Oh Canada!
This debacle has been quite the cause for alarm among the citizens of late, so I will do my best to explain how the DoW went down and what lead up to it. I understand that some of you will fail to agree and this will be evident in the trolling below, but first you must understand upon becoming POTUS we (My team and I) were informed that Canada was currently an enemy. Before my administration Canada lead by Libertine had been operating in a very untrustworthy manner, and even leaked alliance secrets at one point. As I understand it, this is why LO never completed an NAP deal with them, because he was unable to deal with Libertine.
My policy on Canada when I first came to office was to quickly deal with them through an NAP and rental agreement, with a preliminary offer of 35 gold coming from Canada. That is a good deal, however with the position of the US, I felt that this was too much and got the same from several people I spoke with so this is what I told the Canadians. So I let the matter rest and began focusing on our alliance's future and seeking out new allies in the process which are more important issues for us to focus on. However, the issue resurfaced again a couple days ago when I received a message about Libertine hoping to use their upcoming membership in The Musketeers to take back CEC by force, which was cause for alarm for me.
Knowing that I would not be able to get a straight answer out of Libertine on this being his true plan for their TM membership, we had to take a different course. My first thought was just quickly wipe them out to remove Libertine from office, however after some deliberation on the cost of doing so it was decided to simply take Quebec. Once fortified it would have been cheaper and easier to simply hold these regions until a trusted government was put in place in the great North. After releasing this plan to Congress we got very good reactions over the next couple of days about the declaration and the battles and activity it would bring to the country.
So I sent out the DoW on Canada in time to allow the MPP with France to expire and give time for new MPPs to be issued for more firepower. It was at this time, that the syrup and seals tag for the war came into effect and the backlash began by several more active individuals outside of Congress. Only after all of this occurs the more quiet Congressmen begin criticizing the plan for the Canadian war and that we shouldn't have took the course of action. At this point it was too late for me to cancel the DoW as I would have done if they would have voiced their concerns beforehand, countering the idea of a unified response.
After several troll articles and a few calls for impeachment the DoW failed to pass, leaving us where we are now with Canada and the CEC. After this experience I think it is safe to say only a peaceful resolution will satisfy the general public on the CEC issue, and this will be the policy my administration takes throughout the remainder of my term. We will attempt to improve trust and friendliness among our peoples as well as the trust in my own abilities, moving forward we will repair the damage that this misstep on my part has done. If the Canadians wish to approach us with a peaceful agreement we will gladly meet them at the table, but for now America it is their move. If you have any further questions feel free to personally message me, ranting in public will achieve no response from me.
Other News
In other news we have been making great strides in other areas of governance, that deserve some attention. We are extremely close to an announcement on our plans for the US's choice of alliance and I hope to see them announced tonight. We also have several MPPs being discussed in Congress now, I am just waiting to gauge opinion before they are requested tonight. The DoI has also relaunched the moving program for the days the US isn't participating in any allied battles. Lastly on the issue of foreign affairs, I am in the planning stages of getting the US involved in a training war to utilize those bonuses in CEC.
We also have a couple staff updates that need to be addressed to give them a warm welcome to the team. First, due to the unfortunate banning of
Leroy Combs we will see 
Lilith of Apollyon come on board the team as Vice President. Derpy has been a good mentor and friend to me since I joined this game, and I look forward to working with him in the future. We also see the appointment of 
NathanP as Deputy Secretary of the Treasury after Congress accepted his nomination yesterday, I would like to give the Army XO a warm welcome to the team.
With that said America, I hope to provide a more domestic update soon after we resolve the urgent issues in our foreign policy. Until then I hope to improve on my communication and activity among the public, progress is being made America, this I know.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
