&&BRIEF
"Ontario and Quebec have the largest Industrial capacity, but lack Raw Material production.  The other regions have less Industrial capacity, but have surplus of the resource commodities.  From a military standpoint, the regions are equivalent and it would take a tremendous buildup to threaten the entire area."

&&NOTES
"2007 - The Movement for an Independent Quebec once again gathered steam in Canada and culminated with a successful referendum (69% of the popular vote) on February 6th, 2008.  After the 2008 referendum, one issue began to dominate national sentiment - a growing support for the Cree Nations of Northern Quebec to secede from the newly independent Quebec and rejoin Canada.  The Quebec Militia was ordered to secure their borders with Canada and to occupy this northern Ungava Territory.  Cree warriors went underground before they could be arrested and began commando style hit and run raids on the Quebec Militia.  As well, English Canadian Soldiers were airlifted to Ungava to support the Cree.  Quebec was forced to abandon the region and thus the Republic of Quebec and the Canadian Territory of Ungava were formed - forged in blood. ¶¶Within two months of the Quebec issue finally being resolved, Ontario declared itself no longer a Province of Canada, but an Independent State. British Columbia soon followed suit - surprising many by joining with Alaska to create the Pacific Northwest Coalition.  Alberta, the Prairies and Maritimes had no other option but to try and stand on their own with Ungava allying itself with the Maritimes while the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut joined the Alberta Coalition. ¶¶The World Market sees Canada as a key symbol to the reunification of countries.  If the Country can be re-united, the symbolism of Canada's re-birth would likely influence other Western Democracies to follow suit.  Canada's role on the World Stage could not have bigger potential..."

&&EMAIL 00

&&EMAIL 01 - Ontario
"Of all the regions, we are in good standing to win the reunification vote.  Ensuring that the vote happens without incident should be our key objective.  Improving our domestic approval rating and forming some alliances will improve our standings in the polls and position us for victory. ¶¶Our key concern will be other regions attacking their neighbors out of desperation to delay the vote and build their population and power base.  Quebec and the Prairies have both indicated the greatest resentment towards the concept of reunification, so if conflict does occur, one of them will likely be the instigator.  Creating alliances with the Maritimes or the Pacific Region should reduce the possibility of war.  In the mean time we should pursue efforts to reduce our raw material requirements through improved technologies."

&&EMAIL 02 - Québec
"Our new independence is being threatened by this reunification vote.  However there are possibilities... Our large population does give us a good electoral base, but it will not be enough to achieve victory unless we can gain support from other areas.  This could be found through key alliances or more likely from dissatisfaction in other regions.  Perhaps we should see what we can do to undermine our neighbors... ¶¶We also need to address some concerns with our economic situation - particularly our dependence on petroleum imports.  You should definitely pursue technological advancements and the use of alternative energy sources to reduce our petroleum demand. ¶¶Finally we should consider increased funding to our military.  The election is only one possible path to victory and we need to ensure that an ambitious neighbor doesn't victimize us.  With this in mind, we need to build up our defenses along our borders and possibly improve our military manufacturing capabilities."

&&EMAIL 03 - Prairies 
"The larger regions of Ontario or Quebec will likely win if the vote is allowed to pass without incident.  However our regional business leaders and workers are surprisingly supportive of a different resolution. One recent headline summarized this idea: Our raw materials must not be controlled by an Ontario or Quebec government. We cannot finance another 'Ottawa'!  Our new course of action is clear:  increase our industrial production and focus on a secretive buildup of military forces. ¶¶Our military analysts believe that once we have acquired a significant force, our first strike should be to the West.  We should have a good tactical advantage and we have better logistic support in that direction.  It should not take much to ensure our border integrity in the East since Ontario's supply lines would be too stretched to support any prolonged action.  Creating alliances with either Quebec or the Maritimes and encouraging them towards military action may also help us achieve our goals."
 
&&EMAIL 04 - West Coast
"Recent rumblings indicate the Prairies are not willing to sit by and allow the vote to go forward.  We should maintain a constant watch on their actions.  A mutual defense treaty with Ontario would be good preventive medicine.  The Prairies would not likely risk a battle on two fronts.  You should do your best to secure this alliance immediately.  Since we cannot possibly defend our entire border we should instead place ample defenses in our cities, and around our industries and military facilities.  ¶¶As far as the election campaign goes, our economy is in reasonably good shape and our Domestic Approval Rating is not too bad.  Obviously the population base gives Ontario the biggest edge heading into the campaign but that does not ensure their victory.  Further improving our economy and our social structure could offset that advantage."

&&EMAIL 05 - Maritimes
"We must try and stay out of any regional conflicts. Our best course of action heading towards the election is to invest in social programs and improve our own Domestic Approval Rating.  Although the population advantage enjoyed by the other regions makes us an underdog, stranger things have happened in Canadian politics.  Voters in Ontario and in the Pacific regions will be likely to vote for the strongest leader while Quebec and Prairie voters will be more likely to vote along regional lines. ¶¶As to our current military strength: some additional defensive build up would not be a bad idea - just in case.  Our navy is reasonably strong and could provide strategic control of the St. Lawrence Seaway if required."

&&DESIGNERNOTES
"MILITARY DIFFICULTY : Easy - Moderate¶ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY : Moderate¶SCENARIO LENGTH : Moderate - Long¶¶This scenario can be played to show the importance of either diplomacy or military tactics.  If you are able to make friends with your neighboring regions, you will be able to concentrate on the economics of your region and on increasing your Domestic Approval Rating - giving you an excellent chance to win the reunification vote.  If your diplomatic efforts are hitting a stone wall though, then a surprise invasion could catch other leaders off guard.¶¶The Prairies, with their petroleum reserves, has arguably the strongest economy in this scenario, but through careful management, any of the other regions can also achieve a very strong economy.¶¶Scenario Editor : David Thompson"
