Canuckistan: State of The Union.

The breakaway republic that is Canuckistan is in trouble. Since gaining independence earlier this year, there have been many up's and down's. In the beginning, it was celebrating independence with absolute joy, and everything was great. Now, Canuckistan has fallen into tough times. It's economy is currently the second worst in the world (after the United States), and tough decisions need to be made.

Canuckistan currently has a treaty in place which needs to be honoured. This treaty secures (or leases if you prefer?) land, and this treaty is fundamental to Canuckistan's survival as a nation. This treaty will be expiring in late April, 2010.

The tough decision which I have had to make is to not renew this treaty. Canuckistan will be rejoining with the Motherland. This is not an admission of failure, but an admission that Canuckistan had rushed into things. Put simply, it was not ready. It sought out the glory, but Canuckistan was not built on a foundation of financial security.

As leader of this nation, it was a very humbling experience to admit I could have done things better. Canuckistan is very grateful that the Motherland understands, and wants to help.

Canuckistan will regain it's independence, but knows it may take a year or two to be where it needs to be. Canuckistan will be reborn, and it will be better and stronger. I am looking forward to those times, and the end goal will be the motivation for all of the tough times and hard work which is needed.



... I am not talking about a country, or this blog. I am talking about myself. To free myself of the financial struggles of the past few months, there is only one solution. I will be moving back with my parents for a year or two, to get my finances in order - The goal is to be debt free.

This is the hardest, and most embarrassing thing I've had to do. All of the feelings of failure, and working my arse off will be worth it.

This is something which I will not enjoy, but it is something which must be done. It is a shame the financial revolution wont begin until April. It may seem strange that I'm sharing this with you all, but I feel I needed to say it in order for me to accept it, and move forward.

CANUCKISTAN WILL BE BACK, BETTER THAN EVER. THAT IS MY PROMISE.
