Vampires, Werewolves, and Shapeshifters, Oh My!
All across the globe, each culture has its own version of creaures of the arcane,
but none were believed to actually exist. That is until yesterday, when members of
certain abnormal species outted themselves, with the 'vampires' claiming that,
"It is time for us, all sentients on Earth to coexist in full light of each other."
So far, this new has been met with widespread protests around the world, mainly by
religious groups claiming that these masters of the arcane are evil and demonic.
| Dessler and Anders Win Election!
In last week's presidential election, Michaëlle Dessler and Samuel Anders
were the victors. Dessler the President-Elect, and Anders the Vice-President Elect.
Mrs. Dessler and Mr. Anders are of the Conservative Party, though in Cascadia,
"conservative" is more similar to the ideologies of the late US Senator (AZ-US),
Barry M. Goldwater, than to the modern form of conservatism (ie "religious right").

Another New Ministry Too?
In light of the "Paranormal Outting", a new federal ministry has been created to address
the issues at hand. The new ministry is the Ministry of Paranormal Affairs, which shall address
issues pertaining to the "non-human" crowd.
