LOL TC I was talking to peach.

The hypothetical scenario in question was her grand apocalypse where world governments folded and yadda yadda.

 

My point was that the average rugged Canadian would know their home terrain better than some American prepper who gets his/her survivalist scenarios from yt vlogs and videogames. A good percentage of Americans (outside of military types with cold weather training) just would not be prepared for the climate.

 

There's more to "strength" than muscle, guns, fighting skill or strategy, though all are important qualities for survival in tough times.

My grandfather's bunkmates at Sunnybrook referred to the quality as heart.

 

 

It's what's all the best people have left when their guns, their money, and other commodity fetish objects are gone.

From what I've seen, Canadians and Americans aren't so different person-to-person. 

 No, we're not that different. There's a range. Some of us value the same things as some of you. Some at the extreme ends of the spectrum are very different.

But the huge differences are the guns, the national differences in attitude toward healthcare and education, and religion. 

 

We pay more tax and accept that the neighbours our government has helped with our (specially designed to virtually eliminate corruption and waste) healthcare system, paid for by our tax dollars will help us if we ever need it. We go to school with the attitude that we're going to pitch in and do our share, and what we need will come. Greed is less of a motivator for more of us.

To Canadians, guns are for shooting food. Shooting a person like a haunch of meat is an insult. Yeah, we have guns. We have just as many per capita as the Americans. But we view them as Americans would view salad forks, garden hoes and screwdrivers. They're tools. Nothing more.

Americans view their guns the way they view fancy cars and designer clothes. They're commodity fetish objects that are necessary to gain acceptance into some little clique, and not to defend oneself against violence. Or people would buy one or two simple, cheap guns to get the job done. They wouldn't have entire armories full of ARs and teflon piercing bullets.

We're also less religious on average.

 

So... when it comes to an outbreak, or a large scale war, we're better prepared, and less likely to "shoot 'em all and let god sort 'em out" as it were.

I scratched my very first celebrity crush off my list bc he turned out to be a Republican. He's not a horrid douchey Republican, but... blah. Still not ideologically compatible  :P

 

 Xena pretends to be under 40 but her first celebrity crush is this guy kek

I never said I was under 40 lol

I said my son was in middleschool 8 years ago and I have a daughter who's been living with her fiancee in Ottawa since 2014.

I assumed somebody who's so obsessed with correcting other people when they're cracking a joke (likely to tryta look smrt lol)

would be able to do the math.

Duh lol

Also, I've noticed on more than one thread that ppl here confuse preppers with real soldiers, and what would amount to a band of American thugs out on a raiding party to a real war.

They are not the same thing.

what makes you think preppers from the us are thugs and not veterans themselves

No one really chooses the 3M N95 masks anymore, though they have better filtration, it's uncomfortable to breathe in for extended periods of time, hence it's warning label.

 If they're dumb enough to tryta invade Canada without the backing of the usual American military machine (which we've already explained no longer exists in this over-the-top apocalypse scenario)  they're probably not real soldiers.

 Most of the preppers I've met are Klingon-level retards that were rejected by the US military.

One guy I knew who was in the Oath Keepers (a rural tinfoil hat militia thing) used to store his own piss in jars (in a bunker so the piss wouldn't get exposed to EM radiation). These dudes ain't in the real military for a reason XD

 Kek. Alice and I are preppers. We don't store pee but we do have enough rice, beans, and lard to last a few months if need be. Also guns and ammunition, but not as much as we would like.
