Breaking events in Canada that indicate authoritarian trial balloons and which will be seen everyone in the Developed World soon no doubt

There is a video I am waiting on which is pretty severe in terms of certainly what appears to be the advancement of government totalitarian control of all of us here in Canada. I expect to post it tonight. For the moment, please check out these items and consider what you all feel about them and post in the comments.

benign? Or a total undoing of a fundamental of Western democracies in terms of the role of the military and police?

The troops will be taking part in Exercise Trillium Venture from May 3 to 5, which will include operations in a number of Bruce County communities.

Maj. Paul Pickering of the Canadian Armed Forces’ 31 Territorial Battalion based in London was at Bruce County council on April 4, where he outlined the training exercise, which will simulate a domestic scenario requiring military response.

Exercise Trillium Venture is actually part of a larger Trillium Series exercise that started in 2023. Exercise Trillium Response was held In Toronto in January, where the leadership of the exercise worked through the scenario, developed their procedure and came up with a plan, Pickering explained.

The exercise to be held in May in Huron and Bruce counties will see soldiers execute the plan, Pickering said.

“On 3-5 May we are going to confirm the capabilities of our territorial Battalion group,” Pickering said. “That is a composite group made up of our 12 units in 31 Canadian Brigade Group that come together for domestic operation.”

Pickering said the group has deployed in the past to deal with floods and forest fires.

“This is something that will happen again and we practice for it, which is why we do these exercises,” he said.

The scenario planned for May will simulate a 13-day heatwave with temperatures peaking above 40 degrees Celsius. It will include a severe storm causing power outages and damage to infrastructure and homes. There will be the possibility of water shortages in some communities and an option to add wildland fires to further escalate the exercise.

A number of tasks are planned for the participating reservists, including wellness checks, tree clearing, fire training, moving seniors from one location to another, an ATV search of the coastline, and a search and rescue exercise. Among the Bruce County communities where participants will be located are Mildmay, Walkerton, Wiarton, Sauble Beach and Lion’s Head. The exercise headquarters will be based in Blyth, with other Huron County communities involved including Clinton, Hensall, Wingham and Goderich.

A Canadian Military Veteran sent me this and she is alarmed about it, to put it mildly.

There is a post on Facebook, about it which leads to this official site

The Canadian Armed Forces will be conducting an emergency exercise in Huron and Bruce Counties between Friday, May 3 and Sunday, May 5, 2024.   Goderich residents will notice a military presence throughout Town as soldiers will be stationed in the community over the weekend. 

There is no reason for concern regarding this exercise.   It is being conducted to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise for soldiers.  Soldiers will be conducting fire fighting training, wellness checks, simulated search and rescue operations, establishing cooling centers, as well as other activities.  These exercises will be conducted throughout Huron and Bruce Counties.  

Wellness checks or “door knocks” will be performed in Goderich on Saturday, May 4.   Soldiers will be going door-to-door and speaking with residents to simulate what would happen if they were asked to check on the well-being of residents during an actual emergency.  

All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to those in the area. Members of the public are asked to take extra caution if approaching military vehicles and troops and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation.

Questions can be directed to 31 Canadian Brigade Group Public Affairs Officer, Lt Paul Verheye at pa**********@fo****.ca.

Please add your thoughts to this post. And hopefully the other video concerning a town in Quebec on an Island which is implementing QR codes for all people to enter and exit the town to how you think about this.

Yes, you read that right.
