[War] Canada: Our Message

[Dylan de Valk]

"Our Message"
August.4/2014
PM James McColl
Canada

-------------------

Ottawa had been watching the world reaction for a couple of days since the
incident.  Now, they decided, was the time to issue their own statement.
McColl was scheduled for a press conference in the mid afternoon.

6pm EST

CBC News

Peter Mansbridge, the news anchor, doing the news cast this night.

"And welcome everybody.  Tonight, in just a moment, we will be broadcasting
live from Parliament Hill in Ottawa Prime Minister McColl's statement on the
recent world events.  We have Keith Boag in Ottawa tonight to evaluate the
situation.  Keith?"

The screen switched to Boag's round face with the Peace Tower in the
background.  Thanks, Peter.  This is a long anticipated, possibly overdue
statement from our leader today about the recent jailbreak in China.  Many
are anxiously awaiting whether he will take a conciliatory tone or a
hardline stance.  Here he is, ascending the podium."

The screen switched to McColl's face, as he started his statement.

After the beginning pleasantries he got down to the point.

"The incident in China, and the Chinese reaction, are of course
regrettable.  Canada has, for many years now, tried to negotiate the release
of our captive citizens in China to no avail.  We felt the time had come to
take a new course of action.  No innocent citizen from any country should
have to endure prison for no reason.

I offer not only my own personal condolences and apology to those who lost
loved ones, Chinese or Canadian, but also all of Canada's condolences.

I also offer my personal condolences to the Chinese President for the loss
of her husband.  No matter whether tensions may be high or not, No one
should have to lose a loved one in that manner." McColl paused, took a sip
of water, and then continued.

The expedition was not intended to injure or hurt anyone.  It was intended
to rescue our unfairly held citizens and bring them home safely.  This was
NOT intended as an act of war, as the Chinese seem to think it is.

However, seeing that China has, in recent light, confiscated all Canadian
assets in China and closed our diplomatic channels, we feel compelled to do
the same.  All Chinese citizens in Canada will be given 24 hours to vacate
our country.  Any communication between this government and the Chinese
government will take place through the American consulate in Shanghai.

All Chinese economic assets will be confiscated immediately and the money
used for the betterment of Canada.  The same as China has done, we will do,
all liquid assets to dissipated into government coffers, and all hard assets
to nationalized and sold off.  Earnings will be used to fund mass transit
initiatives in cities throughout the country.  No new Chinese citizens will
be allowed into Canada until further notice, and our government will give
all Chinese in Canada any help, whether financial or other, to help them get
out of the country.

Canada can not, of course, pay such exorbitant amounts to China, and will
refuse to undertake any payments unilaterally declared against us.  If China
does not want American financial aid for the victims, then we will not
contribute anything.

Canada does not accept Chinese allegations that this action was state
sponsored terrorism.

All Canadians in China will come home immediately, and as per Chinese
orders, and Canadian diplomatic staff will close shop and return home
immediately.

The Canadian Forces will be elevated to DEFCON 3, and all ports of entry
into the country will be under extreme surveillance by CSIS and the RCMP.

As to the Chinese actions in the United Nations, Canada will, as a security
council member, vote against any resolutions aimed at us, or our allies.

Long live the Maple Leaf!"

With the end of the speech, the Prime Minister quickly left the state
without answering questions from the media and the screen went back to
Mansbridge and Boag.

----------------------

Actions:
1] Tit-for-tat.  All the actions the Chinese did to lockdown their country
and remove Canadian assets will be taken in Canada as well to the
appropriate parties.
2] Ball is in China's court now
3] Adopt a "wait and see what they do now" attitude
4] Support allies in the UN
