Hello, this is my first game on the forum, I have been reading a few others and I am excited to start my own and sign ups for this game are ALWAYS OPEN. Got some the amazing idea from great forum games such as Crisis in the Reichstag.

Rules and Procedure: Everyone will play as their own made up character,they will choose their own background, birth date, political party, etc. They will role play as them in the time of Modern Canadian Politics, so please make your character as realistic as possible in terms of their age, etc. Political parties to join will be posted shortly.

Updating, is going to be easy. I will posted current topics and political agendas to be debated and make laws for in the House of Commons. Polls will be another update, which will show who the Canadian people are feeling on certain subjects and what parties they would vote for. Next, there will be an Election Update which will tell who won the election and so on. You may, with create your own bills as well, as your own political parties, with my approval of coarse. If the government is in a minority government, and the characters are not pleased, with the current government then it will go to a vote of non-confidence which I will post in a update and their will be another election. The Current leader of the government will also choose their own cabinet ministers and Governor General. Bills will also be voted on by your made character. We will be starting from the May 2011 election.

I'll be in the Bloc Quebocis. Now, I know nothing about Canadian policies, so don't be surprised when I am very ignorant.
 
Likewise, I'm interested, but know zip about Canadian politics. It's basically like American politics, no? You manufacture scandals on your allied cable news network, sabotage everything everyone does, and attack your opponant for holding positions you held last election. Easy.

I'll be in, likely as a Green Party MP from British Columbia (or somewhere thereabouts). Pacific northwest greens are something I'm fairly familiar with.
 
Okay just create your characters, and its okay if you don't know much about Canadian politics I will help along the way. Anyway you cannot be PM just yet an election will be held soon, in which you can run for Prime Minister.

The first part is reserved for the Conservative party as of late, while others did it in the past. Sadly, Canadians used to go against parties that did this, but recently the Conservative party has been getting away with it.
 
I'm Natalia Suttinger of Victoria, BC. Loosely based on the real life green party mp from there. Except Natalia will, of course, be played by Summer Glau.

LOL.

My bio will come later. Short on tume as of now.
 
Name: Stephen Carter - Conservative
Economist from Calgary, Alberta. Former leader of the Canadian Alliance. Now a leading member of the Conservative Party after the merger of the Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives. Stephen is the leader of the Conservative Party and hopes to lead the Conservatives to a majority in the upcoming elections.
 
Imaginary Wiki Entry

Natalia Suttinger
summer-glau1.jpg

Natalia Marie Suttinger (b. December 3rd 1982) is a Canadian ballerina, actress and politician. She is currently the MP for Saaniich-Gulf Islands in British Columbia as a member of the Green Party.

Natalia Suttinger was a promising young ballerina in the Vancouver area until an akle injury caused her to change careers to acting at age 17. Her acting career included recurring roles in several basic cable science fiction programs. In 2006 she became involved in the BC Green Party during protests against a planned major hotel development near her home on Saturna Island. Despite her comparative youth and inexperience, she upset a more established liberal party candidate. Despite a reputation as a celebrity diletante, Suttinger has shown a broad understanding of a range of core green party issues, but is nationally still better known as a telepathic ninja or killer robot from TV than as a serious politician.
 
Copule of questions:
In Canada, what ministry would be in charge of enviornmental regulations?
In Canada, are corporations people? Or are only people people?
Are the number of seats in parliment going to represent the number of players in the party, or the party's overall strength? Cause if we got one more Green player, we'd have double the seats of the Greens IRL.

Canadian politics is not really anything like US politics. It is far more substantive and focused on issues with a lot less hyperbolic rhetoric. The electorate is also much more informed than the US electorate. Cable TV does not play much of a role though the CBC does what it can to smear the Conservatives.

And Bell favours the Conservatives so much it's illegal.
 
1. The Ministry of the Environment does, but I haven't add them as a playable position so you would have to discuss it with the new Prime Minister and their platform.

2. What do you mean by that? Corporations are made of people.

3. It'll go to the parties' overall strength really, because I don't think we'll have around 154 people in a certain party in this forum to make a majority government.
 
He means, can corporations make campaign donations and have rights and such?
 
NikoHoI3 said:
Yes they can. They do all the time especially the oil companies they always give money and lobby the Conservative party.

In the US, according to our supreme court, corporations themselves are legally people. Thus they have all the rights associated with citizenship. And since according to our supreme court, money = speech, that means corporations have freedom to shovel as much money as they like into politics.

Can I be Governor-General? Would you be appointing the Gov-Gen since you are the Queen :p (A.K.A the GM) Niko?
Click to expand...

Well, Governor-Generals are formally appointed by the Queen, but are chosen by the Prime Minister so in the game after elections the PM will choose his or her cabinet which will also include the Governor-General. Than I being the Queen :p will say I approve or disapprove of this choosing of Governor-General.


To Deaghiaigh: It's hard because in Canada in some aspects we do but others we don't so its hard to say.
