finally stopped falling this week on the forum, while a major snowstorm has sent many members of the region to T & P's Shoreline Spot for warm food, drinks, LaughterandSunshine, who is living up to her name."

Awkward sentence. Try: " ... warm food, drinks and LaughterandSunshine, who just happens to be living up to her name." instead.


Also, there is a space needed in this sentence: " Canada voted AGAINST theUN Resolution: Artistic Freedom. Ultimately members had difficulty accepting that the UN could tell member nations what is or isn't art, let alone what is done for an aesthetic (and not economic) purpose." (I'll let you figure out where)

And also, I would believe it was Ess that wrote the quote that has no name attached to it.

All four changes have been made.

YES! Two weeks off. No wait....did we receive two weeks off with pay?

[QUOTE] LaughterandSunshine, who just happens to be living up to her name.

Thank you for the kind words :blush:

Wait, you've been getting paid?

Why the heck do I frequently confuse JD and Ess? Must be that insane root.

And umm ... JG ... you might want to check your office payroll. I've been getting monthly cheques as well for my ambassadorial work.

I haven't been getting a thing! Oh, really, the payroll department is getting on my nerves. Perhaps I should not do any more work until I see that check.

Who is the forum accountant?

Exactly who said you got paid?

Don't you remember when Cabinet passed that ammendment that stated no elected official could collect a paycheque?

ya know i think there a bunch of gnomes in one of the back closets of the cabinet building that do the payroll.

Great job JG and Carb. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of your postings.
Thanks for making Canada a place to be proud of.
