News & Politics / Toronto Canada - What Has Happened To Canada?

« Last post by JohnyMac on April 11, 2024, 11:55:04 AM »

We see daily how our good neighbors to the north, free speech being thrown to the wayside by the Trudeau government. It started with the truckers strike and has gained steam since.

Here is a video of a Rebel News Reporter David Menzies being arrested for reporting on a pro-Israel gathering in Toronto Canada.

Today arrests tomorrow reeducation camps.

I can see PKv's desire to help people. It is a human and Christian trait. PKv, I have always thought of you as a good man.

Jackalope brings up a good point, and that is PERSEC.

When ever I facilitate a class on the 4 Bee's (Beans, Band-aides, Bullets, Bibles) I speak to this. In essence just because you are in a prepping workshop with other folks interested in prepping, keep your cards close to your vest.

Thinking the bulls eye is you, each ring out from the center represents people in your circle. Your spouse should be the first ring. Friends & family should be what ring? The farther the rings move from you is the gauge of what PERSEC you share with them. Trust is paramount to survival.

PKv, thank you for starting this post.

    I guess I look at things differently, PK.  First, I'm extremely careful about sharing prepping information...PERSEC and all that.  Even within my MAG, I'm careful about information.  There are some things that are quite visible at my residence, but unless folks are within my immediate circle, I don't elaborate.

    I would be even more careful when dealing with law enforcement.  Not all law enforcement officers are "good guys", and if they have hungry kids at home, you can bet they will see your supplies as a potential source of food.  Law officers have the training and equipment to take what they want.  When there is no more law, they will do as necessary for survival, it's human nature.  After multiple days without food, a human will do what is necessary to obtain it.  We're only nine meals from anarchy!

The other day, I had the occasion to have one of our County Deputies come to my house for a minor issue. He was a really nice guy and needed to come inside for a few minutes, which was OK with me, under the circumstances. I warned him that I was a Prepper and he was going to see a ton of Boxes of Prepper supplies from floor to ceiling in one room. Anyway, just before he left, I was giving him some economic collapse advice and some issues that his office might have with communications when the SHTF. They have digital radios that go through Cell Towers (Big Mistake). They do have the ability to switch their radios back to analog. Anyway, I told him that if they get themselves into a bind and can't get analog radios, I would be glad to share a bunch of my Handi-talkies with them. He didn't get to go into my Radio Shack but I did tell him that I was a Ham Radio Operator and If they had any Communication problems, I was capable of handling Radio traffic on just about any frequency if they needed it. He was very receptive to my prepping ideas and just before he left, he said that he would be coming to see me if there was a collapse. I laughed and said, "Yeh, everybody says they're coming to my house when the SHTF." Anyway, I also told him that he should give some serious consideration to starting to stack some physical Silver if he could because Hyper Inflation was going to be a real problem real soon. Of course, I didn't reveal how much Silver I have but I did tell him that even though I have some Silver, I'm not floating in it. Before you ask..... No, I did not talk about weapons or ammunition even though there were a couple of 9 mm carbines and 22 caliber rifles resting against one wall. He didn't ask and I didn't tell. I'm of the opinion that local law enforcement should know where they can get some civilian assistance but they don't need to know all your personal business. Oh, I did explain that I have DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) capabilities through a local repeater 15 miles north of me. When the Cell towers go down, the DMR repeaters might still be up and operating.

Which ploy will they use?   ALL if deemed necessary.   Our Republic's existential enemies have no intention of losing power and with iron, corrupt fists in the courts, DOJ and propaganda machinery, the "means justify the ends" means game on, gloves off.    And yes.   If called upon to fire on American citizens, there will be no shortage of troops who will do as ordered.
Have been buying canning lids (often sold out) and flats of jars when I go to the market - slowly-slowly-catchee-monkey.     But slow and _steady_ is a race winner often enough.
   In an egregious short-coming, I've only last week got all 5 of my Baofeng radios out for programming - and NUTS!    my Windows 10 won't download the CHIRP installer!
Ahead enough in some areas, waaaay behind in others...

They have ploys we cant imagine, stay frosty....

General Discussion / Re: Gold? Bad Idea!

Its important to listen to the experts and do the exact opposite of what they tell you to do. It's a Game of "Watch what the big money is doing and do what they are doing." Never do what they say you should do. Hmmmm.... All of the huge Banks are buying all the physical Gold they can get, yet they are all telling the public to not buy Gold because it's a bad investment.

I think I'll be ordering some of this particular antibiotic, just in case.

I am glad to learn that you are feeling better and on the mend. I wish you a swift and complete recovery!

I have been building a small  supply of antibiotics and other medication to have on hand to treat various ailments in case they may no longer be readily available at some point. It gives me peace of mind to know that I can treat a serious illness even if we cannot get to a doctor, hospital, or pharmacy. My discussions with a local MAG verified that very few members make this a priority. Generally, it seems to be because they do not have a medical background and have not put any effort into learning anything about pharmacology. I am glad to see you are proactive. I know that there are two or three first-line antibiotics that might be selected for Pneumonia. Would you mind sharing which drug you were prescribed?

I used to order most of my antibiotics online from animal pharmacy sources but for the last couple of orders I bought from JASE Medical https://jasemedical.com/. While the quantity is lower than I would like, and they are expensive,  they do provide a variety to cover most ailments. I have read that they recently expanded the quantity and number of medications that they offer. I will have to look into that.

If you have a different source that would be available to others please share.

    In the past I've used www.buy-pharma.md   Delivery usually takes 15-30 days.  For those interested in the particular antibiotic used in my case of pneumonia, it was Cefdinir 300mg twice daily for 10 days.  It seems very effective for me, can't say how it will respond for others.  I've used the buy-pharma website for other antibiotics and some other pharmaceuticals, never had an issue.  Their products are made in India, Asia and Europe.  I consider them to be the next step up from an animal pharmacy.
