let me just cast my vote in case I forget later
I'll alter my vote when/if an opponent with a better resume that bballin arrives =)

@Everyone

Im pretty sure alloa90 has ran in every election since I joined, but this is his first speech that I remember. At least he is improving!

@GM-beanerz

Also just to point out it is Canada. Not The Canada, were are not some freaky republic

To be honest this is the first time I have heard anyone say "The Canada" and I did not even catch it until you pointed it out. It is weird to say *says it out loud to self looking like a freak*. I do not like the way it sounds at all :P

Can someone start a thread which links the page where we vote? Every year I'm searching for this page and I must not be alone.

I hope that I registered properly to run Canada's U21 team.
I have been a better teacher than player so far though I have somehow managed to reach Div II.
I have been a help to several managers at different levels,
even helped one in his early stages before he reached Nasimith.
Made some early mistakes in training in not hanging on to some great Canadian talent
but I have proven my worth with import youngsters and that would help in the long run.
My blossoming boys from Germany (17898554) , Portugal (16769645) and Serbia (19719657) will be invaluable in helping me get into the heads of the European mindset.
These are full skilled kids, salaries not telling the whole tale of their talents.
I'm a numbers guy, always have been, keep detailed charts on everything.
I've even got the brightest 9 year old by my side to assist though he has had many a tough finish as he tries to promote from Div III (33615)
With his help, your help and your vote, I think we can point Canada in the right direction and on the way to glory.

Cue Oh Canada!!

This should be in the speech thread not the debate thread.

@All other competitors

Have any of you posted in the offsite forum? Or even signed up? Have you done anything to contribute to Canadas U21 or NT? I mean no disrespect, but none of you have put in the effort in the past to help out Canadas national teams, so why should Canadians vote for you?

http://w11.zetaboards.com/BB_Canada/index/

I suggest you sign up and then BBmail GM-beanerz or myself so we can approve of your accounts on the offsite. Then on the offsite forum you can contribute to scouting and to tactic discussions.

True that, mod. It's kind of dumb coming out of nowhere, not even contributing to Canada but expecting votes. Like GM-Beanerz said, my vote goes to Mod-Bbalin until someone does enough to change my mind.

I noticed that there has not been much activity in this debate, so I'm going to bring up some questions I'd like all the participants to answer. Please put the same amount of time and thought answering these questions as I did creating them ;)

1. Some users are allergic to the syrup that comes from the maple leaf on your flag that comes from a maple tree. To those users, having a maple leaf on the flag is rude and offensive and can be considered a hate crime. What are your plans for potentially changing the Canadian flag, and making it something less offensive?

2. What energy drink will be the official drink of the team? Last season you guys went with Powerade which was a complete joke since it is just a complete copy of Gatorade, which was your team energy drink the season before. Like we haven't seen that one before! I advise trying something new, like these Bob Marley drinks I heard about http://www.fdin.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Pictu.... My friend told me they made him fly, which will be good for those short guards on the team who have trouble dunking. Or perhaps you should go throwback and just drink water? I'm interested to hear your opinions on this controversial topic.

3. Lastly, how are you going to handle this whole divorce thing between Philip Collin (20813522) and Kim Kardashian? (yes while you were reading this they managed to marry, make millions of dollars, and get divorced in the matter of seconds). The media will most likely not leave Collin alone, and I am interested to hear how you think he will react to this tragic breakup after being with Kim for 10 whole seconds (a guinness book record), and what you are going to do to help him perform without distraction.

Thank you you very much, and good luck to all the candidates :D

No that's not dumb.
Dumb is calling someone dumb who's not aware of the proper procedures but just wants to help out.
DUmb is talking loudly after 1 full season in BB.
I can't see where you've actually trained a single player
You can remove my name from consideration
I was under the impression that Bballin was too busy.
If he's doing it, I don't want to.
best of luck
won't ask again

I'm also removing my name from the election.
I just wanted to bring something new to the team. I signed in the offsite forum 2-3months ago but never participated, I'm more an observer than a talker, others are way better than me when it comes to talk loud. I'm just from the patient and very technical kind that takes every input from everyone then makes (hopefully good) decisions after that.

Good luck Bballin, I hope you'll manage to make that team better, I'll keep watching in the dark
