Canadian Orwellian world: Lockdowns, vaccines passports and more

So, I hesitated a few minutes, after receiving this message.
It’s clearly “fear porn” but, Geezus, what isn’t, in these “interesting” times?
But, if enough eyes get on it, maybe it will be rendered “alternate timeline” material, maybe
Here it is, I hope the forum data base allows the screen shots.

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!

It feels ominous. It sends a message.

I wonder why the town council, fire departments, police are not the headliners instead of the Canadian military or even with the military. Maybe that is happening, engagement with local emergency services and just not reported. But looking through local news reports, no mention of interaction between the local services and soldiers. In real life, that would have been, well, realistic, cooperation between the army and the civilians. So this is more realistic for what scenario in the future? For what country?
 
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.

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.

You can click on the OP LENTUS link and see their community support operations since about 2010.

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.

I wish I were closer and could go and observe the exercise. I can imagine it might be enjoyable to talk to soldiers coming to the door, practicing checking on people.

To iamthatis, thank you, I like the reminder of better times past and the possibility of better times in future and assistance with perspective on an ongoing effort to see reality. There is a balance that's hard to perceive and hold to, especially when tired and worn out. It's not that for 'better times in future' I expect the our government to become honest and responsive, it's that changes are coming. I hope it'll mean a change is as good as a rest, but somehow, I doubt that, lol!

Yes, I agree, “normal training” goes on in emergency response organizations all the time.
I also understand, first hand, the “long record of decent work”, our CDN military, police, and emergency responders have done, and DO, in times of disasters.
I have participated in many such training operations in the past.
For the greater part of my working career, I was a fully certified Emergency Medical Response/Emergency Medical Dispatcher in a large city, in Northern Alberta.
I have coordinated and worked many such “training events”, with the above mentioned organizations.
So, thanks for the explanation, but I’m good.

That wasn’t my point for posting the article.

I asked if anyone “from that area” in the Eastern Provinces, could maybe comment, because, as you may well have noticed, Canadians differ politically and socially from province to province.

What is the general public’s mood, the attitudes, in those small communities where these training events are being held?
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”?

It’s the heightened suspicious, paranoid, polarization of the public, that I was inquiring about.

Did you read the comment I mentioned, from the Facebook post of “long barrel in the face”?

So, with that clarification, is there a forum member in Ontario who might hazard a guess at how the local population in the “Huron and Bruce Counties” or “Goderich” areas, may respond to these training events?

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.

My father's friend who lived in London Ontario reported a lot of info to us during the Covid times. I speak in the past tense because she died of cancer in June 2022 after battling for more than a year. To paint a quick portrait: she was a psychotherapist and ran her own clinic in collaboration with other health specialists. Her husband was a Doctor and they traveled and lived in at least 20 countries over their lifetime. So they have a certain level of knowledge.

One of her clients was Amish (from a community near London) and told her they got threatened by some government official: "Bury back your crops or we'll spray them with Agent Orange." So... Apparently they sold their land and were moving to Paraguay.
She also moved to Paraguay in Oct 2021, right before the Vax mandate, or else "no more traveling/QR code vax passport" thing because she did not want to take the injection. Apparently, there was something like 10 Canadian families moving to Paraguay on her flight that day.

Huron County is located 1h20 min from London. So it's quite the same surroundings...
 
A Canadian professor of Law (Queens) has his 5 minutes to civilly blast the House of Commons of Canada, with a focus on climate policy (and more than that). Here is the lead up in his own words:

Jun 2, 2024 HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADA
"For most businesses, the biggest climate risk is not physical or environmental, but governmental. It is the risk from changing regulatory demands that shift the legal ground beneath their feet. You represent their biggest risk. Other natural resource countries are eating our lunch. Foreign investment is leaving. Per capita GDP is falling. Productivity is in the tank. Canadians are becoming poor Canadian prosperity is easily lost. We are seeing just how easy it can be."

It should be noted, that although the law professor speaks of 'solving' the climate crises, he likely holds back with what he really thinks and knows they always speak in code to omit the word anthropomorphic (that is settled they would say). He likely well knows what a C02 molecule is, and what it isn't, and he well knows the corruption of state and he is no anarchist.

 
Has anyone heard of the C40 thing? Their website says there is 96 cities part of the "Club".
The description says it all: C40 is a global network of mayors of the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis.

Here's the map: Cities Archive - C40 Cities

Of course, Montreal is part of it with a special mention: STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBER.
It definitely indicates 'nothing good' and would explain all the irrational actions of our current administration... It gets me in a foul mood when I start on those topics because we are somewhat powerless to change any of it. All the decisions have already been made and are imposed on us without any consultation. Toronto and Vancouver are also "in". Lucky for the rest of the Canadians, there is no other city, but since most of our population is concentrated in those 3 cities, you can imagine the impact.


Here's the list of "what they do"
 
Bill C-59, now in the Senate, could make the promotion of Alberta's energy industry illegal. There is a looming battle here, as the carbon emissions cap could cripple Alberta's economy, and if the industry in the province refuses to shut its mouth about any and all environmental advances made in energy extraction and obey this Orwellian BS.


Bill C-59 is appallingly undemocratic and an affront to free speech. It imposes huge penalties on companies and entities that praise environmental and climate improvements in the industry.

Fines can be up to $10 million for a first “offence,” or three times the benefit from the “deception.” Second convictions could cost $15 million.

Pumping out favourable articles about oil and gas is pretty much all the War Room does all day long. [The War Room is an Albertan organization officially called The Canadian Energy Centre]

It once had a $30-million government budget for the task. The website is still packed with friendly articles on projects and CO2 emission reductions.

Under the federal bill, industry will have to prove their claims are correct. The onus is on them, not the complainant.

Guilt is measured against some vague “internationally recognized methodology.”

The kangaroo court will be the Competition Bureau, whose chief is delighted with these measures. Complaints will get a friendly welcome.

The mere existence of this system will put a chilling effect on any self-promotion from the industry, even when it’s fully justified.

The key amendments came from NDP member Charlie Angus, who would also like to see oil CEOs jailed for advertising he doesn’t like.

Of course, no parallel federal agency requires critics of the energy industry to tell some facsimile of the truth.

Bill C-59 could well violate Charter rights of free speech, but that would take legal challenges and months or years to establish.
Ex-premier Jason Kenney launched this project [the War Room] in May 2018, when he pledged a War Room to champion the industry at the UCP’s founding meeting.

I read the article, but I'm having trouble understanding. As an Albertan I'm very interested. Can you explain it a bit more? This is about censorship correct, stopping companies from promoting and using free speech?

I’m not Canadian but it sounds like they want to suppress promoting oil and gas since it conflicts with the greenish agenda which will therefore hurt Albertas economy and standard of living. So, yeah, restricting free speech of a quasi govt agency with outrageous fines.
