Good advice for Canadians too.

Items important to have to survive 72 hours in a crisis: food and water to a flashlight, power bank, radio, cash and medication.

Whatever progress of population there may be in the British Canadas, is only for their own early severance of their present colonial relation to the little island three thousand miles across the Atlantic; soon to be followed by Annexation, and destined to swell the still accumulating momentum of our progress.

We were so lucky for so long that they hadn't turned their attention back to us. Elbows up folks!

If you want to join a protest but the consequences may deter you. Copy pasting.

It is difficult — sometimes impossible — to stay completely anonymous while protesting, as public spaces mean TV broadcasts, journalists, and other attendees may be taking photos and videos and sharing them online or on TV.

Your presence at a protest is valued, but your safety is most important. Here are some tips to keep safe:

Cover your face with a face mask or bandana. Wearing a medical-grade mask like KN95 would also keep you safer from COVID-19.

Use a whistle under your mask, or carry a noisemaker. This helps you join in the noise without having to use your voice.

Wear a hat and sunglasses. This protects you from the sun, and keeps your face hidden.

Cover your tattoos as they can be used to identify you.

Cover yourself with a poster or banner when you see a camera. It will protect your identity and also display your message loud and clear.

Avoid posting on social media during the protest as this gives away your location and presence.

Banners and posters are usually captured on media. Keep this in mind as you walk.

There is an irony of this having been published by the US. But it is a decent read if you're expecting longer term resistance will be necessary.
