If a Canadian official is approached by the Marinkuren for comment, he will point out that as Canada was not legally a participant in the Cleito treaty, there is no way for her to make an 'illegal exit', and regrets that Nordmark and Germany are deterimined to address the issue in that manner. Canada also once again points out that they attempted to address these issues diplomaticly at Cowes, but were met with stonewalling from certain agressive parties.

Canada once again offers to discuss any specific issues with governments that have concerns over Canada's current status, and is dismayed that certain countries have decided to enact reactionary measures designed to harm Canada's economy, instead.

Good thing no one signed in 1929. Otherwise it would indeed have been an illegal exit. ^_^

Aggressive parties... I assume you are referring to... (going down the voting list) India, Nordmark, Italy, Netherlands, Philippines and South Africa.
NARC was all in favor. FAR was all in favor, Majority of AANM was against (Iberia in favor), majority of SATSUMA was against (Japan in favor).
Uh-oh! Shouldn't have mentioned any names :-)

Assume all you want, but we know that that makes U and Me.

I phrased it hat way to avoid mentioning names IC. However, on an OOC note, 'aggressive parties' is referring to the ones operating unmarked carriers on the wrong side of the Pacific, and coming to Cowes with the intention of stonewalling the proceedings (:

... with an IC flavour
Now you have hurt our feelings! Japan thought it would be a great step to vote in favor of Canada's point 6. A special message was sent to the Shogun on this matter and she approved of that proposal. It's not our fault that there are others around who do not wish to see Canada at those limits.
T_T <= elephant tears :-)

BTW, It's a free Wesworld. You're on our side of the Pacific, we're on yours. ^_^

OOC:
Yes, yes, we've all noticed Japan's tendancy for waiting to vote until after an issue is already decided...

On that note, I think it'd take a lot of fun out of Walter's voting methods if we started using closed ballots (ie, not knowing how the votes went until all votes are in)....
:o

-ducks from the rioting japanese delegates-

See - there is a reason the SAE hasn´t voted yet and watches the fireworks from the sidelines. ;o)

They'll hurl a PM to you. :-)

I'd find it ironic if Japan and Canada became allies over all these problems.

And Canada or Japan only has one PM at a time to hurl.

Acctually I think Japan is just sour it didn't find this type of loophole to pull out of the treaty themselves, and afterall they did do very little to aleiviate canadiabn concerns which leaves us were we are now.

Cest la Vie!
