As a Canadian I agree but that is difficult. Canada is so integrated with the US that they basically refine all of our crude. Canadian crude is unlike crude from anywhere else and has to be refined a certain way. So we have to build refineries or you do, that can handle our capacity. That takes time and certainly won't be instantaneous. It's not like we can just divert.

Citrus is viable in loads of places in greenhouses if we build the proper infrastructure. Greenhouses with heated soil from geothermal is widely possible throughout the country. Added to greenhouses constructed to take advantage of solar energy as well. The technology exists it just is cost prohibitive at this time. That doesn't matter if you're rebuilding an economy to be self sustainable. You are going to incur lots of debt in the process. We built custom greenhouses for years where we live and are almost completely self sufficient in vegetables, eggs and meat protien for our family as well as my father and sister's families.

Put those in the appropriate sunny places and you can grow whatever you like with very little energy input.

If you add in removing foreign ownership from farmland and rebuilding the soils in growing zones as well as designating areas specifically designated for the appropriate crops you suddenly have the start of a sustainable system. Lots of work. Lots of upheaval. But in the long term a desired outcome from the chaos.

My ancestors were rum runners. I think I'll run eggs south.

Agreed. No backing down now. Keep the pressure on and increasing. This isn't ending any time soon.

When you asked I realized I actually had all the answers and I had literally just read a lengthy post about protecting yourself at protests written by an American. I made sure to thank them as well.

This is the time we need to be sharing information and making connections with our fellow man. If we have the knowledge and someone requests it we have a true need at this time in history to share that information regardless of consequences.

That's how I see it anyway.

We live rurally. Our only pet store is actually petvalu and it's a half hour by car. Sometimes you get what you get.
