Troops Moving To Defend Eastern Border

Troops from the Ontarian Front are moving to defend the eastern borders. The sudden build-up of Dysanii troops on the border has worried the General Staff. Field Marshal Worthington has moved an unknown number of troops north to the border. The number can't be too large because the main army is still on the Canadian-American border. But the General Staff say it is suffienct right now. They feel that Dysanii will not attack just yet, but they are taking no chances. The First Fleet as well as the Quebecois Fleet are moving along the coast to defend the shores from the less powerful Dysanii Navy. Rumors of the High Seas Fleet moving into the area as soon as Vancouver is back in Canadian hands in imminent. The Canadian Militia is also moving in to bolster the ranks on the border. They are being mixed with regulars with battle experience to increase their performance, which is apperatly working. These soldiers are ready to defend the nation again.

A War Monument Has Been Erected Outside of Queenston, Honors Both American and Canadian Soldiers, As Well As Allies



This statue was erected today outside of Queenston where the war on the Ontarian Front ended. This monument is double-bladed sword. One, it honors the soldiers of the Democratic States of America, the Greater Canadian Empire, the Empire of Inglo-Scotia, the People's Republic of Loyan, and the Enlightened Empire of Feneixia. Two, it is a symbol of Canadian independence and courage against nations that wish to swallow up the Empire. Since Lord Protector Rommel is at a peace conference in Beaconsfield, Field Marshal Worthington represented the Lord Protector at the unveiling of the statue and Lord Protector Rommel's daughter, Lily Rommel christened it. From the bottom of the hill to the flag, flags of all the nations involved in the Second American-Canadian War are flown at half-mast. The statue was dubbed Mother Canada.

The First Shot Has Been Fired

The Great Border War has finally been launched. There was no great Canadian counter-attack against the massive Dysaniian armies, but instead the smaller Canadian forces are using trench warfare and winter warfare to beat down their enemy. Stormtroopers now defend the streach of land between the border and the intricate network of trenches that are being manned by other Canadian troops. According to reports, the Dysaniian tanks and other mechanized forces are freezing up and are being bogged down in the deep snow. The lighter Canadian soldiers are picking off Dysaniians whereever they are. The enemy wasn't prepared for these kind of war and the Canadian army has taken advantage of that. The hit and run tactics are not meant to stop them, but it means they will be hurt when they arrive at the fully prepared Canadian trenches. Our prayers go out to our soldiers and their families.

Blockade Of Dysaniian Coast

Inglish and Canadian vessels have blockaded the Dysaniian coast in an attempt to starve the nation out thus ending the war. The government has also issued an order to all neval vessels. Any Dysaniian vessel, military or not, caught at sea will be fired upon and sunk. Already, Dysaniian shipping lanes are being patroled by Canadian submarines. The Navy is hoping to force Dysanii to terms, but many foresee them refusing. To other news, word has come that the Dysaniian military are using Canadian civilians in forced work camps. Recon planes show pictures of evidence that the Dysaniians are slowly killing Canadian nationals in an attempt to wipe out the population so that the areas that the Dysaniian want should they win the war will be cleansed of Canadians. Field Marshal Worthington has declared this an act of cowardice and will punish the Dysaniians for this. With the blockade and the work camps, this war has escalated. So far, the People's Republic of Loyan, the Libertarian Empire of Myroria, and the Empire of Inglo-Scotia have declared war on the Parliamentary Republic of Dysanii. With PI now mobilizing, the Canadian people see a chance for survival.

ROMMEL IS BACK


(Supreme Commander Rommel looking at maps of the war and preparing his plans for action.)

The legendary Field Marshal, turned Lord Protector of the Realm, Xavier Rommel has hung up his civilian title and has returned to military service as Supreme Commander of the Canadian Armed Forces. Everyone remebers Rommel has the man who held off the RLF during the Civil War and put down the Nationalist Uprising. Xavier Rommel had retired from military service only six years ago and became Lord Protector of the Realm, the highest civilian position in the country. Now after Parliament voted for both Xavier and the Empress be rewarded emergency powers, Rommel took it upon himself to lead the armies once again. He had this to say. "I am a military man, and even though I am totally confidant in the General Staff's leadership in this war, there is no reason why I shouldn't help defend this nation. I am taking up the position of Supreme Commander in the hopes that the everyday civilian follows my example. Alia and the Advisory Council will continue the problems of state while I deal with the invading Dysaniians. I swear as Supreme Commander of the Canadian Armed Forces, I will not fail this nation and i hope those under me will take the same oath. I will not let Greater Canada fall." The speech was rewarded by cheers and approvals from all over the nation. Recruitment has increased as men and women are taking up the mantle. Factories have been moved out to Central Canada and those too young, too old, or too sick to fight are taking up those spots. Also there has been an increase of women taking up roles in the factories as their husbands go off to war. We will continue to report on the war, but for this time we wish to say that we need to all understand that this is a war for the survival of our nation and we need to fight to the end.

Stalemate At Hamilton and Kingston

The war against Dysanii has finally stalled at the cities of Hamilton and Kingston. The quick and powerful advances made by the Dysaniians have made it to these two cities, but the Canadian defenders are currently fighting tooth and nail to stop their advance, which they have. Hamilton is currently a melting pot of destruction. The Canadian forces are holding the enemy off and the intense stree-to-street fighting has resulted on large amounts of casualties on the Dysaniian army. As for Kingston, the same is happening. These two cities are important because if Kingston falls, then the war is taken to the capital of Ottawa, and if Hamilton falls, Montreal is Dysanii's next target. So the only thing that we the people can do is wait and watch. These battles will decide the fate of our nation and whether or not we will emerge victorious. Volunteering into the armed forces has increased, but the government believes that it is not enough. Regent Selene is thinking of enacting consrciption to further fill the ranks and win at this war of attrition.

New Heavy Tank Being Pushed Into Service

The factories and the Military Department of Research and Devolopment have created a new weapon to be thrown at the Dysaniian Army. While the Dysaniian tanks are an even match with the Canadian Leopard IIs and Leopard Is, the Department thought that they needed a heavy tank that could help the Leopards crush the Dysaniians. Rommel had used the prototypes in his secret exercises and he had nothing but good things to say about the new tank. This new tank, dubbed the Tiger I heavy tank is made of titanium alloy from the Republic of Loyan, thus making able to reach it's specified speed, but giving the protection that it needs. The Tiger can travel at 50 km/h making it somwhat able to keep up with it's smaller counterparts. But the most noticable feature of the Tiger tank is it's 152mm barrel. These guns are the most powerful ever devoloped so far on a tank. The Tiger tank has been dubbed the most powerful tank on the American continent, if not the world. The General Staff has hoped that these tanks will push the war more and more to our favor. A few tank regiments have been created and are being sent to the Hamilton and Kingston fronts to break the stalemate. Future regiments are being assigned to Rommel. This tank will be a new symbol of Canadian power on the continent, just as the Artorion supercarrier and the Ontario battleship is a Canadian naval symbol.

Constitutional Amendment Passed In Parliament Today

The nation was saddened by the loss of Emperor Paul to an assassin's bullet. Imperial Regent Selene and widow of Emperor Paul, proposed a constitutional amendment that in the event of the death of Alia, there would be a line of succession so that the Imperial House would never fail. The amendment pass almost unanimously. The line of succession is still not finsihed, but many houses have been added so far. The Artorion family, which is the current ruling family has only three members: Empress Alia, Imperial Regent Selene and Crown Princess Jordan. Alia's aunt, Jordan, who is the Empress of Christstan is also current Crown Princess of Greater Canada. Through Empress Jordan, the next house that will rule in the event of the Artorion extinction, would be the von Weiger Imperial family of Christstan. They are one of three families with Artorion blood. The line will go through the entire von Weiger family. If the von Wieger family becomes extinct in Christstan, the next closest house is the Tar-Ilium family of Myroria. Empures Anna of Myroria is the daughter of Emperor von Weiger. In the event of Myrorian extinction, the next family would be the Inglish Imperial Family. They are where the Artorion branches off, but they are no longer closest in blood to the Canadian family which is why they are the fourth family to recieve the crown. Also, the succession of this family to the Canadian throne was conversational, becasue the Inglish were once rulers of Canada and few people wish to see an Inglish emperor on the Canadian throne. After the Inglish, the next in line is Imperial Regent Selene and her newly created House of Shanya. Though she is the mother of Alia, she is not of Artorion blood. If she dies, then the throne passes to her mother in Feneixia, Lady Shanya. After her is Selene's father. then in the event of Shanya extinction, the crown passes to the Imperial House of Feneixia. Though the family is not of Artorion blood, they are in the line because they are the godparents of Alia. If it wasn't for the proposed marriage between Selene and Paul by the Feneixian family, then the line would have died with Paul and the von Weigers would be ruling right now. So Parliament gave them a place in the succesion paper. After the Feneixians, no other others were added.

The line of succesion paper so far.

Emperor Heindrick Abdicates, Son Takes Over, Empress Alia To Go To Christstan

Ever since the Christstani Crown Prince married Canadian princess Jordan, the Christstani Empire has been one of Canada's closest allies and friends. Empress Alia has gotten word that Heindrick von Weiger, Emperor of Christstan has abdicated. His son Frederick has taken up the throne with his wife, Princess Jordan. Alia has annouced that she will attend the coronation of her uncle and aunt. The Christani nation has done more for Canada then they may believe. Just after the Second American-Canadian War, Lord Protector Rommel and the General Staff began a program to push the Canadian military away from the Inglish model and soon was able to model it after that of Christstan. They were impressed with Christstan soldiers in the war. Critics and the General Staff joke that the two militaries look so like each other now, the only real difference is the blue-grey color of the Canadian uniform and the Canadian maple leaf symbol. Well, a new generation has taken the reins of the state and Empress Alia is going to visit. As the war continues in Canada between the Canadians and the Dysaniians, Alia has been rumored to also to be asking for Christstani aid. The Canadian monarch will finally make her first state visit as Empress of Canada. But as for the general public, Canada is saddened to see such a powerful figure as Emperor Heindrick to leave the throne, but can't wait to see his son etch his greatness into stone.

The Feneixian Empire Has Declared War

Nathaniel Cordre, Emperor of Feneixia and godfather of Empress Alia, has informed the Dysaniian government that Feneixia is now at war with them. With the Canadian-Dysaniian War and the Third War Between the States raging on the continent, PI has been streched thin. The Inglish and Myrorians are aiding the Confederates in the south, while leaving Greater Canada to fight on it's own. Aid came from an unsuspected source. New Delfos, Validus, and Varkour had declared war on Dysanii and are currently fighting a war on the Dysaniian coast. But then Feneixia, one of Greater Canada's closest allies, has declared war. While Empress Alia is in Christstan trying to win Christstani aid, the Feneixians are now preparing to aid the Canadian Army in what is the Western Front. The Canadians will no longer stand alone in this theater of war. With fresh Feneixian soldiers, the Canadians should be able to turn the tide in favor of the Allied armies.

All Cities Have Been Put on Full Alert

Due to the recent threat of the use of biological weapons on Canadian civilians, the government has ordered that the cities prepare for these attacks. Special anti-biological teams were sent to the various cities to protect the people. Cautious procedures have been ordered for all civilians to follow, such as wearing gas masks. Antigens are being sent to these areas in case of a chemical attack. Some people have expressed there concern that perhaps the Canadian government should sue for peace, but the Canadian government has refused stating that no matter what happens, we will always have a dangorous neighbor. Much must be risked in war. The Canadian people are currently going through chemical warfare exercises so that everyone knows what to do in the event of such an attack. The Imperial Regent, Parliament, the General Staff and other government officals have been moved to secret safehouses. Safehouses have been erected all over the country to help protect the civilian population in case of an attack. So far, there has been no attack, but no one believes that the Dysaniians are bluffing.
