Orders: Build armies and send them into the rest of the unowned Canadian territories.
Who owns that land in Western Canada? The Republic of Canada would like to reunite all Canadian land under its domain, we are willing to negotiate.
In other news, the House and Senate elections have occurred.
The Conservative Party took the lead in the House of Representatives, obtaining 35% of the seats, with the Social Democrats a close second, with 31%. The Christian Democrats did fairly well, but were a distant third at 10%. The Libertarians were in fourth, with 9%, and the nationalists were in fifth, with 5%. The Red Party got 3%, with very small percentages going to the other parties. The 50-man senate is also controlled by conservatives, who have 26 of the 50 senators. The social democrats have 23, and the Christian Democrats managed to get one senator elected, from Quebec.
The Conservatives, Christian Democrats, and Libertarians had enough combined power to form a coalition, and have chosen the moderate David Baker to become the first President of Canada. With a fairly moderate political compass score of +3, +3, the Social Democrats have agreed to accept his nomination for the good of the country on condition that conservative senators agree to vote for social democratic senate minority leader Joseph Strider for Vice President. The Conservatives have agreed to these conditions.

The House and Senate are in dispute over foreign policy. While the Libertarians have coalitioned with David Baker's Conservative Party and the Christian Democrats, the Conservatives perhaps agree more with the CNP on foreign policy than the parties they are actually coalitioned with. The Christian Democrats are strong social conservatives but generally side with anti-war advocates, considering violence to be against Jesus' teachings. The Libertarians are even more radical, claiming that any wars of aggression whatsoever, even against Canadian territory under foreign occupation, to be incompatable with the non-aggression principle. David Baker takes a much more interventionist stance, wanting a Canada which takes an active goal on the international affairs, and does not discount war as a possible solution to reunite Canada. There is also some debate in the Social Democratic party as to how much support for military intervention is justifiable. Unlike some of the minor parties, like the Libertarians, Reds, Anarchists, and Christian Democrats, the Social Democrats side strongly with David Baker on reunification of Canada, but there is dispute over whether it is worth a violent reunification if that is the only option on the table.
David Baker asks our neighbors under what conditions they would be willing to return to the old United States and allow the Republic of Canada to rule Canada. We would rather this be done diplomatically or financially than via war.
