The Whiskey Rebellion Report
Owner of WRR: Fin
Writers: The Farmer, A.F and Brutus
Editor: None, we do not care for it

(The Opinions and articles do not represent the opinions of The Government nor anybody else except for the three writers. Thank you.)

Elections
(The Farmer)
In my time in being in Canada the last cabinet has so far been the best I’ve been under. The last cabinet got many a things done and done in style. But will the result of this election end up with the same result? Well I hope so. Though the way to end up with a great cabinet is by having a great election, with many chooses. Don’t get me wrong, the people running in this election are good candidates. Still, the watering hole was dried up. The reason of so few candidates is that Canada is not a political region, it is a social region, that’s not a bad thing, it’s mostly a good thing. But as being a social region, the innate drive for politics is lost and so our government takes a hit to the head. This is the character of our society that can not change and should not change. But still a problem in the land of freedom and insane root.
Another reason for so few candidates is the lack of new blood. Sure, Canada is one of the largest regions in Nationstates but as for the forums there are very few people that log on. The way to rise above the rest is to have more then just Parrrtay and maybe a few more others recruiting. So my fellow Canadians rise up to the call, beat your chest with righteous rage, and go forth to recruit. If not sooner or later Canada will die from the inside with the lack of new blood. With new blood comes new ideas, new way of doing things, and more people to run for office. It is very important to have these new hats to revive the government every now and than.

Role Play
(A.F)
Where have all the role players gone? I don’t know. But where ever they have gone, the rping section in Canada is slowly fading away. The new RP Coordinator, Farney, is trying to resurrect the section with Farney’s new game. This new game RV has gotten people in the region excited and has gotten more then just three people to play, it has gotten the whole region to play. This is a good sign for the RP, it still has a pulse and heart beat. Hopefully Farney will change the perception of the RP and keep the beloved RP section alive. So I tip my hat off to Farney and wish him the best of luck to revive the red headed step-child section that our region forgets.

The Moose Bi-Weekly
(Brutus)
With pretty much the death of The Moose, Canada has no paper, which makes Brutus a sad man. What caused the death of The Moose? Well, first off only having two reporters, the majority of Canada not caring for The Moose, and the retirement of the Chief of Press, Fin. The reason for the departure of Fin, was not that he didn’t love The Moose anymore, but his heart was not in it. He did not have the time to spend on The Moose and didn’t feel it right for him and Al (The Publisher) writing the majority of the paper. Another reason could be that the paper was too complex and too much of an adventure to perform. But hopefully a fellow Canadian will pick off where Fin and Al left off and The Moose Bi-Weekly will be published again. That is because ,in Brutus opinion, Canada needs The Moose. The reason being is that people need to know the going ons and that it is the papers job, when the average citizen can’t, check the powers of the government.

Epilog
The reason for this new paper is the hope that others will write their own paper. So that people may see the truth or think of their own opinions and speak their minds. Start people to talking about the whos, whats, and hows. To bring in different flavors in Canada. So I hope you all enjoy The Whiskey Rebellion Report and remember this is the first so be kind and gentle. I’m fragile. But please feel free to type in comments, opinions, maybe hopefully compliments and remember only the Shadow knows.

Love, the Loveable Blue eyes Fin

Whiskey Rebellion Report
Owner of WRR: Fin
Writers: Cooper Green and Fin
Editor: None, we do not care for it

(The Opinions and articles do not represent the opinions of The Government nor anybody else except for the three writers. Thank you.)

Beirut Bombing
(Fin)
On October 23, 1983 is a date that not many remember. But for yours truly Fin it is a date that can never be forgotten and should never be. What happen on this day was and still is a tragedy.
In Beirut, at the Marine Corp barracks, a terrorist group drove a van into the heart of the base and into the barracks. The van full of explosives blew up the American and French barracks. This attacked killed 241 American service men, most of the slain were the brave, young Marines.(220 to be exact). Also 58 French paratroopers died in the bombings.
It was a sad that we all have forgotten but October 23, 1983, should never be forgotten. Urahh.

New Cabinet
(Cooper Green)
I just like to congratulate all the winners of this election, nothing much to say about it now but soon remarks and opinions will be had.

Epilog
So not a very long paper today but a very important one in my opinion. Hopefully the WRR will hear back from the readers. Probably not but one can hope. Anyways some might be wondering, why Whiskey Rebellion Report? Why that strange of name? Well look it up and find out, if you find out what the Whiskey Rebellion is, I’ll put your name, yes your name in the report. So thanks for reading again and stay tune to the next issue. Oh, almost forgot, only The Shadow knows.

Love, the Loveable Blue eyes Fin

dear the loveable blue-eyes fin,

i enjoy your papers very much and hope that you continue to write them.

the whisky rebellion (or whisky insurrection) was primarily the harrassment of tax collectors for the new federal gov't which had put a tax on whisky; the tax was especially harsh on small producers and, particularly farmers.

george washington's use of the militia set a precedent that the us gov't would use force on its own dissenting citizens.

damn george washington.

love,
NiFa

The Whiskey Rebellion Report, Issue III
Owner of WRR: Fin
Writers: The Farmer, A.F, Cooper Green and Brutus
Editor: BT, for he won the game thing I did so his name gets put in here

(The Opinions and articles do not represent the opinions of The Government nor anybody else except for the four writers. Thank you.)

The Population Drop
(The Farmer)

As we all have seen across the land of Nationstates, populations have been dropping and here in Canada is no different. What was once a population of about 270 last month as decrease greatly to 220. There are many theories and reasons why this is happening, NS2 is affecting the population or people just do not want to play the game anymore. That Nationstates is dying. I do not see that Nationstates is dying, nor is Canada. All that we have to do is that all of us must start recruiting, that Canada becomes well known throughout the region and fixing the DoI.

As JFK once said, “Ask not, what your country can do for you. Ask what, you can do for your country.” This fits very well with our situation. It is time for the people of Canada to step up, kick ass and take names. Sure some do not have the time to go out recruiting but just take five to ten minutes of your time to help Parrrtay go out recruiting. There should be no other reason to do so but for the pride and stability of Canada but if there must be a reason. There should be some sort of prize or form an economic system for recruiters to get paid.

Another way of hopefully getting some new hats is by having Canada become well known within Nationstates. Already the Cabinet is already trying to accomplish this by establishing embassies across the Nationstates. Still, this is not enough; I say we must go further. Canada should become more politically active within the community, maybe even forming treaties or alliance. Though is forming colonies be going too far? I don’t know at this time, I’ll leave that question up to our readers. Anyways, what the Cabinet has started is a good starting point but we are still too far from the finish line.

The DoI was a great idea at the time but it is a broken system that must be revamped. Maybe instead of having the minister of regional affairs run it, maybe it should become its own cabinet position. With is being its own cabinet position one person will be concentrating on it and it will run more efficiently.

This Semesters Cabinet
(A.F)

This semester of the Cabinet has been a rocky one. There was not much legislation or change, even though Canada has been having problems. Though not saying they have been doing a bad job, far from it, they just not been going far enough. It could also being because I am comparing them with last semesters Cabinet, which was one of the greatest, I believe. So it would be unfair to compare the two. Still, with all that has been going on, one would think that the Cabinet would be more active and if real life got in the way of their duties, than they should have resign.

Active Citizens
(Cooper Green)

Canada has very few active citizens in its rank, yes the water cooler and other fun
threads have been very busy but in such positions as recruiter, soldiers, or ambassadors, there has been very little. To start with I want to thank all the people who have been active and been trying to make Canada a better place. O.k. with that out of the way, we need you, the people of Canada to start being active within the region. We need you all to sign up as ambassadors, recruiters, hell even run for office, or vote. We need you to respond to things in the HoC or even start legislation in the HoC. For if Canada becomes more active on the inside than Canada will still be here far in the future.

The Political Parties
(Brutus)

Canada has a very unique system of political parties, but are they really political? No, they are not. They are a façade of ones. Though now is the time for the parties to become rivals and for people to start joining in on the political party fun. For if the parties become active than Canada will be more active and people who want to join a region with some politics can find them with the parties. Also maybe Canada should have some sort of Political Convention, or dare I say it, make another part of the HoC with people who are elected there. Some sort of, I don’t know House of Electors, hey that’s a catchy name. Anyways, that is Brutus’s rant so join a party now.

Epilog

Yeah, sorry for having not done an issue of the WRR for a while but hey look, I did one now. I just want to say what would make this more fun for me if someone else wrote a rival paper to mine. So people go out and start your own paper, it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys. So fellow fans keep reading and thinking. Get active to be more precise and remember only the shadow knows.

Introduction:
This is a special edition of the WRR, special because its not much news or opinion piece more like a research news paper report. As you can tell from the title its about the political parties we have now-a-days and how they got this way. So to begin with I’ve made a timeline which took forever to figure out and get done to get the ball rolling. In this timeline there are five eras in which I will explain in the next part of the special edition. So enjoy. Wait I guess I can do a brief summery of the eras

1. The Era of Political Parties: When the first party in the new forum was form and the parties were taken seriously and were political, with actual agendas and platforms.
2. The Era of Silly and Club Parties: When parties were form to be silly and fun. They became more of a club like atmosphere then political.
3. The Era of The Struggling Political Parties: When political parties started to die off and a brief revival of the Political Party started.
4. The Era of Silly and Death: When many parties started to close or fold and the renewal of not club but just silly parties.
5. The Era of Gangs: When four parties exist and where parties turned from clubs and silly parties into more gang-like parties.

Love,
The Lovable Blue Eyes Fin

P.S. why? Because

The Whiskey Rebellion Report V
Owner of WRR: Fin
Writers: Writer X, Cooper Green, The Farmer, The Pitty Lad
Editor: None, we do not care for it

(The Opinions and articles do not represent the opinions of The Government nor anybody else except for the four writers. Thank you.)

The Moose:
By Writer X
Rumors have spread that smoke is coming out of the old The Moose Bi-Weekly publication factory and some have even heard the soft noise of typing. Does this mean something? Or is it just another crazy start up that will fail again? Or maybe it's just a rumor.

New Anthem?:
By Cooper Green
There has been much debate in the HoC about a new anthem for NS Canada. The thread started by our very own Fin. Many of Canada's finest citizens clamered into the small hall. Some songs that were proposed were silly like Nio's Blame Canada to weird like DPL My Heart Will Go On. So which song will be chosen...who knows? I don't.

Summer Elections:
By The Farmer
Summer Elections are coming up so hopefully it will be a bit more exciting than last. So far we know the current MoFA, DPL, wont be running again and that Parrrtay will most likely run again for PM, besides that, thats all this reporter knows. So people of Canada go out and run for office and VOTE.

JD is Hitched
By The Pitty Lad
Yes ladies and Gentlemen our lovely JD married the king of Equinox. Falc. It was a festive wedding and after party (Fin made it to the after party and drank all the beer). So the next thing is, do we start calling JD her majesty?

Epilogue
YAY, our fifth edition, never thought we'll make it this far. Five more Editions! Five more Editions! So i would like to thank our loyal readers (if we have readers) for supporting the WRR through the years. And as always put down your comments, questions and what not, i would love to hear them.

Love, Your Ever Lovable Blue Eyes Fin

The Whiskey Rebellion Report VI
Owner of WRR: Fin
Writers: Fin
Editor: None, we do not care for it

Bright Lights:
Matchbox 20 "There's some things in this world
You just can't change "

Its been a long while since I wrote in the WRR, but this is the best place to say wants need to be said. I've been in Canada since 08, thats a long time, and pretty much things stayed the same. But now there are so many new hats and the old hats are leaving or taking a much needed rest. Things are changing rapidly, I hope for the better. Folks don't even know the rivalry between our so called Political parties of the Fat Whales and the People Who Throw Goats and Bagpipers. Parrrtay is not the PM anymore, now it is Cow (gratz Cow). Well I guess I just want to say that the torch has been passed to a new generation and I hope to the core of my soul that the same great traditions of the old Canada is carried on. So good luck new Canada, ya gonna need it.

Epilog: I can promise Canada this, I will never leave, when ever there is a new Canada there will always be your Lovable Blue-eyed Fin. There will always be the spirit of Ess, JD, Kyle and anyone else who has pretty much left the region. So good night and good luck.
