I guess I didn't express myself properly as everyone interpreted it as being a reference only to electrical brownouts.
I was actually using the brownouts as an example of other failings in our comfortable lives that we have seen and will probably see in the future.
It could be electricity, or drinking water, or products in stores, or fuel, or anything really.
As I was saying, in Canada we take for granted that most everything is going to work reasonably well, that it will be fixed fast when it doesn't, and that we'll have access to anything we need in a reasonable time frame.
But it's not a given that it will always be the case and the reason it's been that way for the entirety of our lives is due to a fairly fragile, well-balanced human-built and -run "ecosystem".
