Report from Canada
24 February 2006
Prepared by Judith Gap

Forum (184,167 posts) - Wiki - Webpage

Population: 288
Delegate: Carbanousa (82 endorsements)

Diplomatic Events

• Canada has decided to open an embassy with Liberalia. Although no opening gala was planned, an impromptu party broke out.
• Canada decided against opening an embassy with Spinward at this time.
• Judith Gap announced his retirement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, effective March 1st. He will be visiting all of the embassies to say goodbye.
• Special welcomes to Farlane of Liberalia, Carops of Liberalia, and Avenging Angels of The Exodus.

Regional Affairs:

• There has been considerable debate about the role of political parties in the region.
• Special welcome to new members: evil ab, macropus, holy madness, Mackinau, Shawn Lavigne, Halo Revolution, cobalt, Shawn Chrétien, Saorse, Skojoe, Skojo, steak Fries

Governmental Affairs

• Canada recently passed a "Proofreading Amendment," by which grammatical errors can be corrected without requiring a regional vote. I believe the ambassador's report may be exempt however.
• Cabinet has been kicking around the idea of holding discussions of a few issues in a publicly viewable forum.
• Canada voted:
  FOR the UN Resolution: "Workplace Safety Act"
  FOR - a Repeal of the UN Resolution: "Abortion Rights"
  AGAINST the UN Resolution: "Anti-Terrorism Act"
  FOR - a Repeal of the UN Resolution: "Legalise Euthanasia"
  FOR - a Repeal of the UN Resolution: "Gay Rights".
  FOR - a Repeal of the UN Resolution: "The Rights of Labor Unions".

Out of Character

The best wishes of the region go out to Omnivorous for a speedy recovery. We'll miss you until you return. Then we'll do something else to you, I suspect.

Regular Report Features of "Around the Watercooler" and "Quotes" have been omitted from this report for reasons directly connecting to my resignation. Everyone here types soooo^14,000 much.

OK, thanks for the Update. I was wondering if you could provide us with the addresses to the links so when we post it on the forums we can inlcude working links. Thanks :D

If you hit 'quote' and copy it that way it will give you the links.

Usually I will specify waiting a period of time before posting the report into your forum so that we can make any corrections to the report.
