The general preference here is to plan for mutual help at the local (perhaps municipal?) level, based on individual resilience on the lines I have sketched out for my household. Our local Emergency Plan is specific that everyone should be ready, willing and able to be self sufficient and comfortable for 72 hours, without any external help. No guns involved beyond those generally held for hunting (plenty of those!), and no general concerns in that area.

The largest military base in Canada is located adjacent to my village, so what used to be called ACP when I was in the Services (Aid to the Civil Power) is readily available. Many retired services people live in the village, so we have a widespread expectation and capability of disciplined co-operation when problems occur.

There appears to be less concern for any possible general breakdown of society in Canada than in the USA. Is that a fair comment?

Tony.
