An apology to Canada...
•
by HuCard
Yesterday, the German congress accepted a proposal to sue peace with France and to cease our limited support to Canada, that having been to remain officially neutral but at least give our citizens the chance to fight by leaving the MPP with your nation open.
This is a saddening act of betrayal from our side, and I feel deeply sorry that the vote of mine and the ones of the 3 other congressmen who opposed this were not enough to avert this disappointing decision.
However, please do not condemn our entire nation yet. The voting on this was preceded by a fierce debate concerning our standing point in the eWorld which is still waging on in the eGerman forums, and the popular opinion as well as the governmental one are parted by a deep rift. Our current administration is on a course to join PEACE, yet there is quite a bit of opposition and while in the end it may be inevitable, it does not represent the will of the entire German people.
A lot of us still harbour friendly and sympathetic feelings for Canada, and many are upset that they have been robbed of the chance to fight for our ally. We have not forgotten that you were one of the nations most loyal to us in our war against Sweden and Poland, and even afterwards, as we came under indirect control by PEACE nations, you stood to us. Many Germans appreciate this, and wish to return the favour now that you are facing an equally unjust invasion by superpowers, and a lot of ones have fought on your battlefields already, either from here or by migrating to countries allied with you or Canada itself.
Sadly, there is a very large amount of people, unfortunately also sitting at the top of the country right now, who apparently don't value true friendship and do not feel inclined to help someone in peril who has previously given all for us. This is an outrage and a shame for Germany, as it shows the willingness of many to ram a knife into the back of someone close to us just to opportunistically enjoy the benefits that a union with PEACE would bring us at the expense of our sovereignty and the freedom to decide what is right and worth fighting for, and our dignity and honour.
Again, I want to apologise for this crime. But even if the government is heading towards the direction of betrayal of the lowest kind, dropping a much valued and dear friend like a hot potato in favour of the aggressive forces who threaten its existence out of selfish (and even in that regard questionable) motivations, so believe me that there are still quite a few of us who share my opinion and either try to still fight on from within to get Germany to change its course (which is why I will not move out to Canada yet), or who have their heart in the right place and leave their disappointing homeland to continue fighting for justice.
Disclaimer: As I was removed from my position as German ambassador to Canada due to my admittedly controversial statements not necessarily working in the favour of our current administration's apPEACEment politics, this is an entirely unofficial and personal article.
Also, I'd appreciate it if you could vote up this article in which there is a note informing sympathisers of the free moving tickets that can be provided to them should they desire to fight on.

voted. perhaps the germans and canadians will fight side by side again soon
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity...
Yeats, The Second Coming.
This is our world right now.
eCanadians know that we still have allies in eGermany,
same as eUK - even if their 'governments are not.
ah yes, Hive gets it's hands in another pie
well, you can still move before the citizenship mode kicks in
A fellow German comrade with the hearth at the right place.
I can confirm, that there is a heated discussion in the German forum and I am disappointed that this is the result.
To all Germans in B.C.: Wählt Dr.Pain!
ah... germany. (has nothng to say)
voted?
voted,
it is all about elites and their interests
there is no Hate or Aggression against Canada, i think i will not lie if i say ALL germans are thankful and proud of the canadaian-german connection, but every side must make their own decisions and live with it , we made decisions that lead to our complete destruction.
canada joining FORTIS and germany might be joining PEACE does not mean that this strong tie must break. Hopefully we will soon be on the same side again ...
for canada
for germany
i faught for canada as long as the mpp excists
ugh
Makes me think we should have supported Sweden and Poland, if Germany was just going to take part in the invasion of our country
It was Peace who helped Germany to get their freedom in the past, yet you still fight against it or at least don't support them....You sure have a bad memory.
Canada also helped Germany and not because of the reasons mentioned in the linked article. The PEACE that freed Germany does not exist anymore anyway and Germany should not join the HIVE.
eGermany will never forget the actions of eCanada in our darkest hours. While I do wish that eCanada to be well and stable, due to our political situation with our neighbors, I think the state itself needs to be neutral or we will disappear again.
I urge all citizens that want to support eCanada should do what they believe in and like HuCard said, there are free tickets if this war compels you to fight in North America should do so.
Regardless, I hope the Canadians do not see this as a betrayal and understand our position as this is a lose lose situation for us too. Two friends fighting each other do put us in a strange position. Damn if you do and damn if you don't.
Voted. Im in eSweden to defend eCanada from here.
Moved to eCanada about 3 days into the conflict and intend to stay until the end
Lets send at least voluntaries to Canada to help them fight off France.
What you don't get HuCard is that this isn't an action. It is a reaction. This whole thing couldn't have happened if Canada hadn't attacked France in the first place 😉
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Starkad, you're in eSweden with your phony congress applicants to do a PTO on eSweden, one of eCanadas defenders. You betray them not once, but twice.

Your hilarious party filled with germans with swedish flags for avatars running for congress says it all.
Without PTOs the campaign in north america would have been a lot harder, Croatia would have been there alongside with Canada to fight off the invasion in force. Now PEACE plans to take more countries out of the equation by using a method which will be gone soon because the admins knows what an abuse of game mechanics it is. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Germany = PEACE scabs
Voted!
poignant 😞
It is good to know that true friendships and allies still reside within eGermany.
Thank you for your kind words, and for the appology.....
There will always be friends of eGermany in eCanada aswell!!
this war was over before it started, peace has to much manpower, only a matter of time, we could have taken france or any other country but now there backed by peace so were kinda dead now arnt we
its a shame 🙁 - but thank you for the letter - atleast we know some of your intentions !
CANADA shall not fall
Germany is indeed in dark times, as is the entire community of E Republick, as an E Canadian, I hold no animosity towards E Germany, one will do what one must to survive.
But the time for fence sitting and neutrality has long since passed, if North America falls, there will be continuous resistance wars that will ripple across the globe.
The alliance Germany is about to sign with will implode, as it is based on war and war alone and will be unable to sustain its self with Hungary and Indonesia both having designs as the dominate players.
Human nature is very predictable and this alliance will implode as the world becomes smaller and territory insufficient for these two aforementioned countries.
The free countries of the world are fighting not only for their existence, the tentacles of this war stretch to Germany, diplomacy is dead, your alliance is only valid for thirty days, what if the Peace GC fails to re-new with you, at least on this day, you still have a chance to fight with dignity as a united Country.
Regardless of the outcome of this global war, Nations that have fallen will rise again, stronger and wiser, this circle of you attacked me in the past so I attack you now is ill perceived vengeance.
When the E world is facing its darkest hours that is when the true character of a Nation is determined for the history books.
Good Luck
Congress of Germany, you have a little schmutz of PEACE on your lips there, here's a tissue.
Screw Germany
I am still proud that the American people stood on principle to help the German people in their hour of need.
Apologies are fine and good. But in are present position of crisis and turmoil we need action and results. I for one can say I fought in Germany many times always using Q1 weapons that I paid for with my meager earnings. Step aside and let us carry on the fight for National Freedom without you. Glory to Canada and all our allies that support her.
Ich habe persönlichen Affinität für Deutschland, das Land meiner Vorfahren, ausgewandert in die Vereinigten Staaten vor geraumer Zeit. Bitte, wir wollen zusammenarbeiten, Deutschland.
Thanks to germany and her voluteers to help Canada.
VERY dissapointing to hear they collapsed under the fold of an oppressor. Doesn't germany have a history of not listening to other european countries? WHY in the heck would germany back france...ever? blows my mind.
voted
eCanadian here. I would still defend Germany at this very second if they were under attack. We do not harbor ill feelings at all towards your nation.
Hmmmmmm, this seems familiar to me... *cough*nineteen*cough*... *cough*thirty*cough*... *cough*three*cough*.... 😕
Wie schade, dass das Amt eDeutschlands nicht mit eKanada ein Bündnis schließt ab als mit PEACE/eFrance. Meine liebe deutsche Freunde, ich bin ein bisschen traurig, es zu lesen! Ich kann aber verstehen, warum ihr diese Wahl machen werdet. 🙁
Ich hoffe, dass alle Deutschen, die eKanada immer mögen, forsetzen werden, ihre Meinung ihrer Staatsregierung zu sagen. Aber wenn es Demokratie ist ... What a pity that the eGerman administration don't want to create an alliance with eCanada instead of PEACE/eFrance. My dear German friends, i'm quite sad to read that! But I can understand why you'll make that choice. 🙁
I hope that every eGermans who still like eCanada will continue to express their opinions to their government. But if it's democraty ... C'est dommage que l'administration eAllemande ne veuille pas créer d'alliance avec le eCanada plutôt qu'avec la PEACE/eFrance. Mes chers amis eAllemands, je suis plutôt triste de lire ceci, mais je peux comprendre le choix que vous allez faire. 🙁
J'espère que tous les eAllemands qui ont toujours le eCanada a coeur vont continuer d'exprimer leurs opinions à leur gouvernement. Mais si c'est la démocratie ...
people from Quebec, say what you think HERE : http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/survey-for-quebec-sondage-pour-le-quebec-866474/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/surv[..]/1/20
To all eGermans against the governments choice i thank you for your continued support in this our dark hours. Your loyalty is second to none. To those for this choice i will point out one fact, by being FORCED to stop assistence to eCanada you are aidding in making your point all more clear, PEACE stands now for one cause and one cause only and that is the radicalistic conquering of all who think different. They have claimed to be after the USA and yet they continue to assault your most loyal ally and now they have taken away your right and freedom of choice. The choice to fight for Canada. If Canada is not they're target then why take away your right to fight for us?
PEACE = THEY'RE RIGHTS
PEACE = YOU HAVE NO CHOICE
PEACE = RADICALS WITH POWER
Everytime germany tries to be neutral, they get attacked...
Joining the organization that nearly took over all of germany is a phail mistake..
damn, now I have to change my other avatar
Well thanks to those that keep on fighting and are interested in our survival as a nation. For the others, I can't blame you, but it won't change the fact that I feel that this as ended in a sore way, altought predictable.
This Canadian, at least, fully accepts your apology and understands the situation.
As long as you continue to strive for what is right, I will consider Germany an ally despite what the government signed documents may say.
Also. Citizen-X totally stole my avatar!
Since, you know, I made it myself and didn't get it from some public domain on the internet.
*cough*
voted. A sad day for Canada, and Germany. You will be missed.
In times of strife and adversity is when your true friends and allies show themselves. L8r Germany.
you have some pretty sick perverts running your country. I thank your apology. voted.
Sad news.
Russia attacked Alaska, Canada
yesterday
I'm sry but this is all unacceptable like I said in my congress election our allies are becoming our enemy's.
All countries of the world must decide whether they will surrender to PEACE or not. Where the fighting happens to take place is immaterial.
Gentlemen, if we do not hang together, we shall surely hang seperately.
When there is on territory left in the eworld which has not bent its knee to the oppressor, check its citizenship: You'll find me there. What point is there to being a German in name if in practice it means nothing? Likewise Canadian.
PEACE will sweep all ahead of it as long as people choose the easy path.
Talk's cheap.
Canada for ever 🙂
Simontornyai Lackfi Nandor, I thought your lackies at the eUK also fought France, I remember them being very eager to attack.
