Already existing mutual aid societies offer a great deal to cooperate with.

I agree. I believe the English called it the home guard. Could train for a couple of weeks every few months . Essentially a third tier with the Reg Force and Reserves. Volunteer for it and get paid when actually doing it for the small amount of training.

We need this

🇨🇭 too, but our government is altogether so naïve and so not facing real risks we're far from swedish sense.

We are more used to have an idiot as neighbour than you. We have had 800 years to prepair, you only two months

I bought my little home in the woods, off grid, 20 years ago, never thinking in the end, this may be my safe space. My mother, who survived WW2, said "don't stay in the city. You will die there, go into the forests and hide and you will stay alive".

Feel the same. I’m older, live in the middle of the woods, “should” move closer to civilization for services probably eventually, but not yet. I feel safer here.

kasmac.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Right? No neighbours nearby, no crazy people.....so quiet you can hear yourself think?.......yeah, i won't trade it for anything.

Yes we do. We also need an expanded Reservist capability to deal with issues like forest fires, floods, etc.

maireraven.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Where can I get a copy of it??? We need it here, in the US.

merydeath.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Yes please!

amanstans.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Absolutely it’s time to make people aware of the very basic things they can be doing for their safety.

Yes. We are now like Taiwan. Our next chances are to become "indigestible" to a larger adversary.

And put on a pause on gun buyback program and ownership restriction. Are you paying attention Liberals.

A PDF version of the Swedish handbook, "In case of crisis or war":

taniaspencer.bsky.social•11 hours ago

👆For some reason the PDF loads very slowly on Bsky, in which case just copy and paste the link to a browser (it'll open perfectly).

Finland, incidentally, has an online guide, "Preparing for Incidents and Crises":

I think if this were to be successful young people would have to feel valued and engaged by their country, and unfortunately politicians have ignored the interest and views of Canadian youth for decades.
