I know that there was a right-wing rumour going around yesterday that the federal government was going to declare martial law and bring in the military, is that what you are referring to? I would ignore things like that.

So when I'm out of a job & homeless because Trudeau doesn't give a fuck about the millions living paycheque to paycheque, without money for spare expenses, food, rent etc - I'm sure I can just "ignore" living in a cardboard box, while him and his buddies basically swim around in our tax dollars, while watching everyone else basically get kicked out of their homes, starve or something else unbecoming of a First World country...
Now, if theres some ACTUAL money coming into our pockets, with the military providing supplies and food? Maybe I could *trust* the federal government. But until Trudeau coughs up paycheques and groceries for the rest of us living on the edge? I can't trust shit out of his mouth. Same for the premiers.
The only bright side out of this: thanks to the incompetence of people controlling the levers in Winnipeg, at least this supposed "pandemic" won't be as bad, since the WAA and others don't know the concept that "international travel trade and tourism = $$$". But hey, what do I know?! I was born and RAISED in Winnipeg. Its bad enough out here in Alberta, but when shit hits the fan inside the Perimeter?! WPS sure as fuck won't be able to keep the crowds at bay. The Army is going to have to come in. Without them, it will be a nightmare for anyone unfortunate enough to be within stones throw of Winnipeg. Especially without the armed forces in the city, minus a few reservists & CF-18s which could provide recon & shitscare tactics (low passes), at best, to control the mobs.
So whatever bullshit tactics and vanilla screetching is coming out of the talking heads, there should be plans for groceries and rental/employment insurance support, at the VERY LEAST. Without it, Calgarys already bad enough, but at least people can keep the lid on, out here. The second people in Winnipeg go without any food, rent $$$, groceries or even any form of government assistance? Anarchy will be an *understatement*.
ACTUAL plans are needed. And to be honest with you guys, Trudeau, Pallister and Kenney AREN'T known for bright ideas. Especially the first two. So whatever is going to happen, it better happen NOW.
And for the record, is there anybody else concerned that Canada is about to implode? Or are we all just going to keep pretending that "everything is fine"? Trudeau along with the NDP have practically steamrolled most of the country... but with $20 oil, a "pandemic" and virtually no leadership, no GDP growth, no jobs, no nothing?! Shits about to get ugly, yet NOBODY here seems to be concerned. It's ridiculous. Makes me think of the "bread and circuses" before Rome was obliterated... isn't there ANYBODY on SSP, concerned about ANY of this?!??!
