      Non-voters and the usual 3rd who would’ve sold us out to Trump.

      Does anyone seriously think the cons will never win an election here again before our latest nazi trend burns out?

      Edit: ah i see, heads buried in sand.

        Trump doing things is actually what gives me hope. If the trade war hadn’t happened we’d be following the US trajectory exactly, and PP would currently be PM. As it is, Doug Ford is kind of repeating what Churchill did way back when, starting fascist-aligned and then moving off, and might be the next Conservative to actually win.

          Hey that’s refreshingly optimistic in a realistic way for once, can’t knock that view.

          My concern is less about the figurehead of the Conservatives vs the undeniable rot of the party behind the scenes. Living in Alberta has admittably darkened my views to a massive degree.

    to the canadians in the comment section here. who are more inclined to resist. and want to start a local unofficial cell, you dont have to do all this yourself, but building a community of like minded people and organizing makes this a lot easier. people you can trust with your life

    get your PAL license, ASAP. restricted PAL as well, not really valuable right now, but that doesnt mean it wont be in the future.once you have that, purchase 2 guns. a mossberg 500 pump action shotgun. its cheap, and reliable, and a few stacks of shells, slugs and buckshot. for drones and potential close quartes. get a secondary rifle of your choice, but something with cheap or readily available ammunition is ideal. smaller calibers are easier to silence, but american troops tend to wear plates. so lets hope its not all level 4. there are many ways to make a silencer if you’re handy. also consider picking up a 3d printer and learning how to use it. theres limitless potential here.

    if you dont like guns, and like doing some DIY, a drone license is about 10 dollars. and you can practice virtually as well. order cheap parts online, practice. (3d print parts as well if you like) never underestimate the amount of spare parts you can pull out of a cheap old paper printer. screws, gears, rods, motors, wiring. be creative with what you have.

    learn “chemistry” and where to source ingredients, hardware stores and garden centers have reactant ingredients. research which ones work, and how to do it safely.

    if you can afford it, thermal vision and night vision scopes or goggles, be prepaired to spend thousands on quality goggle. honestly you are pretty much dead without them, so avoid going out at night if you cant. unless you are doing a gray man activity.

    also, flares/road flares. fantastic for blinding those with night vision. thermal vision is hard to get around. im sure theres a way, but i havent seen a universal choice besides hiding behind something thick and cold.

    meshtastic communications, radios, these are something to consider. setting up solar powered networks now saves us dangerous networking trips after the invasion. its cheap, easy to learn. and it will save lives.

    also, generators, diesel ones are great (especially older ones, diesel is easier to make than gas) but solar powered ones are also nice as well. if you make a male to male extension chord you can power your house by plugging into an outlet with the generator running.

    heating. electric heaters, gas heaters, electric blankets, regular blankets, thermal wear, whatever you can get. they will cut power, and in the winter that will kill thousands of us. be prepared. winter gear is paramount.

    general camping gear is also extremely valuable. tents, cooking equipment. axes, saws, etc. all great. be prepared to have your cell live in remote areas for a time. learn bushcraft. learn how to dig a trench, learn how to dig and build a proper bunker, and how to hide it.

    FIRST AID. get your first aid for the love god.

    learn to live off the land, hunting, fishing, gathering local flora. create trade networks.

    CARDIO, WEIGHT TRAINING. dont worry about getting a six pack, in fact, pack on a few extra inches of fat. be daddy thick, learn how to make a preserve high calorie, high fat, and high protein meals. nature and the laws of thermodynamics doesnt give a fuck about aesthetics.

    transportation is also key. drones also make it virtually impossible unless you are in an apc covered in a metal mesh made of old fences and power line wires.

    thats a tough nut honestly, which is why its best to just hunker down and move only when its absolutely necessary. but use your imagination, try to keep it quiet when possible. remain hidden, strike only when you can guarantee that their losses will be greater than the cost of your lives.

    theres like a million other things we’ll need to know and share, but the best thing you can do is play to your strengths, learn to be resourceful with what you have, always try to adapt. and never lose hope. morale is the most important thing to any movement.

    this is also gonna sound messed up, but we are going to have to be blood thirsty. and cruel. beyond anything you imagined doing before. we must be creative in iur cruelty. we have to make them remember why they feared us, and why that border was built in the first place. because once they cross that border. they arent humans anymore. they are nazis. fascists. they will rape, murder, and pillage as they always have, and they must be snuffed out, no matter the cost. our very way of life is at stake, and far more. we risk becoming the fuel to an engine that damns the world, far earlier than its intended expiration date. it is our duty not only as canadians, but human beings, to fight this machine at any cost. the cycle must end with us. regardless of what our government chooses to do for “the safety and well being of canadians” we the people decide our fates. and the fates of those who would harm us.

      This is a question I’ve always had, as someone who doesn’t drive how would I be able to transport a weapon from the store to home? I can’t just open carry a shotgun.
