360 000 without power? So two Brampton garages? Illegally plugging into your neighbour's electricity can get slippery in an ice storm.

Yeah, those are the goals. Apart from not buying animal products. You're talking to someone on the decentralized fediverse, is that so hard to believe?

Ironically the Canadian government used to train the Chinese military on winter survival as recently as 2018.

Go ahead and read about it on the official government website.

Can't trust any of them. They're up to something and you're paying for it.

Mindful consumer habits is the example I gave. I used to be a sucker for convenience like a lot of people. I've also started paying attention to politics, and I mean politics not news headlines about politics. Making up my own mind on the opinions of others has been a real life changer.

So what's your take?

Consumer habits is a good place to start. Actually be mindful of what you're spending money on and your actions. Not sacrificing ethics for convenience. For example, people love working from home. They don't pay attention to how working remotely funds American tech companies like Microsoft and Google while at the same time reducing the revenue from our public transit systems. Demanding to work from the office will have a bigger impact than posting on American or Chinese owned social media and attending solidarity "elbows up" rallies.

MPs and all politicians should be paid the mean income of the people they represent. That way if they want a pay raise they actually have to work to increase the quality of life for the people who they represent.
