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”?

"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."
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?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.
Don Braid: Threat of huge federal fines pushes Alberta's energy 'War Room' into UCP government fold
Federal Bill C-59, which threatens fines for positive statements about the oil and gas industry, is pushing the "war room" into the UCP foldnationalpost.com
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.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?
