Visual Arts
	Poster Designs I am looking for a large number of high quality posters, of all types and designs. These posters must be artistic in style and provoke relevant imagery that can be used for propaganda posters. These posters will play a major role in the propagation of the annexation movement. There is a pressing need for them. You need not worry about the message they will contain, but submitting numerous templates would be most useful. Artistic Renditions of Expanded USA Submit as many unique images of Canada and the USA as one country, this will be used in publications, essays, etc. Whether it be a painting of the country, a photoshop of North America high-lighting our 2 countries as one, or any other stylish idea you can come up with, if you have a knack for visual arts, your help is most welcomed. Pamphlet Cover Designs Pamphlets are those small guides that can be easily printed and distributed. Again as artists, think visually, and anything you can design that relates to the general theme of Annexation.ca can become very useful when designing said pamphlets. Annexation Logo Designs New logo designs, for the movement in general, and for the future united country, logos of all types that can be used to provide readers with a sense of symbolic vivacity, submit them if you have the inspiration to design them.

Writing & Redaction
	Essays on Political Principles I need powerful writers who can convey the principles and ideals of limited government in the context of initiating newcomers to the subject and refreshing the minds of those who are already versed in them. Different essays can be done, but the main themes are listed on this page. Essays on Annexation Slogans If you have new ideas for new slogans, or if you think you have the talent needed to redact inspiring essays that can help convince Canadians and Americans that an annexation is a desirable proposition, then consider submitting your work! If your essay(s) are selected, your name will be listed alongside the essay and your work will be integrated into this website. Essays on Bilateral Integration Subject matter experts of different fields who support the idea of a democratic annexation of Canada to the USA can render a valuable service by sharing their expertise and composite vision of how different aspects of our countries can be integrated over time, by providing examples of ways to manage these harmonization and integration efforts in a spirit of "least friction, least effort" approach. The topics to be discussed and expanded upon consist of the following and the vast array of other fields that can be thought of: Police Force Integration Military Force Integration Native American Nation Integration Road Network Integration Foreign Policy Integration Telecommunications Harmonization Etc. Letters to the Peoples of North America In the spirit of the founding fathers, a series of letters will be composed and addressed directly to our peoples, in an address to them directly. Many letters will be composed over time. Annexation.ca is looking for talented and motivated writers to participate in the redaction of such letters, in accordance with the style of the classical letters that were redacted all those years ago. A letter is to be addressed to each of the following groups: Letter to the Inhabitants of Canada Letter to the Inhabitants of the United States of America Letter to the Native American Nations of Canada and the USA Lettre aux habitants de la province du Québec Letter to the Immigrant Communities of Canada and the United States Letter to the Peoples of the World

Video Production
	Video Production Annexation.ca is looking for talented producers to help conceive and design promotional videos that will assist this movement in gaining visibility on www.youtube.com as well as for the design of high-quality commercials that would be intended for the mainstream television. If you have skills and knowledge of video production and would like to lend a helping hand, it is very welcomed. Live Recordings The need will arise for proper camera services when conducting interviews or informative documentaries on the topic. While geographic distance may prohibit certain synergies from being effectively realized, there are numerous opportunities for talented camera specialists and video producers to assist this movement on a standby basis, simply by letting me know that you are able and willing to assist if the need ever arises.

Sound & Music
	Instrumental Music I am in great need of instrumental music to help provide a more engaging mood and atmosphere for this website. Instrumental music can also be of excellent use to assist in the design of promotional videos. This movement needs a theme song, and needs a musical inspiration. If you have the talent to create genuinely unique works, and happen to be supportive of the annexation idea, your contribution could play a significant role in setting the tone for the success or failure of this endeavour. Sound Engineering Over the course of this project, many interviews will be conducted with different actors of both our countries, in relation to the theme of an annexation. These interviews will be made available on this website. There is a need for the help of sound editing specialists to take care of the reformatting and filtering aspects, to help give these interviews a professional sound and feel. Technical assistance in this domain is most welcomed. Musical Songs Many artists exist out there of incredibly diverse musical styles and backgrounds. From dance to rap to punk to funk to whatever else exists out there, you and your band can help us out. You can help out by dedicating a song to this idea, and doing your part by bringing your fan base to consider this proposition. It doesn't have to be serious or researched: it simply has to be a continuity of who you really genuinely are musically speaking. You can instil great energy in the movement through spontaneous musical creations, and your assistance would really go a long way in making this website and the movement as a whole, a more entertaining and attractive experience.

Legal Help
	Legal Advice If you are a legal expert who is both sympathetic to this movement and aware of certain legal opportunities or challenges which you believe I should be aware in order to maximize the fulfillment of potentialities in the course of this project, I certainly welcome your advice and observations. I lack any knowledge about both bureaucratic and legal frameworks and would certainly benefit from the insights and recommendations of informed individuals. Legal Assistance If you are a specialized lawyer and would like to provide this cause with legal assistance and support, please notify me so that if a challenging situation occurs, the movement will be able to benefit from your help and I will be eternally grateful for it because it would be needlessly tragic, un-Canadian and un-American to be caught flat-footed because of some legal/bureaucratic hurdle that might jeopardize an otherwise excellent proposal aiming to conjugate our peoples democratically.
