Fwiw, received this emailed message also today.So, I hesitated a few minutes, after receiving this message.
Dr.William Makis, a Canadian doctor with a unique perspective on COVID-19, Vaccines and medical ethics.
It feels ominous. It sends a message.So, Eastern Provincial Canadians, what do you make of this?
Anyone in the “Huron and Bruce Counties” or “Goderich” areas?
“The Canadian Armed Forces will be conducting an emergency exercise in Huron and Bruce Counties between Friday, May 3 and Sunday, May 5, 2024. Goderich residents will notice a military presence throughout Town as soldiers will be stationed in the community over the weekend.
There is no reason for concern regarding this exercise. It is being conducted to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise for soldiers. Soldiers will be conducting fire fighting training, wellness checks, simulated search and rescue operations, establishing cooling centers, as well as other activities. These exercises will be conducted throughout Huron and Bruce Counties.
Wellness checks or "door knocks" will be performed in Goderich on Saturday, May 4. Soldiers will be going door-to-door and speaking with residents to simulate what would happen if they were asked to check on the well-being of residents during an actual emergency.
All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to those in the area. Members of the public are asked to take extra caution if approaching military vehicles and troops and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation.
Questions can be directed to 31 Canadian Brigade Group Public Affairs Officer, Lt Paul Verheye at paul.verheye@forces.gc.ca.

The Facebook comments range from “oh, I feel so safe and looked after”, to “ military knock on MY door? A long barrel is greeting them, on opening”.
Strange days, indeed!

OP LENTUS is the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) response to natural disasters in Canada.
Provincial and territorial authorities are the first to respond when a major natural disaster occurs in Canada. If they become overwhelmed, they may ask the CAF for help. When the CAF responds to such a crisis, it is known as Operation LENTUS.
Operation LENTUS follows an established plan of action to support communities in crisis. This plan can be adapted to multiple situations. These might take the form of forest fires, floods, ice storms, or hurricanes.
OP LENTUS and your post show me how helpful and benign this could be, lol! Boy the last few years have made me suspicious of our 'government' and for good reason.Maybe it's all just normal training. The CDN military also has a mandate to assist during disasters, and has a long record of doing decent work to protect the people.
You can click on the OP LENTUS link and see their community support operations since about 2010.
Yes, I agree, “normal training” goes on in emergency response organizations all the time.Maybe it's all just normal training. The CDN military also has a mandate to assist during disasters, and has a long record of doing decent work to protect the people.
I can't answer the question you asked because I'm from Quebec and don't know anyone. But I'd like to add a parenthesis regarding something related to Mennonites in Ontario. I looked up with the search function if I wrote about it somewhere before, but it seems like no. And this should be known.For example, there is a rather large settlement of mennonites living in that area, what are their sentiments, have they become more isolated in these post covidiot “strange days”?
