Ministry of Justice

To cater for a vacancy in cabinet, the Prime Minister used a less well-known clause of the constitution to appoint jDELIGHT as Minister of Foreign affairs. As required the appointment was subject to ratification, firstly by the Cabinet and then by a regional Vote of Confidence. Both votes were unanimously in favour.


Ministry of Foreign Affairs

• New Minister of Foreign Affairs jDELIGHT takes on the role after a small but enthusiastic vote of confidence. She returns to NS after a few months sabbatical for ... health reasons. "Good to be back ya'll!"
  
• Canada articulated its policy of not establishing embassies on the RMB without one on the offsite forum. Since our diplomatic policies are governed and hosted on our forums, it was thought that all requests should be referred to the appropriate area offsite for due process and full participation in regional governance.
  
• An embassy request from The Enclave was respectfully turned down due to that region's small size, recent founding and lack of a constitution.
  
• Diplomatic relations with The West Pacific have been suspended while TWP revises its new constitution. We wish them well in their efforts.

The Lion Pride of Mahaj arrived in Canada, and started endo-swapping. Upon reaching 50% of the delegate's total, he was advised of the appropriate process if he wished to run for delegate. After some further prompting, he finally made his challenge legal.

Following a short campaign, it became clear that Parkplace had overwhelming support from the local community. Mahaj abandoned his delegacy challenge, and removed his WA nation, but remains a citizen. His campaign introduced some interesting debating points, and has enlivened the region.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

• Pretalia disbands, and so we regretfully closed their embassy and wish those players good luck in their future NS pursuits.
  
  
• The region welcomes two new ambassadors: Hurun from Greater Wetlands, and Lady Rebels ambassador from The South Pacific.

Fiddlegreen Farms took over from Fin as deputy Minister of Justice. The remaining offices were unchanged.

Ministry of Justice

It has become clear that our existing government structure no longer serves the needs of NS Canada. We are currently in an interregnum while we re-consider the situation and work towards a new constitution.

Long-time cabinet member Almonaster has declared a run for Delegate, citing the need for reform as a key to his campaign. He briefly took the delegacy, but the tide is now running in favour of Parkplace, who is currently 5 endorsements clear.

A very sad farewell to Davislyvania, his maple trees and his acerbic wit.
Where the History of Canada is concerned, always on time, he will always be missed.

Welcome though to Boreal Tundra, proving to be an hilarious, varied and insightful documenter of Canadian history.

Unibot - the Canadian (right) way.

Almonaster - Just don't join the furries. Hell hath no furry, and I'd miss you.

jDELIGHT - ]Yayz! A pwny!!

DPL - Life's too short for circumflexes.

And finally this gem from our resident artist/critic...

Matilda Love - ‘Team Hospitlar’ just might be the most unholy tribute to post-modernisms abject objections to anti eclectic culturalism we have seen so far this century.

Fin, an artist rooted in modernistic heroisms is to be lauded for his distinctly un-naturalistic expressionism of realistic renditions of the most revered men and women of our hedonistic society’s existential understanding of self.

His latest piece, ‘Team Hospitlar’ is both charming and disturbing. We are drawn in by the disparate elements that nonetheless assault and appal our senses whilst shockingly appealing to our sense of the absurd at the same time.

The design elements are a stunning comment on anti-anti-ism.

This is an extraordinary work by an extraordinary emerging artist, someone to be watched.
The artist known as Fin, an artist shrouded in mystery so profound that it is known to mystify even him…

TPBM knows what they are talking about

No, but I have an app for that.

Discussing the Olympics...

....and just on a funny note why didn't they do anything on the oppression of the Scots or Irish, they seem to skip that from they're history

The oppression was commemorated by their symbolic exclusion from the ceremony.

From ParrrTay in Dear Diary:

Is it rude to throw a breath mint in someone's mouth while they are talking?
