When I buy anything from the grocery store, I look for Product of Canada, this means it is entirely, or almost entirely, Canadian content (98% or more). I also buy locally made products, products from the UK, Australia, Scotland etc. #Canada

Read the labels carefully.

The salt mine is owned by a USA company and they are screwing over Canadians.
Sounds like a "national security issue" to me.

Now head of IDU and working behind the scenes to break up Canada. He is PP's puppet master after all. I have a prediction to make, PP will never be PM, nor any of the previous clowns selected by Harper, he's the stupid one to think we have a short memory.

You know why this pisses me off, why did former PM Mulroney (Conservative) allow the sale of our Canadian salt mine (the largest in the world) in 1990 to an American company?

This is one of many reasons Cons should never be allowed power, they sell off our assets.

Hopefully soon! Canada has got to move faster.
In the meantime, a lot of the advice in the Nordic ones is generally applicable, and they are available in other languages including French and English. For instance Finland’s digital brochure (link👇).
In 2024, 🇫🇮 updated its digital brochure “preparing for incidents + crises”, with lots of info on preparedness for: long power + water outages; long disruptions in internet/banking services; natural phenomena like storms + wildfires; and longer-term crises like a pandemic or military conflict. 7/x

Agreed that Canada absolutely needs to get prepared and more resilient for this type of scenario ASAP. Even putting outright invasion aside, the instability south of us could spill across in all sorts of ways. Thread 👇 looks to other countries for lessons.
