Hubby and I were having a rather heated discussion about this tonight.

Here in Ontario, the worst case scenario would be that many if not most people would be forced to flee Toronto and many would be invading farms and stealing food because gangs would be formed and unleashed and there are a segment of population who are on drugs and the welfare mentality prevails here.

I see all beings as basically good but many are overwhelmed by many forms of provocation.

I would not want to be a farmer without a strong backbone and lots of savvy and a well concealed underground home already stocked with a few years supplies. It could get that bad and the boy scout motto is "always be prepared".

Now then there is further up north the Canadian shield (rocky granite country) which is useful only for hunting and fishing and maybe some goats or sheep and some built up garden boxes, but no large farms up here, just plenty of woods and swamps. Two lane highways at best. Plenty of lakes. Plenty of hungry black bears and coyotes and some wolf packs too. And, my god, the mosquitoes alone will keep the cowards away.

Plus it is about 2.5 hours from Toronto and most people here have firearms and know how to use them.

Not as interesting a target for desperate hungry people, plus the people up here would quickly form a tight knit community and keep out stray gangs.

Anybody below the Canadian shield who looks rich or too middle class will be the first to suffer and lose their homes, etc.

This scenario is taken right out of the history books -- history does often repeat itself.

Here in Toronto we live in a lower middle class neighborhood in a concrete clad home and a fairly tight knit townhouse complex so we will be okay at least until the water and electric are cut off, but there is no way to grow adequate food here and if anyone did have some chickens or a goat it would disappear one night into someone else's dinner pot. There are too many people in this complex of different ethnicities that things will only hold together for so long before trouble starts.

If and when this scenario forces us to take residence up north in the godforsaken woods (so most people think) we will use that as an opportunity to continue as a group our further spiritual clearing processes and education.

Our motley group is fond of the Maittreya being (the disembodied universe-sized being) and what he represents so we can withstand a simple physical life while earnestlly achieving our westernized equivalent of the Boddhisattva levels. In fact it will be easier for us.

Most of us have already achieved the equivalent of "Nibanna" or "Clear" and from that viewpoint as a sequestered group we can affect major changes within the hearts of men.
