There would be such a level of panic that anybody in defiance would be castigated by the mob, most Canadians would be calling for life imprisonment for those fools

But nobody believes you would really defy them under pain of going to the pen

Just because the EMA is not technically martial law doesn't mean the army won't be in the streets enforcing order, it just means you wouldn't face a courts-martial Civilian law is plenty draconian enough these days to crush you without martial law

Oh no, Canadians are knee jerk authoritarians, the social pressure alone would gain 99% compliance, only lunatics would defy the EMA, the RCMP won't be messing about

Just remember that you will be held in pre-trial custody so you'd be in jail the whole time.

Well you wouldn't get 14 years but they would make an example out of you for future reference, so you'd get more than two years less a day which means you go to the pen, enjoy

At this point disobeying their orders would be a major indictable offence with a maximum penalty of 14 years in the penitentiary.

Full mobilization under the Emergency Measures Act government takes control and everybody is locked down, shelter in place by force of law

If the hospitals are overwhelmed by the pandemic casualties then anybody who needs the hospital is at risk by the disruption, so it's pointless to expect them not to go war in the event this goes like Italy, because that is what will happen.

I've been buying stock since the 90's, I bought AAPL when it was $11, so I've made a lot of money off this Federal Reserve free money party.

That's millions of people so the government will go to war to protect them, that's the minimum basic role of government

Like we're not at the bottom of this market crash right now, it's going to keep crashing for months, plausibly years

That crash didn't bottom out until February of 2009 the H1N1 Pandemic outbreak was in March right after.

Not relevant, it's more than enough to cause a total shutdown here, Emergency Measures Act and the whole shebang.

Like we were literally just here in 2009, market crash with an H1N1 pandemic in progress. We live in a boom & bust world and the booms & busts are getting bigger as we go.

I've spent the better part of the last decade preparing for this exact crisis.

I wasn't actually paying that close attention to Italy until their cases started going through the roof, I was too busy watching the markets.

It all depends on whether Italy is the aberration, or the future.

In these extraordinary circumstances they will control the media, if they come for you, it won't be on the news, you will simply disappear into an extra-judcial black hole, I wouldn't rule out snatch patrols, they don't want to alarm people at your residence, so they might just pull up in the van, grab you and go, so fast nobody even saw it. Special Reconnaissance Regiment, dart to the neck with a syringe full of sedative They will nip it in the bud at the earliest opportunity, ruthlessly.

This is extraordinary circumstances and the gloves are off, the state is vulnerable, they are on a hair trigger alert for trouble right now Nothing can be allowed to threaten control, the army will shoot to kill, I'm quite sure.

You're all being watched by GCHQ, if you even call your friends to start some trouble, 22 SAS could be the next thing you see, kicking down your door.

The UK is effectively under martial law at the best of times, anybody causing trouble right now is asking to be stomped on from a very great height. If you start a riot right now, the army will shoot to kill.

Laziest team in hockey, saved by the bell

My niece is not even a teenager, she's in her mid twenties, and still my sister has her on confinement to barracks, won't even let her leave the condo

Fifteen minutes notice to launch on warning hair trigger alert
