Action4Canada - Preparing for Hard Times, Become Self Sufficient, Making Healthy Choices & Live Q&A

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the July 27, 2022 Empower Hour.

00:00:25.280 I hope you're all having a great summer.

00:00:27.820 Here in the North Okanagan where I live, the sun is shining, the gardens are growing,

00:00:32.960 the farmers are gathering in yet another crop of hay,

00:00:36.180 and everyone is finding time to enjoy God's beautiful creation.

00:00:40.760 We have a great show planned for you and we are so happy you're here with us.

00:00:45.140 Tonight our special guest speaker is Dan Vashon and he's going to be giving us tips and advice

00:00:50.520 on the gardening and food preservation in these uncertain times.

00:00:54.420 For those of you who are watching live on Facebook, be sure to click on the link provided

00:00:59.280 so you can join the webinar and have access to the entire show.

00:01:04.000 Action for Canada is a grassroots movement reaching out to millions of Canadians

00:01:07.860 and uniting our voices in opposition to the destructive policies tearing at the fabric of our nation.

00:01:14.440 Through call to action campaigns, we equip citizens to take action.

00:01:18.840 We are committed to protecting faith, family and freedom.

00:01:22.520 For some of you here tonight, it's your very first time attending the Empower Hour

00:01:28.960 and it's always my pleasure to introduce you to Tanya Gaw, the founder of Action for Canada.

00:01:35.520 For the past seven years, Tanya has been working to bring awareness to government policies

00:01:41.420 that are damaging our beloved country.

00:01:43.860 And with Action for Canada, she has created an incredible campaign to bring truth to our nation.

00:01:49.740 Because of Tanya's great love for the people of Canada, she's always eager to share her wealth of knowledge

00:01:56.560 and her goal is to teach and empower each and every Canadian to stand up for their rights.

00:02:03.240 Tanya's faith in God gives her the courage and strength she needs to do the right thing

00:02:08.000 and we are so grateful for her help, encouragement and inspiring example.

00:02:13.580 My friends, will you please join me in welcoming Tanya Gaw?

00:02:17.200 Yeah. Hello, Tanya.

00:02:20.180 Hi, Heather, and welcome to everybody.

00:02:22.700 Thank you for joining us this evening in the middle of summer.

00:02:26.460 I know you could be off having a barbecue or something, but I think this is important

00:02:29.580 and you're part of our family, you're friends and family.

00:02:32.480 So we just really want to welcome you.

00:02:34.660 Thank you for joining us tonight.

00:02:36.000 And Heather, thank you always for your great introductions

00:02:38.420 and the PowerPoint that you created on some of the top points about taboo talks, for instance,

00:02:44.440 coming back in the fall and things like that.

00:02:46.240 So, all right, well, we'll see you in a moment.

00:02:50.000 And I can't wait, every week it's like, oh, I can't wait to get to the guests,

00:02:53.640 but, you know, I have a duty here to provide you with some updates.

00:02:57.760 I've got some exciting things to tell you this week.

00:03:00.040 Who doesn't like good news?

00:03:01.620 So, Terenzio, I will share my screen.

00:03:05.760 And maybe before sharing my screen, I also want to welcome everybody that's with us on,

00:03:10.760 we're going live, so we're on Facebook Live.

00:03:13.740 And if you don't know about Action for Canada and somehow you came across a link

00:03:20.080 and you're viewing this right now, you're going to be just absolutely amazed at what we've been doing

00:03:25.560 and how far reaching we are across Canada, I hope it will really encourage you and give you some hope.

00:03:31.720 And the updates tonight are going to do that as well.

00:03:34.640 Also, if it's your first time and maybe somebody sent you a link,

00:03:38.220 please be sure to go to actionforcanada.com and actually go under join and join us.

00:03:43.080 It doesn't cost anything.

00:03:44.080 We don't charge a membership.

00:03:45.020 But then you'll get the weekly emails I'll be reviewing as well as the invitations to the show.

00:03:51.760 All right, here we go.

00:03:53.000 We're going in.

00:03:53.680 All right, so every week, as I've said, I love to start with our map that shows exactly what Action for Canada is doing

00:04:00.320 as far as getting ourselves into every city and town across Canada.

00:04:05.100 We put a bit of a pause on vetting chapter leaders.

00:04:08.340 We're in about 150 or so locations.

00:04:11.720 We're sorting some things out administratively, but we're beginning to vet new leaders again.

00:04:18.380 So please keep an eye on this page here.

00:04:23.440 So if you were to go, sorry, I've just got to move something out of my way.

00:04:27.040 Under join, you would see A4C chapters.

00:04:31.360 And if you scroll down just a little bit, you can click on any of these links

00:04:36.260 and then see where there is a chapter near you.

00:04:39.560 We've had to do, we grew so fast that we've had to do, like I said, some administrative work

00:04:45.500 in getting organized.

00:04:47.540 And remember, the people that are stepping up to lead these chapters are just like people like you

00:04:52.240 who have decided to get involved and start building communities.

00:04:56.480 And as part of that, we are working very hard towards taking back every level of government.

00:05:02.800 Right now, B.C., Manitoba, Ontario, and PEI have municipal election and trustee elections

00:05:09.160 coming up in the fall.

00:05:10.820 And there's lots of individuals, even other organizations, who are working to get good

00:05:16.240 people elected.

00:05:17.320 But Action for Canada is very strategically reaching out to either individuals that are

00:05:23.400 existing elected officials who are doing a great job, and we want to try to get them

00:05:27.740 elected again, or we're recruiting people, people who have interest and doing our best

00:05:33.280 to support them.

00:05:34.500 So if that's you, if that happens to be something that you're wanting to do, is run as a school

00:05:39.840 board trustee or counselor, do your best to get in touch with one of our chapters, even

00:05:44.200 if it's one that's a couple of hours away, because who knows, it could be an area where we're

00:05:49.560 going to be launching a chapter shortly.

00:05:52.860 Anyways, this is a work in progress.

00:05:56.160 So when the federal elections come up and municipal elections come up, we want to be prepared,

00:06:00.100 but we need you.

00:06:01.040 We need you to be involved and to join us.

00:06:03.760 And then as well, we've got lots of resources for parents and business owners and employees.

00:06:08.880 It's just fantastic.

00:06:10.800 And as we become educated and knowledgeable, there is power in that, and people will not

00:06:16.100 succumb to the government's unlawful orders, mandates, tyranny.

00:06:20.220 Okay, so under call to action, the reason as well that all of these chapters are so important

00:06:27.400 is we meet with all of our chapter leaders on Mondays, and we go over strategy.

00:06:32.700 We go over what's coming out the following week, why it's important, where we can push

00:06:38.200 back.

00:06:38.740 And you can imagine when we send an email out to everybody that's joined Action for Canada,

00:06:43.500 as well as our chapters, we're mobilizing people.

00:06:46.640 And with that, we see results.

00:06:48.600 One of those results is, for years, we've been fighting for this beautiful family, the

00:06:54.480 Ogun Koya family.

00:06:55.740 They escaped from Nigeria to Canada.

00:06:57.780 They had converted from Islam to Christianity.

00:07:01.760 There was a fatwa out on Morafat, the mother's life, and the kids are at risk if they go back

00:07:07.060 and the government hasn't wanted to give them asylum.

00:07:10.180 But they will, you know, allow illegal immigrants to just cross and pay the money and pay for 1.00

00:07:15.020 their housing and their food, etc.

00:07:17.420 So they went into hiding for a year in Canada.

00:07:20.840 And I've been working with Majed Al-Shefi in trying to help the work that he's doing with

00:07:26.140 his lawyers.

00:07:27.100 And I'm very pleased to say that the government last week reversed their deportation order.

00:07:33.460 And that is because of the letter-writing campaigns and the appealing and the calling and the donations

00:07:40.100 that, you know, that people gave towards their legal costs.

00:07:43.560 So I just want to give you a big, huge shout-out.

00:07:46.100 They still have a couple of little hoops to jump through.

00:07:48.740 They still need a little bit of money to help them with their legal challenge moving forward.

00:07:54.120 But the government has allowed them to stay.

00:07:58.760 This is the second time they'd had a deportation order.

00:08:01.460 And we believe this time it is going to lead to full asylum in Canada.

00:08:05.760 So that's very exciting.

00:08:07.220 I can't imagine the cases that we haven't discovered where they've shipped people back to just horrendous,

00:08:15.980 horrendous situations.

00:08:17.460 Okay, the other one, I want to talk about this fellow here.

00:08:20.960 The other great news that we had the other day, of course, is that Pastor Artur Poloski was vindicated.

00:08:28.820 His case had gone before three judges in a court of appeal.

00:08:33.680 And they had decided that this fellow here, Chief Justice Germain, that he was his injunction against

00:08:44.140 Pastor Artur, the arrest of Pastor Artur, his jail time, the censorship order, and the fines were all illegal.

00:08:51.160 And so that's a lot of information in our tool belt to reach out to the Canadian Judicial Council.

00:08:59.540 And I am asking every Canadian possible to write to them, file a complaint, and say that you want this individual removed immediately.

00:09:08.560 There have been judges removed.

00:09:10.180 This is actually an article that I've somewhere added here, right here, that have been dismissed in Canada, a handful of them.

00:09:17.920 Most of them step down before they're officially removed.

00:09:20.860 So let's apply the pressure.

00:09:23.300 Let's get justice going.

00:09:24.660 And let's let other judges know that if they are not working according to the criminal code and the law,

00:09:31.320 and they're in violation of the oath of the bench, they need to go.

00:09:35.640 And they need to go swiftly.

00:09:36.880 All right, on our homepage, I just want you to know that we are trying really hard to make our webpage as easily navigated as possible.

00:09:48.920 So we've got critical links down the side to campaigns or information that you may need.

00:09:55.040 At the bottom, we have now current issues.

00:09:58.620 So you can click on whatever issue is important to you.

00:10:02.020 If you don't like an issue we're dealing with, don't go to that page.

00:10:04.300 But don't send us a letter complaining about it because we feel these are important issues.

00:10:08.580 And they're important to someone.

00:10:10.280 And they're important to our overall strategy, although we don't always share what that's all about for various and, I think, obvious reasons.

00:10:18.800 There will be a few more that we're adding there.

00:10:20.840 We'll add the legal page so you can easily get to that information, et cetera.

00:10:24.320 As well, all of our latest updates, the weekly emails, the top six, as we go along, every time I create a new one, it will pop up here in first position and bump the last one.

00:10:37.440 So I'll carry on under weekly emails.

00:10:45.280 This is where you find the information as well that we report on every single week.

00:10:51.840 We're changing the format a bit, but there's always an Empower Hour invite.

00:10:55.440 And then there's always an email to support what it is that we're going to be talking about, providing lots of evidence and information as to why the government is acting unlawfully and what sometimes, almost always, we have a call to action of what you can do.

00:11:11.460 All right.

00:11:11.900 Again, because I want to get Dan on here, I'm going to scoot through this.

00:11:15.500 We are going to have amazing updates to the Notice of Liability.

00:11:19.740 We have not updated them just yet as far as the COVID testing is concerned.

00:11:26.840 And for those of you who know about our Drop the Mic letter, we are including multiple Supreme Court cases regarding the Privacy Act.

00:11:36.340 And this is going to make these a very, not already that they weren't a very powerful, impactful letter, but now it's going to be even more so.

00:11:43.640 Nobody has any right to access your private information, and it's according to Supreme Court rulings, and we're going to update those.

00:11:51.820 So keep an eye on the page, as well as, sorry, I've got a checklist, the medical directive.

00:11:58.580 We have also the medical directive, for those of you who don't know about it.

00:12:03.500 Actually, I'm sorry, it's up at the top.

00:12:07.340 Here it is, Advanced COVID Medical Directive.

00:12:10.160 This is for you to cut out, and you tape it onto your health care card, so that if you have to go to the emergency for some reason and you're not conscious, it tells them that you do not want remdesivir or to be put on a ventilator.

00:12:23.380 But it also has Supreme Court rulings on there and an automatic Notice of Liability QR code.

00:12:28.520 But the Supreme Court ruling is going to tell them if they touch your body and they inject you, man, there's a Supreme Court case to uphold your right not to have forced medical treatment that you do not agree with.

00:12:41.860 And then I'm just going to close with, I'm not going to cover really the action today because I want to get to Dan.

00:12:49.200 Please take the time.

00:12:50.640 It's an eight or ten minute read.

00:12:52.480 We've got wonderful information included in here.

00:12:55.400 And for those of you as well at the end, I thought it was so exciting to have Rocco on last week that I wanted to provide the video to you.

00:13:03.920 We had a couple of technical difficulties, nothing nefarious, just technical difficulties, but it is loaded and back on the page again.

00:13:11.200 And it's also on our Empower Hour.

00:13:13.580 So be sure to check that out.

00:13:15.820 Speaking of Empower Hour, when you go to click on the Empower Hour, there's this additional link.

00:13:21.480 And if a guest has a PDF or PowerPoint, we always load it on this page so that you can access that information.

00:13:29.160 All right.

00:13:29.560 We're trying to be as thorough as possible because we want you to be fully equipped and educated because if all of us can take a stand in Canada against this tyranny, it cannot and will not last.

00:13:41.700 I also wanted to say that I'll just click off stop share.

00:13:49.040 We're going to get right into it here.

00:13:50.240 So be prepared, Heather.

00:13:51.820 There's also some amazing wins that we've had last week, and I can't divulge what those are.

00:13:59.580 It's regarding some legal matters, not our constitutional case, but something else.

00:14:04.280 As soon as I can update you, it's going to be within the next month.

00:14:07.540 We will share that information, and on that, I want to encourage you to continue to please donate to Action for Canada and the work that we're doing.

00:14:17.560 It is vital to keep us up and running and functional.

00:14:21.880 Donate also to our legal action.

00:14:24.940 Everything for the Constitutional Challenge with Rocco was all raised a year ago, but we are strategically taking on other things.

00:14:34.780 We're not like some organizations, some law firms that are posting it all out there because we're not interested in the government getting ahead of us, or if there's judges that haven't, you know, aren't aware of who we are or some of the people that we're working with, why give them a heads up?

00:14:51.780 Okay, so we're being strategic.

00:14:53.300 We're being smart about this.

00:14:55.520 All of our resources are for free.

00:14:58.100 We have successfully gotten the mask off of our children.

00:15:01.840 People have access to businesses because of it, and as well as people saving jobs and saving lives with our other notices of liability.

00:15:11.200 This week, you're going to be super excited about this.

00:15:14.560 We are coming up with a travel notice of liability for cross-border and domestic travel.

00:15:20.700 You guys, it is an extremely powerful document.

00:15:23.900 So keep an eye on the notice of liability page, but if you've joined Action for Canada, you will automatically be emailed that document next week.

00:15:33.040 It will have step-by-step advice on how to deal with border services, health officials, who you shouldn't even be talking to at all.

00:15:42.640 You don't have to talk to them.

00:15:43.920 So we're going to educate you on a whole lot.

00:15:45.740 We have a special guest coming on next week on this matter as well, and I'm super excited to get this document in the hands of every Canadian possible.

00:15:54.980 So please donate to Action for Canada.

00:15:57.020 Like I say, we do everything at no cost.

00:16:00.360 Don't worry about donating to us and that the government will freeze your accounts.

00:16:05.000 We're boldly and courageously honoring Canadians to protect you and protect the future of this country, and we need you boldly and courageously giving.

00:16:13.960 All right.

00:16:14.400 Thank you.

00:16:15.380 Heather, would you come on and let's bring on Dan? 0.98

00:16:20.240 And thank you so much, Tanya, for all the updates.

00:16:23.140 I especially love all the good news reports that you're sharing.

00:16:26.660 Amazing.

00:16:27.180 So good.

00:16:29.020 Yay.

00:16:29.780 Tanya, I'm so excited to have Dan Vachon on tonight's show.

00:16:33.340 The list of Dan's accomplishments literally is almost as long as my arm.

00:16:38.160 He's a retired pastor, missionary, and paramedic,

00:16:41.560 and he's currently involved in ministry with church outreach.

00:16:45.080 As well, Action for Canada is so blessed to have him as the chapter leader in Sydney, Nova Scotia,

00:16:52.340 and he's also the chapter team leader for the Maritimes.

00:16:56.200 Pertinent to tonight's discussion, Dan has a great love of nature and the outdoors,

00:17:02.520 and he's here to share his knowledge of farming, gardening, and preserving the bounty of the harvest with us.

00:17:09.360 Dan is a man of faith and integrity, and we are so pleased that he can join us tonight.

00:17:14.540 So will you all please help me welcome Dan Vachon.

00:17:18.280 Dan, thank you for joining us today, and welcome to the Empower Hour.

00:17:23.660 Thank you, Heather.

00:17:25.320 And hi, Tanya.

00:17:27.040 Hi, Dan.

00:17:28.300 I've been looking forward to this, and I think all of our viewers have as well.

00:17:32.620 We've got a very good turnout tonight.

00:17:34.420 So I'm excited about this.

00:17:36.360 You know, as I was preparing for the climate change weekly action that I did a couple of weeks ago with Tom Harris,

00:17:43.780 I learned so much about carbon dioxide and nitrogen and how these are absolutely no threat to the environment.

00:17:52.060 And so, you know, having you on, we've been meaning to do this for a couple of months.

00:17:56.180 I wish we had done it a couple of months ago that so, you know, in advance so people could be preparing their gardens.

00:18:02.420 But we'll be ahead of it for next year.

00:18:04.880 But I still think there's a lot that people can do preparing for the fall as the harvests are coming in.

00:18:11.000 Go to the organic farms.

00:18:12.460 We're going to learn about canning and preserving and root cellars and all the rest of it.

00:18:17.080 And so, Dan, I just want to hand it over to you, and let's get started with your presentation.

00:18:23.780 All right.

00:18:24.140 Well, thanks, Tanya.

00:18:24.900 When you called me just a little while ago here, I told you I didn't know what to wear tonight.

00:18:31.460 I see some of the speakers come on, and they're all just so formal.

00:18:36.080 I had my Montreal Xbox T-shirt on, and I took it off, and I see some people logging on from my hometown of Montreal,

00:18:42.940 and I thought, oh, I should have kept it on.

00:18:44.520 But it's good to see so many people on here.

00:18:48.100 It would have been totally acceptable.

00:18:50.900 You look dapper.

00:18:52.040 We're happy to have you on here.

00:18:53.660 So I'm just actually going to disappear for a bit and give you the floor.

00:18:59.080 All right.

00:18:59.760 Thank you.

00:19:00.400 So we've got 550 people almost on here that I think like to eat.

00:19:04.540 But here's what I need to just do this evening.

00:19:08.540 Before I just start this, I want to just share two things.

00:19:12.720 I'm just going to barely skim the surface of what we need to know.

00:19:17.480 And I think most of you, I'm looking at some of the comments here.

00:19:20.700 I think a lot of you know that there is a food crisis coming, and it's not because there's not enough land.

00:19:27.340 It's not because there's not enough seeds and blah, blah, blah.

00:19:30.520 It's a planned thing.

00:19:32.240 Just like there was a plannedemic, there's a planned food shortage coming.

00:19:35.660 And there's a few reasons for that.

00:19:36.880 And I'm not going to get into listing all of the food plants that have burnt down and that planes crash into them and all the other foolish things.

00:19:46.100 But I do need to put things into proper perspective.

00:19:49.560 And I'm going to bookend my presentation with something.

00:19:53.060 And some of you may not agree, but you need to really understand the full concept of really getting prepared.

00:20:03.100 And I mean really getting prepared.

00:20:05.160 So the second thing I want to mention is because we're only skimming the surface, I have a resource list that I've sent to Sheila.

00:20:14.400 And it turns out to be like a three-page PDF document.

00:20:18.220 And on there, there's a list of articles, there's a list of books, and there's a list of YouTube videos and YouTube channels that I follow.

00:20:26.800 And so Sheila will be – I see she just put it on there in the link.

00:20:30.940 But it will also be on our main website as well.

00:20:33.340 So everything that I'm going to reference here, I think I've got four or five different sections in the PowerPoint.

00:20:39.120 That will take roughly about a half hour to go through.

00:20:41.440 And you're not going to watch my face through this.

00:20:43.300 So there's lots of pictures and lots of things that I'll discuss with you.

00:20:47.000 But the first three sections or four sections maybe have links on the resource.

00:20:53.640 So you'll be able to, once we're done this presentation, at your leisure or your leisure, however you say it, is go to the resources and click on each link.

00:21:02.120 And some of them will take you to some of the things that I'm talking about to purchase or to watch or to read.

00:21:07.240 Okay?

00:21:08.000 So let's go from there.

00:21:08.900 So I'm going to go to share screen.

00:21:13.180 And let me see if I can find it here, right here.

00:21:17.020 And I'm going to go to here.

00:21:20.860 All right.

00:21:21.600 So let me go to the first page.

00:21:25.700 All right.

00:21:26.100 So first of all, I want to say thank you so much for joining me with me tonight.

00:21:30.540 This is going to be fun.

00:21:33.100 Although we're living in uncertain times, this has been right up my alley.

00:21:36.360 I've done a lot of things in my life.

00:21:38.500 I've lived in quite a few places.

00:21:40.080 But since 1989, I have lived in beautiful Nova Scotia.

00:21:46.160 And gardening here has been a little bit of a challenge.

00:21:48.300 But I did have nine children, and they do like to eat.

00:21:53.420 So, you know, we've had to do what we've had to do.

00:21:56.200 So I've just titled this Prepping for Uncertain Times because these times are uncertain, as you can imagine.

00:22:02.960 So as I said, I need to bookend my presentation with really, really getting prepared.

00:22:09.680 So the first slide is this.

00:22:11.820 You really need a survival tool.

00:22:15.200 Now, some of you on this call may be saying, I don't believe in God.

00:22:20.480 I don't believe in the Bible.

00:22:22.360 It's a little bit too late not to believe in what's going on and not believe in God and the Bible.

00:22:28.660 And I'm going to really explain what I mean at the close of my presentation.

00:22:35.040 But here's the thing.

00:22:37.360 Some of you are awake enough to know that there's a World Economic Forum.

00:22:42.240 There's a fairly not good-looking fellow by the name of Klaus Schwab, who seems to be driving what's going on in the world.

00:22:50.260 Then you've got another kind of funny-looking fellow by the name of Bill Gates that's buying up all the farmland.

00:22:55.320 There's a shortage of DEF fluid.

00:22:58.220 There's a guy that runs our country that's driving it into the ground economically.

00:23:02.680 And you may think that you're awake and thinking these are the people that are the problem.

00:23:08.660 But at the end of my presentation, I'm going to show you how we need to go way, way back in our history to know that it's not the 2030 agenda that's the issue.

00:23:19.480 Okay?

00:23:19.760 And the very first thing that you need to know is that everything that's going on in this world right now is found and has been found.

00:23:28.780 And we can trace back to what God's Word says.

00:23:32.140 Action for Canada stands for faith.

00:23:35.340 We are a non-denominational, Bible-based organization.

00:23:42.040 And that's where we start from.

00:23:44.740 Now, keep that in the back of your mind.

00:23:47.420 And we're going to get back to that.

00:23:49.120 So that's section one.

00:23:50.880 We're moving on to section two.

00:23:53.660 What else are we going to do?

00:23:55.040 Well, it's time to grow, grow, and grow.

00:23:59.000 Like Tanya said, we had planned on doing this a few months ago, and it just didn't work out.

00:24:03.460 Is it still time to grow?

00:24:04.660 Well, if you don't have your gardens in by now, there are things that you can do.

00:24:09.140 And that's kind of a little bit what we're going to do now.

00:24:13.440 It's time to gather your tribe, your farm, your harvest, and preserve together.

00:24:17.600 And some of you may be in a bit of a precarious situation.

00:24:21.760 I live outside of a main town, and my problem is I live on a gravel pit.

00:24:29.140 Some of you may live in high-rise buildings.

00:24:31.340 Some of you may live in – can you all see my screen, by the way, Tanya?

00:24:35.860 Is that –

00:24:36.580 Yes, it's all good.

00:24:38.120 Okay, perfect.

00:24:38.780 Thanks, Renzo.

00:24:39.620 So some of you may be challenged in that.

00:24:42.060 Some of you may live like on the 12th floor of an apartment building.

00:24:45.680 And, you know, you may be challenged that way.

00:24:49.840 Some of you may live, you know, in a house where you've got no yard.

00:24:54.280 And so you don't have the space.

00:24:56.040 And some of you may work long hours a day.

00:24:58.920 And so you may have those challenges.

00:25:01.700 But there are ways around that.

00:25:04.460 Some people have gotten really, really creative.

00:25:07.320 I know of some people that – there's five families, for example, that have found an old abandoned farm.

00:25:12.540 Well, it wasn't really abandoned.

00:25:13.760 It hadn't been used in a number of years.

00:25:15.120 And they made a deal with the landowner to reclaim a couple of acres.

00:25:20.620 And the landowner was more than happy to work with them.

00:25:24.200 Other places, there's churches in the country where, you know, some churches don't have cemeteries around them or graveyards.

00:25:34.340 And so the church communities have gotten together and used that land as a church community and turned it into a useful garden.

00:25:43.340 So you need to be creative and find ideas that work collectively.

00:25:49.880 Now, it's the end of July.

00:25:51.560 Some of you in B.C., you may have longer growing seasons.

00:25:54.860 I worked a few years in Alberta, and I know how fast it gets cold and how cold it does get there.

00:26:01.740 We're going to talk about some of the ideas that you can overcome there, too.

00:26:06.800 But there are things that you can do even right now.

00:26:09.640 Now, even if you don't have a seed in the ground right now, there are things that you can do, even starting right now.

00:26:16.100 So some people may say, well, do you do this kind of thing?

00:26:19.700 Well, I do.

00:26:20.720 Now, for years, I've had, like, different greenhouses and gardens and that.

00:26:24.680 One of the farms, I've owned three farms in my life.

00:26:26.940 And right now, we're just on a couple of acres.

00:26:28.740 So just a few months ago, I put this greenhouse together.

00:26:32.760 Now, I'm fortunate and I'm blessed.

00:26:34.520 I have my own sawmill so I can mill my own lumber in that.

00:26:37.800 And I went to Kent Building Supplies or Home Depot, bought these panels.

00:26:41.660 And I threw this together in just a couple of days.

00:26:43.960 It's only 8 by 12.

00:26:46.380 And some of the photos I'm going to show you on here I took just a week ago.

00:26:49.340 I was just in there about an hour and a half ago to close it up.

00:26:52.580 And some of the plants, like the picture on the left, those are my peppers.

00:26:58.600 I've got little grow boxes there in the window.

00:27:00.660 You can't even see those anymore.

00:27:02.320 So those plants have grown about four and a half to five inches.

00:27:05.680 The middle picture, those are my tomato plants.

00:27:07.780 Those are now touching the ceiling.

00:27:10.900 So the picture on the right, those tomato plants are now, they're about eight feet tall.

00:27:15.720 And they're full, full of tomatoes already.

00:27:18.640 Everything was planted from seed.

00:27:20.260 We have grow lights that we set up in the basement on trays.

00:27:24.280 And we start that usually around the end of March.

00:27:27.180 Now, just a few ideas I want to share.

00:27:28.940 Some of you may still have time to build a little greenhouse like this.

00:27:32.960 And you can actually grow through the wintertime.

00:27:36.440 Now, look at the middle picture and the picture on the left for just a second.

00:27:39.280 You see those white things at the bottom.

00:27:41.740 I found a couple of hardware stores in town where when people buy a steel door

00:27:48.860 or fiberglass door and they want a big window put into it, the stores cut the section out.

00:27:56.580 Usually it's about two feet wide by three or four feet high.

00:28:01.260 And they throw the middle part out.

00:28:03.960 Those middle parts, they're insulated and they throw them out.

00:28:07.400 So I went and got a whole bunch, a whole truckload.

00:28:10.220 And that's what I built my raised beds in.

00:28:12.760 And I filled the bottom of those things with a bit of soil.

00:28:16.040 I live on a hardwood property.

00:28:17.700 So I filled bottom also with old rotting logs.

00:28:20.820 I threw some worms in there.

00:28:22.520 I've got a wood chipper.

00:28:23.620 So I put all kinds of hardwood leaves in there.

00:28:26.620 You want to be careful not to put too many like oak leaves.

00:28:29.520 And you don't want to put walnut leaves or cedar leaves in there.

00:28:33.260 But leaves in there.

00:28:35.020 Our chickens, they're bedding.

00:28:36.900 We use shredded newspapers.

00:28:38.460 So I let the chickens poop on there for a couple of weeks and then put that in there.

00:28:42.560 And then put a bit of peat moss in there.

00:28:44.360 And then I just layer it.

00:28:45.880 We're going to talk a little bit about how you can do that just in the garden.

00:28:48.440 But put my seedlings in there and voila, things just grow.

00:28:56.180 So you can actually build a little greenhouse like this.

00:28:59.020 And some people think, well, I have no way of heating something like this.

00:29:02.380 You can take fresh manure.

00:29:04.080 If you can find somebody that's got cows or even horses with fresh manure and you put that at the bottom, like in the fall,

00:29:10.820 and then put peat moss and leaves and just build it up like that.

00:29:14.480 The decomposition of that will create enough heat that you can grow root vegetables in there.

00:29:21.140 And I use all the available space that I can.

00:29:24.100 I use some scrap lumber there.

00:29:25.700 And I just put some more herbs in there that I planted.

00:29:28.620 And like I said, like the little herbs that you see there now, they're about a foot tall just in like seven or eight days.

00:29:35.140 And that's just the bird's eye view in the bottom right-hand side there.

00:29:38.640 I even use tires.

00:29:40.260 I mean, that's on the side of a hill there.

00:29:42.260 And I've got zucchini growing in there, pumpkin, and two different types of squash.

00:29:46.480 I've got about 12 tires growing there just in the woods.

00:29:49.540 And that, you know, I'm using space where the sun actually can hit and where my hose can reach there.

00:29:58.540 Now, some of you live in the city and you're crammed for space.

00:30:02.880 There may not be space.

00:30:04.360 Some of you live in neighborhoods where there may be a little bit of space.

00:30:07.760 And you've got to consider options.

00:30:10.240 So here's some options.

00:30:11.660 You can get together with some of your neighbors and community gardens.

00:30:15.360 That's becoming a very popular thing.

00:30:18.360 And, you know, there's different ways of doing community gardens.

00:30:23.060 Community gardens bring people together.

00:30:25.200 It's an opportunity to raise awareness.

00:30:28.540 And community gardens can be absolutely anywhere.

00:30:31.000 Now, maybe you do have a little bit of space and you don't have to be Italian to grow a lasagna garden.

00:30:43.300 Now, I know some of you know exactly what I'm talking about.

00:30:45.820 And, oh, thank you.

00:30:48.580 I have tried this and used it in many, many places.

00:30:54.560 As a matter of fact, all of my raised beds are done in this way because we live on a gravel pit here.

00:31:00.040 I actually bought a dump truck load of dirt last year that was supposed to be topsoil.

00:31:06.040 I put it in my raised beds and it grew absolutely nothing.

00:31:08.940 As a matter of fact, half the dump truck load was left over.

00:31:11.520 At the end of the summer, I didn't even have one single weed growing in that pile of good for nothing, nothing.

00:31:21.420 So, here's what I did this year.

00:31:23.200 In my raised beds, I did lasagna bed gardening.

00:31:25.800 Basically, you can start with grass.

00:31:27.760 You don't even need a tiller.

00:31:29.660 You only, you don't even need talent.

00:31:31.760 So, you get some newspaper, four or five layers of newspaper and you wet them or cardboard.

00:31:37.120 You wet it.

00:31:37.580 You get bags of manure from your local co-op store or farm supply store or a lot of the garden centers are closed now for the season.

00:31:48.060 So, they may have that stuff on sale.

00:31:49.980 You get some chopped leaves, some peat moss, some grass clippings from mowing your lawn.

00:31:55.080 Gather your grass clippings from your neighbor.

00:31:57.500 Gather your compost from your neighbors.

00:32:00.260 Throw that on top.

00:32:01.420 More chopped leaves, a thin layer of peat moss.

00:32:04.020 Get some straw and if you don't have straw, leave your grass clippings to dry for a few days until they turn ground.

00:32:10.980 There's your layer of straw.

00:32:12.700 A little bit of blood meal, more grass clippings, some peat moss, a tiny little bit of soil, chopped leaves, compost.

00:32:19.500 And then if you actually want to plant in there right away, a thin layer of dirt, throw your seeds on there and you will grow, not lasagnas, but whatever your seeds are.

00:32:29.680 You'll be amazed at what you can grow.

00:32:32.240 Okay.

00:32:34.700 You need more space?

00:32:37.220 I have a little side business called Driftwood Pallet Works.

00:32:41.160 Now, because we live right by the ocean, we collect some driftwood.

00:32:46.160 I have a ton of driftwood that's waiting for projects in my spare time, which I don't seem to have much these days.

00:32:53.140 But for years and years, I collected pallets.

00:32:55.740 Even though I've got a sawmill, I love collecting pallets because pallets have character.

00:32:59.700 Look at the bed on the left, completely made out of pallets.

00:33:04.380 Times are tough these days.

00:33:05.940 The economy has us, you know, pinching pennies at times.

00:33:08.540 And you can take this pallet bed on the left.

00:33:12.100 You can fill it with lasagna bed type stuff.

00:33:15.100 And there you go.

00:33:15.960 I mean, look at the shape of that yard.

00:33:17.800 I mean, that's not even a nice yard.

00:33:20.200 But you can have stuff growing in there.

00:33:23.000 You know, look at the beds on the right.

00:33:25.100 You've got pallets just leaning on each other.

00:33:27.040 You throw some dirt in there.

00:33:29.000 And these people now, the beds in the front, they've got some soaker hoses in there.

00:33:34.560 Saves on water.

00:33:35.340 Inexpensive, but you'd make it work.

00:33:40.580 Now, here's some more fancier raised beds.

00:33:43.340 The ones on the right, half-inch water lines.

00:33:48.120 Fairly inexpensive.

00:33:49.240 You buy them in rolls of 100.

00:33:51.140 And these people just kind of stuck them in there.

00:33:53.560 I don't know if they have them fastened, but I'll show you how to fasten them in just a little bit.

00:33:56.800 But by putting them like that, in the springtime, you can throw some plastic over that.

00:34:03.980 And in the fall, you can throw some plastic in there, too.

00:34:06.380 And that extends your growing season by about three months.

00:34:09.880 So you can start your seedlings in there.

00:34:11.700 Or you can start your coal-hardy vegetables in there, like your lettuces.

00:34:16.140 And you can extend your growing season as well.

00:34:19.000 In the fall, you can plant your, once you harvest, say, your lettuces there,

00:34:25.640 or your beets or whatever.

00:34:27.380 You can actually do a planting in September, early October.

00:34:30.700 You can plant carrots and parsnips in there.

00:34:33.100 Cover that with plastic.

00:34:34.600 And you can be harvesting right through the winter.

00:34:37.440 Now, as for plastic, here's an idea to get plastic from a place for free.

00:34:42.920 Furniture stores, when they get their mattresses,

00:34:45.820 those mattresses come in a really thick plastic.

00:34:49.660 And they throw that stuff out.

00:34:51.380 So you can get that and cut it up, square it up.

00:34:55.640 And you put it over your raised beds.

00:34:57.780 Free for the taking.

00:35:00.400 Maybe you can tell by now that I've been a bit of a scrounger all my life, right?

00:35:04.480 But I've made things work.

00:35:06.180 So extend your growing season.

00:35:07.560 These are what we call polytunnels.

00:35:09.480 Now, you can grow.

00:35:11.000 There's big polytunnels that you can walk through.

00:35:13.480 But here are just little ones.

00:35:14.800 If you're crammed for space, you'll see the picture in the top there.

00:35:19.620 Just put that on early on in the spring.

00:35:22.060 Or when there's a danger of frost, you just throw that on.

00:35:25.720 Very simple to attach.

00:35:27.400 Again, the bottom left-hand photo.

00:35:29.320 Again, it's just a half-inch water line.

00:35:31.060 They sell these clips at Home Hardware, Home Depot, Lowe's.

00:35:34.700 Here we have Kent Building Supplies owned by Irvings.

00:35:37.320 So a few little clips on the wood of your raised bed.

00:35:41.480 And you fasten your plastic there.

00:35:43.120 You can staple it.

00:35:44.180 You can just staple it on one side and leave it long on the other side.

00:35:47.560 Put a few bricks or something to tie it down.

00:35:50.440 The picture on the right, there's actual little hoops that you can purchase

00:35:54.100 that you just press down into the dirt.

00:35:56.720 And on the hot days, you open up the ends to get some air going through it

00:36:00.480 so you don't get rot or mildew on your plants.

00:36:03.380 And again, it extends your growing season.

00:36:05.660 Something very simple to do.

00:36:07.980 So growing is something that we must do.

00:36:10.960 I mean, if you've gone into the grocery stores recently to see the price of even greens,

00:36:16.620 I mean, it's incredible.

00:36:18.440 So if you have the time, if you've got the money,

00:36:21.420 if you want to go in on something a little fancier with a bunch of families,

00:36:26.500 you can build a greenhouse.

00:36:28.040 I mean, you can go with plastic.

00:36:29.320 You can go with recycled windows on the left.

00:36:31.640 You can go with something a little fancier with the one on the right.

00:36:34.460 You know, you can add lights.

00:36:35.560 You can add a heating system.

00:36:37.320 You can add a self-watering system.

00:36:39.620 I mean, the one on the right there, they've got all kinds of different things going.

00:36:43.460 Now, I put some different things there on different things that you can do,

00:36:47.980 you know, different benefits.

00:36:50.240 You can grow year-round.

00:36:52.220 And you don't necessarily need a source of heat in there.

00:36:55.780 I know some people that take big plastic water barrels, fill them with water, paint them black.

00:37:00.720 And during the day, those will hold an ambient temperature.

00:37:03.020 If you've got stone pavers on the ground, those will absorb heat during the day when the sun hits them.

00:37:09.480 You can get water jugs and paint them black and hang them high, and they will absorb heat during the day and slowly release the heat during the evening.

00:37:17.160 You can do successive plantings.

00:37:19.040 You know, you pick your lettuces when they're done, and then once that's done, you keep planting throughout the year.

00:37:25.680 Now, I put that a greenhouse is also very therapeutic.

00:37:28.720 After 29 years of being a paramedic, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and a retired police officer from Toronto and I built a greenhouse not too far from here.

00:37:39.420 And for two years, you know, that was part of my therapy.

00:37:41.880 I ran my sawmill, and, you know, I worked in the greenhouse, and it was very therapeutic.

00:37:49.080 So not enough space, you say?

00:37:52.280 Maybe you live, again, on a high rise, and you've got a deck.

00:37:56.460 Maybe you've got a balcony.

00:37:57.600 Well, I mean, look at the one on the left there.

00:38:00.080 I mean, you know, it looks beautiful, but unless you're into eating flowers, you may want to do something like on the right, you know, planting something that you can actually eat.

00:38:07.700 But planters, what about planters?

00:38:10.220 I mean, planters are going on sale now at the dollar store, at Walmart, you know.

00:38:13.960 You can get some planters.

00:38:15.480 I've even seen people buy just those bags of dirt, put slits in them, open them, and just leave the bag of dirt the way it is and throw seed right in there.

00:38:23.440 You don't even need the containers.

00:38:24.840 Here's somebody that thought outside the box on the left-hand side, and they built these little containers that you can't really see, but there's three one-by-fours supporting those planters on there.

00:38:37.480 But they have full use of their deck there, not taking up space, but they just reach over, and they've got their lettuces.

00:38:46.400 The one on the right, you can see how they plant things close together.

00:38:49.920 When you plant things close together, you get less weeds, less watering.

00:38:55.620 You've got some nice chard there, some lettuces, and, you know, you've even got some nice marigolds planting there.

00:39:02.280 So, less space, again, you may want to consider growing things up.

00:39:07.260 Consider climbing vegetables, vertical planters.

00:39:09.980 The one on the right there, it looks like that fancy little planter that was made there.

00:39:17.040 I mean, that's, you know, some one-by-sixes that you can pick up at the hardware store.

00:39:20.880 It looks fairly simple.

00:39:22.280 And it looks like that whole contraption would just fold up together, you know, something that you can use during the season.

00:39:28.360 You fold it up, put it away for the winter.

00:39:31.180 And, you know, if you enjoy building something like that, I mean, you can, you know, buy enough lumber to build four of them, use two and sell two and get your money back, and it'll pay for the two that you have.

00:39:41.820 Make it a little side business these days.

00:39:44.540 What about year-round indoor options?

00:39:46.340 Now, my wife and I own a garden tower.

00:39:51.780 Well, just like the one on the left there, and the link for that is also on the resource page.

00:39:57.240 And we have the grow lights for it as well.

00:40:01.660 Those things now, they're not cheap, though.

00:40:05.160 It runs about $1,200.

00:40:07.580 But the nice thing is the lights come on with the timer whenever you set it.

00:40:12.380 So ours comes on at 6 o'clock in the morning.

00:40:14.680 The lights go off at 11 at night.

00:40:16.800 It waters itself.

00:40:19.180 So, you know, every 15 minutes or so, the pump comes on for about a minute and a half.

00:40:24.060 And the thing holds about 12 gallons of water.

00:40:27.360 So once, maybe every, I'm going to say, week or so, we have to put more water in it.

00:40:32.800 We put nutrients in the water, and it's aquaponics.

00:40:37.540 Now, the thing literally looks like the ones on the right, and it doesn't take long at all.

00:40:43.400 I mean, we have had lettuces and Swiss chard and kale coming out of our ears.

00:40:49.400 I mean, we have a home Bible study thing in our home, and we have just been giving the stuff away.

00:40:55.420 As a matter of fact, my wife pulled some of it out there not too long ago.

00:40:58.240 Like, the stuff at the very top and the roots went all the way down into the basin.

00:41:02.680 The roots were like five feet long.

00:41:04.760 And so I took some of that out and threw it in the garden, and the stuff is growing in the garden now.

00:41:09.160 So it's just incredible.

00:41:11.140 It's a really good investment to have.

00:41:15.500 And with this thing, you grow stuff year-round.

00:41:18.880 So it is a good investment.

00:41:22.560 Other indoor options, the one on the left is something that you can buy on Amazon.

00:41:27.100 And again, I've got the description there on the resource page.

00:41:29.960 That thing there will run you about $150, much less expensive.

00:41:35.640 And all you need for that is maybe a Rubbermaid tote to hold your water.

00:41:38.940 It does come with the pump.

00:41:40.380 It does come with the little cups.

00:41:41.700 And it does come with the tubing for that.

00:41:43.940 The ones on the right are exactly like ours, except those are shown without the lights.

00:41:48.980 But that's exactly what they look like when they're full of different types of lettuce, isn't it?

00:41:56.920 So now that you've got your stuff that you've grown, what are you going to do with it?

00:42:00.880 Well, you're going to have to preserve it.

00:42:02.720 Because you can't eat everything all at once.

00:42:04.820 And nobody can survive just on lettuce.

00:42:07.180 So different options we're going to talk about.

00:42:09.780 You can freeze your meats and your vegetables.

00:42:11.780 That's the obvious.

00:42:12.660 The concern is, what if the grid goes down?

00:42:17.140 Now, we've got four freezers here.

00:42:20.560 I just picked up my pig from the butchers yesterday.

00:42:23.900 And we've got a smoker now.

00:42:25.780 So we've got to smoke the hams.

00:42:27.240 And they're soaking into brine right now and bacon.

00:42:30.280 But you know, if the grid goes down, we're going to have to have a, you know, community barbecue or something.

00:42:36.620 Because that's a big issue.

00:42:38.020 One of the things you can consider is to dehydrate your meats and your vegetables.

00:42:43.060 Now, you say, wait a minute, dehydrate your meats?

00:42:45.280 Yeah, we'll look at that in just a minute.

00:42:46.880 But dehydrating your vegetables.

00:42:49.040 Now, we have both of these dehydrators.

00:42:51.800 They're very similar.

00:42:52.580 The one on the left is kind of slow.

00:42:55.200 And it's good for, like, smaller things.

00:42:57.260 You know, like we have a lot of mints that we grow for teas and different things like that.

00:43:01.580 But the one on the right is a commercial dehydrator.

00:43:04.960 The one we have stands taller.

00:43:06.920 And it's got two fans.

00:43:08.360 And man, is it ever fast.

00:43:09.780 And, you know, we do tomatoes.

00:43:12.060 We do fruits.

00:43:13.140 We do, I mean, we can do pretty much anything with it.

00:43:16.620 So, again, I've got some links on the resource thing.

00:43:20.920 And what you want to do is do some research.

00:43:24.580 Amazon has some great deals on them.

00:43:26.560 Read the reviews.

00:43:27.280 The nice thing with dehydrated things is once they're dehydrated, you put them in glass jars.

00:43:35.280 You put them in a cool, dry place.

00:43:38.040 And they will last you for a long time.

00:43:41.160 Canning and bottling.

00:43:43.600 There is a difference between canning and bottling.

00:43:45.880 You're going to have to do your own research on that because there's acidic food and there's non-acidic food.

00:43:51.540 The difference is some things will need to be pressure canned and some things you can get away with a water bath.

00:44:00.120 One of the things I want to tell you now, the price of these supplies has been going up.

00:44:06.060 The availability of some of these supplies has been going down.

00:44:09.920 I was at Canadian Tire the other day looking for some canning jars.

00:44:13.260 And of the kind I wanted, I was told by the staff, the shelf was empty.

00:44:17.200 They said, we have none.

00:44:18.160 I went to customer service and she's like, well, we say we have 12 cases.

00:44:22.280 And they look for about 35 minutes before they found them.

00:44:25.560 They brought them out.

00:44:26.520 And the lady says it looked like somebody was hiding them because in the back stock room, because they were not where they were supposed to be.

00:44:33.600 So I bought them.

00:44:35.000 So supplies are getting low in some places.

00:44:38.940 I've got links to all of these supplies in the resource page.

00:44:42.140 The one on the left is a pressure canner.

00:44:44.020 The important thing I want to point out to you is this.

00:44:46.940 If you do not have a pressure canner and you're going to purchase one, get one with a pressure gauge like the one you see on the left.

00:44:53.880 There are some cheaper ones that don't have the pressure gauge.

00:44:57.120 Don't bother with those.

00:44:58.240 Get one with the pressure gauge.

00:44:59.880 Because most things will say pressure can, for example, your meats at 10 pounds or 15 pounds of pressure for an hour.

00:45:07.940 You want to make sure that you see that, you know, you're at the proper pressure.

00:45:13.960 The pot on the right is for water bathing.

00:45:16.780 So with that one, you don't need pressure.

00:45:18.980 You know, it'll say water bath for 10 minutes and that's all you'll need.

00:45:21.780 There's a lot of recipes for different kinds of sauces and jams and jellies, pasta sauces and all kinds of things on Pinterest and online.

00:45:37.860 And you can also check Facebook Marketplace and, you know, down here we've got a few other local sites that you can check.

00:45:45.840 It seems that some of the older folks, it seems, are getting out of it.

00:45:50.900 Or in our area, we haven't seen too many yard sales this year, but you can sometimes find these canning pots or jars for fairly cheap.

00:46:01.140 You know, you've got a straining colander there on the right if you're going to do any kind of tomato sauces and that, you'll need stuff like that.

00:46:08.800 So, again, all of the links for these things are on the resource page.

00:46:13.100 So you can dehydrate your meats and it will last years without refrigeration.

00:46:18.200 So even your ground meats.

00:46:20.320 So ground beef goes on sale, buy it.

00:46:23.660 I mean, we were down at Walmart the other day and they had like $14 large packages of ground meat.

00:46:31.140 The truck arrived a day late and it was on a weekend and it was a long weekend.

00:46:36.500 And so we got the $14 packages of ground beef for like $5.

00:46:41.500 The guy at Walmart was marking it down three times in a row, like right there in front of us and putting it.

00:46:46.540 So we half filled a cart.

00:46:49.580 And so you can take it home.

00:46:50.740 You can cook it.

00:46:51.520 And one of our dehydrators has the racks are like a mash.

00:46:56.660 So you can dehydrate it and stick it in bottles right away.

00:47:00.600 Put it in a cool, dry place.

00:47:02.320 I don't know about you, but jerky is kind of addictive.

00:47:05.400 You know, you can get flavored jerky and stick it in bottles.

00:47:08.720 And again, it'll last you for a long time.

00:47:10.960 So dehydrate your meats, store it, and you don't need refrigeration.

00:47:16.060 So it'll take up less space, less electricity in the end.

00:47:19.540 Bottled meat will last a long time.

00:47:24.320 Now, some of you will say, ew, that looks so gross. 0.99

00:47:28.320 Well, if you've never had bottled moose or bottled deer, then sorry, just shut up. 0.99

00:47:34.420 You don't know what you're missing. 0.98

00:47:36.100 But you know what?

00:47:36.760 Bottled meat is really good.

00:47:38.340 And I want to talk a little bit more about some of the meats that we have here.

00:47:44.080 And I'm a hunter.

00:47:45.320 I've been a hunter for a lot of years.

00:47:47.660 And you know what?

00:47:48.340 You just can't put everything in the freezer.

00:47:50.460 It may not look the best, but until you sink your teeth into it, it really is soft and tender.

00:47:56.080 And especially if you raise it yourself, you know where it came from.

00:48:00.060 So you want to preserve it yourself, right?

00:48:03.100 So bottle vegetables.

00:48:05.140 Be creative and plan your meals, I say.

00:48:08.000 You know, sometimes you can mix your vegetables.

00:48:10.700 Sometimes you go to the store and, you know, maybe or you go to the market or whatever.

00:48:17.600 And vegetables right from the garden will be on sale.

00:48:21.520 So buy them.

00:48:22.940 Maybe you don't have a garden and, you know, somebody that's got extra tomatoes that they

00:48:27.500 just want to get rid of or whatever.

00:48:28.920 Buy them.

00:48:29.860 And even if you get a few jars of tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce or whatever, buy them.

00:48:37.100 You know, green tomato chow or whatever.

00:48:39.200 Buy them and put them aside.

00:48:41.340 And, you know, for right now, while a dollar still buys you a dollar worth of stuff at the

00:48:46.300 stores and while there's still food on the shelves at the store, buy it.

00:48:51.560 I mean, while your dollar is still worth something, purchase it.

00:48:55.040 But at the same time, put stuff away in your cupboards and in your pantry while you can.

00:49:01.320 So another thing that you can do is you can freeze dry it.

00:49:06.620 Now, we looked at this machine online and we considered maybe getting one with a few friends.

00:49:12.040 Um, but I hope you're sitting down.

00:49:14.920 One of these machines is a little over $5,000 and that wasn't for the really big one.

00:49:21.580 Uh, you have to run them for 24 to 36 hours.

00:49:24.940 And some of the things that I did put on there that it uses electricity, well, so does the

00:49:29.820 heat dehydrator and sort of the other things. 0.89

00:49:31.780 But apparently it's kind of a pig on, on electricity.

00:49:35.280 And the lady that does the commercials for these, she says, oh, and your food will taste just

00:49:40.040 the same.

00:49:40.960 Well, all the reviews that we read were like, yeah, no, it doesn't taste the same.

00:49:44.200 I mean, the lady that does the commercial, she takes ice cream sandwiches and freeze dries 1.00

00:49:48.920 them.

00:49:49.820 And I'm thinking, well, if I'm going to buy an ice cream sandwich, I'm going to eat the

00:49:53.320 ice cream sandwich while it's like an ice cream sandwich.

00:49:55.740 But anyhow, that is an option that you can consider as well.

00:49:59.300 You can freeze dry your food.

00:50:00.880 You can stick them in these bottles.

00:50:02.600 But what they recommend are these Mylar bags.

00:50:05.480 So you have to buy the Mylar bags.

00:50:07.200 You can open up the Mylar bag and reseal it if you don't use all the contents.

00:50:12.960 And they say that the contents are good for 25 years.

00:50:15.960 So it'd be kind of like moon food or, you know, or, you know, military type stuff.

00:50:22.400 So what about a cool storage or root cellars?

00:50:26.400 Where are you going to store all this stuff once you have it?

00:50:29.840 Well, I wish I could say that the root cellar on the bottom right is my root cellar, but

00:50:35.660 it is not.

00:50:36.560 It is a borrowed picture.

00:50:38.980 Now, I used to have a root cellar in one of the farms that I had.

00:50:42.540 And we used to have about 2,000 jars full of stuff that we used to preserve because my garden was big.

00:50:48.160 And I used to have 450 animals on my farm.

00:50:51.040 So we used to do a lot of butchering ourselves.

00:50:53.540 But, you know, I just have one of my daughters just moved back home.

00:50:57.140 She just turned 17.

00:50:58.900 And so we're having to expand our food production a little bit because, you know,

00:51:02.740 well, kids like to eat.

00:51:04.400 But anyhow, so but the thing is, you may say, I don't have the space.

00:51:09.740 So we have a great action for Canada community across our country.

00:51:15.240 I mean, we have 100,000 people on our mailing list.

00:51:17.800 We've got 150 chapters.

00:51:19.760 If you don't have the space, reach out to one of our chapters.

00:51:24.840 We've got connections.

00:51:26.100 I know of some people, you know, that want to store like large quantities of non-perishables

00:51:30.960 and people are buying pods, you know, like these ship containers, like even the small ones.

00:51:35.680 You know, you can get them for $2,500 to $5,000.

00:51:38.620 And they're putting them on somebody's secure property and they're filling them with things.

00:51:43.980 And so but anyhow, so you want to be able to store your food in cool, dark places, the ideal.

00:51:50.740 And you want shelving systems that are solid.

00:51:55.500 The one on the right is is handmade, two by fours, plywood.

00:52:00.960 The one on the left is commercial bait.

00:52:02.420 The one on the picture on the left shows a photo of somebody that's got pretty much an unfinished

00:52:12.080 basement.

00:52:13.520 But there's a window in there.

00:52:15.420 If you have a basement even that is finished and you've got a window in there that's on the north

00:52:21.260 or northwest corner of your house, you can build a cold storage room.

00:52:26.840 It's very simple.

00:52:28.520 And there are videos in the in the resource page that you can go to and you can build something

00:52:34.160 like this fairly inexpensively.

00:52:35.820 And you can build something that looks like this and keep root vegetables.

00:52:41.740 You can keep your cannings and your canning stuff doesn't all need to be in a room like this.

00:52:47.160 But your root vegetables.

00:52:49.640 And something to remember, too, is sturdy shelving is a must.

00:52:54.040 OK.

00:52:56.840 Some of you have space outdoors and you've got time on your hands.

00:53:00.600 You've got some pretty rock.

00:53:01.940 You've got the side of a hill.

00:53:03.140 And, you know, you can you can build something like what's on the left.

00:53:08.540 Some of you are like, I don't have time for something like this.

00:53:11.120 I don't have the space.

00:53:12.160 I want something simple.

00:53:14.520 Look at that.

00:53:15.280 An old freezer with a couple of pipes.

00:53:17.440 There's a video on how you can do that in the resources.

00:53:20.800 How about something even simpler?

00:53:23.120 These do work.

00:53:25.940 Fifty five gallon root drum or even a tin garbage can.

00:53:29.680 Again, the resources, the videos for these are on the resource page.

00:53:40.280 Filling your root cellar.

00:53:41.560 Well, you want to put root vegetables in there.

00:53:43.400 And here's a list of the ones, the vegetables you can put in there.

00:53:46.720 And what I have always done is you can use sand or damp sawdust.

00:53:53.800 I've got a sawmill, so I just use sawdust.

00:53:57.080 Now, we have a room underneath one of our part of our living room.

00:54:00.800 It's an addition and it doesn't freeze under there.

00:54:04.480 One of the YouTube channels that I that I follow.

00:54:08.180 Boss of the Swamp is part of it, but I've got one of my favorites is YouTube videos.

00:54:17.020 But he's got a part of his basement where he he buries a truck box underneath his basement

00:54:25.320 and he keeps his apples in there and his his vegetables like that.

00:54:29.920 And you would be amazed.

00:54:31.600 Things just don't freeze like in a cold cellar.

00:54:34.680 And the key is just to layer your vegetables, either with damp sand or with damp sawdust.

00:54:41.080 And don't forget your apples as well.

00:54:43.200 If you can buy your apples from an apple orchard or someplace in bulk, you know, do so.

00:54:50.640 Again, you can you can dry these in a dehydrator and you'll have fresh vegetables, fresh fruit all winter long.

00:55:01.900 So what about cooking?

00:55:03.340 Well, here's some ideas.

00:55:07.560 You can cook with a propane barbecue if the power goes out, the grid goes out.

00:55:11.860 The problem is I know that around here, our local gas stations keep about 120 bottles of propane.

00:55:19.300 And when the power goes out, those go fairly quick.

00:55:21.620 So I've got another extra barbecue similar to that one and the burners all burnt out of it.

00:55:29.320 So I rip all the propane stuff out of it.

00:55:31.620 I live in a hardwood forest, but you know what?

00:55:34.060 You can scrounge some hardwood in the woods and you can use it like a like a charcuterie.

00:55:38.920 So you build a little fire in there and you let the fire burn down to charcoal and voila, you've got a barbecue that's not propane anymore.

00:55:47.080 But you can cook on there.

00:55:50.740 Rocket stove.

00:55:51.600 I own a rocket stove just like the one that you see on the right.

00:55:55.820 I've got the link for that in the in the resource page as well.

00:56:00.200 Mine is green.

00:56:00.960 But basically a rocket stove, you build a little fire in there using twigs and on top is a large cooking surface.

00:56:08.260 You can put throw a cast iron pan on there, cast iron Dutch oven, nonstick frying pan, a big pot.

00:56:15.200 You can put a huge pot on there.

00:56:16.900 You can cook stuff on there and they literally just run on twigs.

00:56:20.960 I have built about five or six rocket stoves like the one on the left out of coffee cans when coffee cans used to be made out of metal.

00:56:28.200 The one in the middle are other commercial rocket stoves that you can build.

00:56:32.320 The reason why they're called rocket stoves is because once you build a fire in there using twigs, you can see the flame on the right.

00:56:39.760 The flames literally come out like a rocket.

00:56:43.540 And I've built about four or five like the one on the right out of a five gallon pail using tin cans and a five gallon metal bucket.

00:56:52.800 And you insulate inside either with perlite or with sand.

00:56:56.100 And that's all you need.

00:56:58.200 Literally twigs.

00:57:00.160 So if you build one of those or two or three and you have them kicking around the house, you can literally cook your food, boil your water and not die.

00:57:11.420 You know, you can have something to cook with in case the power grid goes off.

00:57:15.140 You can cook your food or you can purchase one like the ones like the one on the right.

00:57:19.260 They're about two hundred and something dollars.

00:57:22.060 But you know what?

00:57:22.720 You'll have something to have to cook your food.

00:57:26.360 There's a company called BioLite and they sell these little rocket stoves.

00:57:29.880 And they're not all that big, but you can still put a pot on there or a cast iron frying pan.

00:57:34.660 Now, these are fancy because as the fire cooks your food, it also generates energy.

00:57:42.000 It'll charge your phone and it charges a power pack and it charges a light that you can have at night.

00:57:48.900 And these are a little over two hundred dollars as well.

00:57:51.940 And again, I've got the link for that in the resources.

00:57:54.660 Now, what about water?

00:57:55.940 Well, you know, you can buy water bottles and you can buy all kinds of stuff and you can fill your house with water bottles.

00:58:02.360 But that supply is going to run dry, too, at the store.

00:58:06.040 And.

00:58:07.480 We've got to think long term.

00:58:09.420 So some of you may have access to a water supply, a lake, a river.

00:58:14.020 We're fortunate we live on a freshwater river.

00:58:16.340 And so a Berkey water system, like the ones on the on the left from Canada, the little one on the left will run you about five hundred and change all the way to the one on the right will run you close to eight hundred dollars.

00:58:31.500 They're fancy.

00:58:33.000 I built the one on the right for about one hundred and fifty dollars.

00:58:36.780 It's the same Berkey filters, two food grade buckets from from Home Depot.

00:58:42.400 And I bought the spigots online for about twelve dollars for two of them.

00:58:47.480 And I've got the video on how to build those that you can build them yourself.

00:58:52.540 It'll literally take you about twelve minutes to build one of those.

00:58:56.140 Now, you don't have to leave them set up like that.

00:58:58.900 You can keep them apart.

00:59:00.420 And then if the grid goes down or whatever, I mean, you can melt snow and put that in there.

00:59:05.060 Now, videos will show you that you can literally take stagnant swamp water, put it through your Berkey water filter, test your water.

00:59:14.700 And it's got zero microbes, zero microorganisms, and it's perfectly safe water.

00:59:19.920 Berkey is by far the world's best water filtration system in the world.

00:59:24.220 And it's not the fancy canister on the left that gives you the good water.

00:59:27.900 It's the filter.

00:59:29.340 And you can buy the filters directly from Berkey and have them shipped to your house.

00:59:32.920 All right.

00:59:35.620 So that all of the resources for everything so far will be on the resource pages.

00:59:41.300 Now, let's talk about livestock.

00:59:44.880 Hope I don't lose too many of you on this now.

00:59:47.840 We have an incubator, so we incubate our eggs and we get chicks.

00:59:53.220 Now, on the left, you wonder, how are baby chicks made? 1.00

00:59:57.400 Well, you've got a girl chicken on the left. 1.00

00:59:59.880 You've got a boy chicken on the right. 0.96

01:00:01.320 And that's the start of how babies are made.

01:00:03.860 No, really.

01:00:04.940 I just saw that picture there and I thought that was cute.

01:00:07.400 So we have dual purpose breed chickens.

01:00:11.140 We have barbed rock chickens like the ones on the right.

01:00:14.180 And then we also have golden comet chickens like the ones that you see here.

01:00:17.840 There's the hen on the left and the rooster on the right.

01:00:20.640 So we have dual purpose chickens for a reason.

01:00:23.440 They're prolific egg layers.

01:00:24.940 And for Canada, they do very well in the wintertime.

01:00:28.220 They season very well in the winter.

01:00:30.380 And for all the extra roosters that we get, we fatten them up and we butcher them.

01:00:35.820 What we do is we basically debone all the meat, pressure can the meat, and put the meat aside.

01:00:43.560 And for eggs, well, extra eggs, we sell the eggs and then we use the money to purchase feed for the chickens.

01:00:50.300 Now, goats, if you're really adventurous and you've got the land, goats will give you milk and cheese.

01:00:57.760 And the breeds are very versatile.

01:00:59.980 These are alpine goats.

01:01:01.180 And I've had, I don't have goats right now, but I used to have a goat dairy.

01:01:04.800 I think we used to milk around 12 to 16.

01:01:08.420 The goat on the left is a chamois color.

01:01:10.580 And in the alpine goat on the right is more of the traditional alpine color.

01:01:14.080 Then you've got the boar goats on the right, if you're interested in goats for meat.

01:01:19.020 And goat meat's actually fairly good.

01:01:20.820 And then the ones on the right are a son and breed.

01:01:23.740 They're also prolific milkers.

01:01:26.620 And you know what?

01:01:27.900 Goats have personality.

01:01:30.060 I know the Lord will put the sheep on his left and the goats on his right.

01:01:33.280 And I've had sheep in the past.

01:01:34.740 And I got to tell you, I'm sorry.

01:01:36.800 I would have goats over sheep any day.

01:01:38.460 And I know why the Lord calls us sheep, because we're not all that smart sometimes, you know?

01:01:43.700 So, and here's one just for fun.

01:01:50.800 And we also raise rabbits.

01:01:52.900 So we have Bunnyville.

01:01:54.660 We have California meat rabbits.

01:01:57.140 And we have speckled giant bucks.

01:01:59.780 And we just, actually just yesterday, picked up a California buck as well.

01:02:03.660 So these are some of our little bunnies.

01:02:05.440 And yes, they are cute.

01:02:06.540 And yes, I do play with my food.

01:02:09.080 That's the mama on the right. 1.00

01:02:10.700 And as a matter of fact, as of just two days ago, those little bunnies, I took that picture maybe four or five days ago.

01:02:16.280 Those bunnies are twice the size now already in just a few days.

01:02:24.060 So I've got some statistics there.

01:02:27.060 So you can see how much rabbits multiply.

01:02:31.020 As a matter of fact, I read just the other day,

01:02:32.860 if you had a buck rabbit and a doe rabbit, and you just let them be, and they've multiplied,

01:02:39.320 in four years, their offspring would total close to four million rabbits.

01:02:45.380 So just with what we have, that's a little bit of our operation there.

01:02:52.500 We have another little rabbit tree section there that I didn't show.

01:02:55.940 But just with what we have, my wife and I, we raise about 1,000 meats of rabbits a year,

01:03:01.520 just with the few breeding rabbits that we have.

01:03:05.720 And that's just the meat.

01:03:07.900 That's clean.

01:03:09.280 And it's, like I said, 20% digestible protein.

01:03:11.600 It's the highest protein meat that you can have.

01:03:15.880 Okay, so as we get ready to wrap up, what about right now?

01:03:19.080 What do we do right now?

01:03:20.380 I said it earlier, a dollar will buy you a dollar worth of stuff at the store.

01:03:24.880 So buy, buy, buy, buy.

01:03:26.840 Already some of our shelves are getting scarce.

01:03:30.840 We have to go online to see which gas stations here in Sydney, Nova Scotia, have gas sometimes,

01:03:39.460 because our gas stations are running out.

01:03:42.120 We are still able to buy some case lots of things right now.

01:03:46.240 But the supply chain will not last.

01:03:50.260 I'm part of a group called Canada Barter and Trade.

01:03:53.180 It's a national group that we have established here about a month and a half ago.

01:03:58.260 And the lady that started it is in Fort McMurray.

01:04:03.580 She owns a trucking company.

01:04:05.540 And I could tell you stories that she tells us every week.

01:04:08.300 They're shutting down their trucking supply because they cannot get DEF fluid,

01:04:12.560 as well as diesel oil to do their oil changes in their vehicles.

01:04:17.320 I looked for about six weeks to get some diesel oil for my tractor.

01:04:23.080 I use Rotella, can't get Rotella anymore. 0.95

01:04:25.580 So I got a cheap no-name brand, and I'm good for about three years for oil changes for my tractor.

01:04:30.840 It's getting scarce, folks.

01:04:32.640 So once the diesel trucks will no longer be on the road, the shelves will start getting bare.

01:04:38.700 So if you have the means right now, purchase as much as you can.

01:04:44.100 Fill your pantries, your spare bedrooms with as much supply as you can, and stock up.

01:04:51.640 Really stock up.

01:04:53.200 Remember the toilet paper shortage we had before?

01:04:55.580 Well, you know what?

01:04:56.400 It's coming.

01:04:57.480 Already there's places that are shutting down, like in China.

01:05:02.220 And, you know, countries like Greece and Venezuela have gone bankrupt.

01:05:05.980 So stock up while you can.

01:05:08.660 So we're getting close to the end, and I said I would bookend my presentation with a few things.

01:05:14.100 The World Economic Forum is not, you know, they are some of the causes to what's going on in the end right now, towards the end of what we're going through.

01:05:26.160 But in reality, growing stuff in your garden, preserving things, putting stuff in your pantry, and having a stock full of stuff is not really what's going to save us in the end.

01:05:41.880 I want to tell you a little something of what's, a little bit of history as to what exactly is going on.

01:05:49.980 And I have a lot of time to think and pray and meditate on this.

01:05:52.980 And by the way, that's my prayer bench.

01:05:54.400 This is kind of, this is where I live.

01:05:55.760 This is in my yard.

01:05:57.280 And I have time to sit on this prayer bench.

01:05:59.140 I know it looks a little crooked there, but really it's not.

01:06:01.140 And I should have mowed the grass around it before I took this picture, but.

01:06:05.640 Back in Genesis chapter 1 and 2, God made everything.

01:06:09.300 He created everything.

01:06:10.400 And after day 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, God said it was good.

01:06:14.480 And on day 6, when God made mankind, God said it was very good.

01:06:18.400 But in Genesis chapter 3, sin entered the world.

01:06:23.860 And in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, when God spoke to Satan, to the serpent, he made a promise of redemption.

01:06:32.820 When we get to Genesis chapter 6, verses 5 and 8, 5 to 8, this is what we read.

01:06:41.700 It's a sad story.

01:06:42.660 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought, everything they thought or imagined, was consistently and totally evil.

01:06:55.040 So the Lord was sorry that he had ever made them and put them on the earth.

01:06:58.600 It broke his heart.

01:07:00.560 And the Lord said, I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. 1.00

01:07:05.160 Yes, and I will destroy every living thing.

01:07:07.400 And all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky, I am sorry I ever made them.

01:07:16.140 So what happened?

01:07:18.080 I mean, that's on page 10 of my Bible.

01:07:20.140 So it would have been a really short Bible.

01:07:23.320 But then we have two words.

01:07:26.500 But Noah.

01:07:29.220 And had it not been from Noah, none of us would be here.

01:07:31.840 And what happened was sin was introduced in the world because Adam and Eve disobeyed God.

01:07:38.400 And God said, because now you've disobeyed me, there's going to be sin in the world, and there's going to be repercussions from that.

01:07:44.440 But I will offer salvation from that.

01:07:48.840 Genesis 3, verse 15.

01:07:51.160 God promised us a redeemer.

01:07:54.440 Fast forward in Matthew chapter 24.

01:07:57.200 God sent his son into the world to redeem us.

01:08:00.040 In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus, the son of God, is with his disciples, and they're leaving Jerusalem.

01:08:06.760 And as he's leaving the temple, his disciples say to him, they point out the temple buildings, and he responds to them.

01:08:13.820 Do you see all these buildings?

01:08:15.060 I tell you the truth.

01:08:16.560 They will be completely demolished.

01:08:19.640 Not one stone will be left on top of another.

01:08:21.960 And the disciples are surprised at that, and they say, whoa.

01:08:26.600 Tell us when will these things happen?

01:08:28.180 And what sign will signal you return at the end of the world?

01:08:34.600 That bothered them.

01:08:36.600 The end of the world will come.

01:08:39.040 What's it going to look like?

01:08:41.940 And you'd have to read Matthew chapter 24 to find out what's going to happen at the end of the world.

01:08:48.220 Now, let me pause here for a second.

01:08:49.500 Every two weeks we go and we have a rally here in Sydney.

01:08:52.760 We have strangers coming to us and say, you know, the World Economic Forum and the masking and the jabs that we realize something is wrong, but we can't really put our finger on it.

01:09:06.360 But we know there's this.

01:09:08.200 It's a spiritual battle.

01:09:09.920 Do you guys have any answers?

01:09:11.340 We say, yeah, as a matter of fact, we do.

01:09:17.700 And so in Matthew chapter 24, Jesus, one of the things he says, when you see the fig tree, the buds on the fig tree, you know that spring is coming.

01:09:26.780 So here are some of the things that Jesus says to them.

01:09:30.220 And in verse 37 of Matthew 24, he says, when the son of man returns, it will be like it was in the days of Noah.

01:09:38.280 Oh, it was bad in the days of Noah.

01:09:41.960 And it was so bad in the days of Noah that God destroyed the entire world. 0.96

01:09:47.160 And by the way, less than 40 years after Jesus said what he said about the temple, the emperor Titus walked into Jerusalem, ransacked the city and completely destroyed the temple.

01:10:01.160 So I'm going to wrap this up here, but in the book of Revelation, chapter 18, towards the very end of the world, the Bible tells us that there will be great deception and the great city Babylon will be destroyed.

01:10:21.060 And in Revelation 18, the latter part of verse 23, he says, for your merchants were the greatest in the world, and you deceived the nations with your sorceries.

01:10:38.600 That word sorceries in the Greek, and I say Greek because the New Testament was written mostly in Greek and Aramaic.

01:10:44.540 That word sorceries, that word sorceries, is translated pharmakia, from which we get our words pharmacy and pharmaceuticals.

01:10:54.600 What's going on in the world today?

01:10:57.700 The world is being deceived by pharmacies, the pharmaceuticals.

01:11:04.680 And what we have going on right now is a great deception, and it's the buds are on the trees.

01:11:12.800 And this is a foreshadowing of what's going to happen.

01:11:17.140 And God has promised us that there will be a time of great sorrow and a time of judgment on this earth.

01:11:25.380 But I want to say to you tonight, you know, I have zero fear of the future.

01:11:33.200 I have zero fear of death because this place is not my home.

01:11:37.080 And I know that I have a God that has prepared a place for me.

01:11:44.520 And what is coming has been prophesied through the book of Daniel and in the book of Revelation.

01:11:50.060 And we know that God has a plan.

01:11:53.320 And I know that this world is not my home.

01:11:55.180 And we are preparing right now for hardships and for hard times in coming.

01:12:00.820 We know that there's a seven-year tribulation when millions of people will just disappear one day.

01:12:05.140 And it will catch the world by shock and surprise.

01:12:10.640 But we don't have to be here for that.

01:12:12.320 And so at this point, you know, I just want to let you folks know that in the meantime, we're preparing and we're getting ready for hardships and hard times.

01:12:27.640 But like Tanya said earlier, we are seeing great victories.

01:12:33.100 We are seeing some important things be overturned.

01:12:36.220 And we don't know exactly how things will go in the courts in the long run.

01:12:43.300 However, we can be ready.

01:12:46.400 If the shelves go empty, we can be well prepared in the meantime.

01:12:52.200 But I wasn't kidding when I said to you folks, you know, you really need to be prepared.

01:13:02.620 You really need a guidebook.

01:13:07.600 And I want to encourage all of you tonight.

01:13:09.840 The most important thing that you can take from this presentation is not the size of the greenhouse you can build.

01:13:15.660 It's really you need God's word in your life.

01:13:18.900 And so that's the most important thing that you can take out of this presentation.

01:13:25.700 All right.

01:13:26.940 Wow, Dan.

01:13:28.680 I was going to go, amen, Pastor Dan.

01:13:32.520 Oh, that was an incredible presentation.

01:13:36.440 I was sitting here and just enjoying it.

01:13:38.440 I was writing my notes and and taking things in.

01:13:42.060 And so right now, for just a moment, this is one of the first times we've gone Facebook live.

01:13:46.980 And so I just want to encourage our viewers who are live on Facebook with us that you would go down to the description and make sure you join Action for Canada so that you will receive our weekly emails, calls to action, the empower our invites.

01:14:03.420 If you sign up, you automatically get sent these invites.

01:14:06.680 We're one of the only organizations in Canada with the amount of resources, really reaching out and facilitating and helping people within their communities.

01:14:16.640 And so we've always said that Action for Canada.

01:14:20.440 Sorry.

01:14:21.760 Sorry.

01:14:22.360 I had a little pop chewing on a cord.

01:14:24.440 Benny, bad Benny.

01:14:26.020 All right.

01:14:26.820 So that was fun.

01:14:28.080 All right.

01:14:28.520 So I've always said, you know, Action for Canada is an organization that believes that Canada was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.

01:14:37.900 And this is so important.

01:14:39.940 I know that somebody in the chat had said, you know, I'm a Buddhist to kind of get on with it.

01:14:45.060 And, you know, it doesn't matter what your belief system is.

01:14:48.300 If you could just take a moment to understand why this is relevant and important in Canada.

01:14:53.320 We have a very unique system of governance that is based on biblical principles and values.

01:15:00.640 That just happens to be a fact.

01:15:02.280 That's what Canada is founded on.

01:15:04.220 And if you take that and compare it to other nations that have different systems of belief and political systems, you've got to ask yourself the question, would I want to live there?

01:15:14.880 Would you want to live in one of the 57 Islamic majority countries in Pakistan, North Korea, China?

01:15:23.140 I think we could all agree the answer would be no.

01:15:26.380 And when a Christian nation is functioning well, when people have voted responsibly and cared about the core values of the people that they were voting into office, our nation thrives.

01:15:38.460 Nations have thrived.

01:15:40.260 And so, you know, we're not talking about this to offend anybody.

01:15:43.840 This is a reality for Canada.

01:15:47.200 And the government has tried for decades to diminish it because they know the only way to overtake Canada is to destroy it.

01:15:58.980 And that's why they're going after the churches.

01:16:02.000 That's why they are so intent on going after the pastors.

01:16:05.740 Because if they crush Christianity in Canada, you can kiss your rights goodbye because our Constitution, our Charter of Rights is based on biblical values as well as our rule of law.

01:16:18.480 And so if you can't sit for a moment instead of taking an offense and just realize that this is a reality, then we're all going to be in big trouble because we need to think about this when we're going into elections and really think about the core values.

01:16:33.180 And I know we've got good people, you know, who don't happen to be professing Christians, but there is a difference if they are embracing what the nation is founded on.

01:16:44.540 So that's one thing, Dan.

01:16:45.920 Thank you as well for finishing up with such an incredible word.

01:16:49.680 I really appreciate it.

01:16:51.220 Thank you to everybody who's joining us on Facebook, and we encourage you to continue to invite more people.

01:16:58.860 If you came in late, I want to let you know that next week we are going to have on a gentleman that was boldly coming back from Mexico and took on the border services and health officers and whoever else he needed to to assert his guaranteed rights.

01:17:15.820 And he was prepared with Action for Canada notices of liability.

01:17:20.100 And I really appreciate that.

01:17:22.040 So what we've done as well is we were spending last week and this week with our team, and we have developed an incredible notice of liability for cross-border and domestic travel.

01:17:35.160 So that should be out within the next couple of days that we'll post it on the notice of liability page under mobility, but we'll also be posting it in the call to action that's going to go out next week.

01:17:44.800 So that's pretty amazing.

01:17:46.360 All right.

01:17:47.160 And another thing, too, you know, the Pope has come to Canada.

01:17:50.900 I think he should be banned.

01:17:53.100 He's part of the global cabal.

01:17:55.180 And here he is, you know, all this apologizing to the indigenous people for something that took place decades ago.

01:18:03.540 But he has no problem with the prime minister persecuting Christians in this nation.

01:18:10.480 Not a word about that. 0.94

01:18:12.440 Not a word about not allowing Christian people to immigrate to Canada and who are seeking asylum to get out of wretched nations that are trying to kill them. 1.00

01:18:22.280 So, yeah, you know what? 0.82

01:18:23.820 Let's all just pause.

01:18:25.680 Don't get too excited, I think, about the Pope.

01:18:27.980 Hope he's not who he should be.

01:18:31.080 All right.

01:18:32.060 Okay, Dan, we're going to go into a time of Q&A.

01:18:36.440 And if anybody wants to ask a question, would you please raise your hand?

01:18:40.500 And then as well on the Zoom option at the bottom, you have the ability to type in a question there as well, which I know some of you have.

01:18:50.020 Terenzio, do we have any questions?

01:18:52.460 Yes, we do.

01:18:53.160 Anybody?

01:18:53.880 Okay.

01:18:54.600 First question is from Jackie.

01:18:56.480 Jackie, you should see a message pop up on your screen.

01:18:58.880 A newt.

01:19:00.720 Okay.

01:19:01.080 Quick question.

01:19:03.640 I do want to get a cold storage in my place, and I don't have that northwest corner with the window.

01:19:09.420 I've got a cabin with the walk-out basement where it's partially dug into a hill, and the rest of the cabin on the main floor is 12-inch logs.

01:19:23.560 And we've been trying to do – oh, can you close that one of my – it's loud.

01:19:26.500 But it's – we've been trying to figure out how we can get a cold storage right inside the walk-out basement, whether it's going to get cold enough and needs – anyway, I'm talking too long.

01:19:36.800 I think you know what I mean.

01:19:38.220 It needs ventilation.

01:19:44.140 Yeah, so I think that would work.

01:19:46.160 I'll tell you something that's really amazing to insulate that without going to spend a whole lot of money is bubble foil.

01:19:53.400 And you can get bubble foil at any building supply store.

01:19:57.600 It's the really, really thin insulation stuff.

01:20:00.540 It's silver on one side, and it's like bubble wrap, but it's bubble foil.

01:20:05.080 And if you just put that on the inside of your place – as a matter of fact, if you go to the YouTube channels that I recommend, and the one says must watch, go on that one there.

01:20:17.420 And Jim talks about bubble foil, and you can see how he insulates just underneath his ceiling in his cabin, and it does an amazing job.

01:20:27.520 So that should work for you.

01:20:30.280 Yeah.

01:20:30.920 Do we bubble foil – yeah, so we'll bubble foil the ceiling and the inside of the walls and the – okay, thank you.

01:20:36.020 That's awesome.

01:20:37.880 Good luck.

01:20:38.360 Okay.

01:20:39.080 Thank you.

01:20:40.340 Thank you.

01:20:41.300 Next question.

01:20:42.680 Next question is from Claudia.

01:20:44.840 Claudia, you should see a message pop up on your screen for those who would like to ask a question.

01:20:49.340 If you go down to the bottom of your Zoom and raise your hand.

01:20:53.920 Hello, Tanya.

01:20:54.700 Hi.

01:20:54.920 Hi.

01:20:56.140 Hi.

01:20:56.760 What's your question?

01:20:58.440 Yes.

01:20:59.120 So where I live, I don't have a balcony.

01:21:01.920 It's like the main floor of the house, but it's quite tiny.

01:21:05.680 In case when there is a power grid is going down, so Dan, do you have any ideas on power generators that I can use, I can buy?

01:21:19.980 Power generators.

01:21:21.480 Well, right now, you know, unless you're going with a gas one, which you probably wouldn't want to use in your balcony.

01:21:28.720 I don't offhand, no.

01:21:36.040 That's kind of a tough one.

01:21:37.880 Yeah.

01:21:38.560 Especially in the wintertime, people would be asking that question because I know in large apartment buildings, when the power goes out, those get cold.

01:21:46.880 And, I mean, if there was an easy answer for that one, people just wouldn't get cold in those cases.

01:21:52.700 But, yeah, unless someone has an answer for that, they can post something in the chat.

01:22:00.260 Someone's saying generator solar by Jackery.

01:22:03.640 So maybe look that up online, solar generator by Jackery.

01:22:07.640 So that may be a good option for you if your people are saying yes.

01:22:12.460 Okay.

01:22:13.740 Good.

01:22:15.760 Thank you for the people in the chat.

01:22:18.440 That's right.

01:22:19.160 Yeah.

01:22:19.980 Okay.

01:22:20.560 Transio, next question.

01:22:21.740 Yes, next question is from Henry.

01:22:24.200 And as I was saying before, for those who would like to ask a question, please raise your hand virtually below on the bottom of Zoom, and we will put you in queue.

01:22:32.380 Henry, you should see a message pop up on your screen to unmute.

01:22:36.040 Okay.

01:22:36.560 Hi, Dan.

01:22:37.460 Hi, Tanya.

01:22:38.960 Hi.

01:22:39.460 My question is, I got my Mylar bags today for five-pound tails.

01:22:44.520 But once I put the oxygen, I don't know what they're called.

01:22:53.100 They remove the oxygen in the Mylar bags, and I seal it.

01:22:56.680 Do I need to put in a five-gallon pail?

01:22:58.720 Because I see on YouTube, they're using five-gallon tails with Mylar bags, but I'm just curious, is it necessary to use the five-gallon tail plus Mylar bag, you know?

01:23:14.060 So I think the idea with the five-gallon tail is the protection of the Mylar bags themselves.

01:23:22.560 If you bounce those bags around too much, the seal can be broken.

01:23:27.420 And I think that's the main thing, right?

01:23:30.640 And it also keeps them in a dark place.

01:23:33.000 So you don't necessarily have to.

01:23:35.900 And I know that the bothersome thing with those pails is that they're round, you know?

01:23:41.340 So if you can find something square.

01:23:44.020 So I know some people sometimes use the square buckets.

01:23:46.940 So you can, depending on what you have in your bags, you can stack your stuff in square pails better.

01:23:52.980 So that may be a better option for you.

01:23:54.600 Yeah, so what I was trying to say, oxygen absorbers is what I have inside the bags, plus the seal.

01:24:04.800 Put them in a five-gallon tail.

01:24:06.680 Okay, thank you.

01:24:08.100 Yeah, you're welcome.

01:24:10.260 Okay, somebody had asked as well.

01:24:12.400 I don't often get to keep up on the chat, but sometimes I catch something.

01:24:16.940 It says, which do you recommend, canning or bottling?

01:24:19.740 Well, it all depends what it is.

01:24:25.980 Again, people will have to educate themselves as to what it is they're doing.

01:24:31.080 So there's high acidic foods and there's low acidic foods.

01:24:35.440 So I don't really want to give this advice publicly so that somebody doesn't get sick and say, well, Dan said to do it this way.

01:24:41.820 So if someone, for example, is canning tomatoes, my recommendation is go to, there's a Canadian, and I should have written it down here, I looked at it just the other day.

01:24:52.040 There's an actual Canadian site that you can go to that will tell you, if you're doing this, you need to pressure can it at so many pounds per pressure for so long.

01:25:04.820 If you're doing jams and jellies, this I can say, you can just water bath it for 10 minutes.

01:25:10.140 Okay.

01:25:11.820 Okay, perfect.

01:25:12.700 Thank you.

01:25:13.740 Okay, Patricia has asked.

01:25:15.000 And someone, by the way, was just saying that mylar bags are not rodent proof as well.

01:25:18.620 So that, to answer Henry's question, that's if you've got little rodents that like to eat too.

01:25:25.980 Yeah.

01:25:27.040 If it's not a sealed area and secure from rodents, that's something to consider.

01:25:32.840 Okay, so Patricia has asked, I don't want to eat meat, but I guess I would if I were starving.

01:25:39.260 What would you say about rabbits makes sense when there is no food, but is there a way to kill them humanely?

01:25:45.440 Yes, absolutely.

01:25:48.060 And I mean, you know, we wouldn't kill them humanely if there wasn't.

01:25:53.220 But I do have a link also on a resource, a YouTube channel.

01:25:59.460 I forget what it's called offhand now, but it's some rabbit YouTube channel.

01:26:05.500 And on one of the videos, the gentleman shows you how to butcher rabbits humanely.

01:26:12.960 And we say butcher humanely as opposed to kill them humanely.

01:26:16.560 It sounds more humane. 0.99

01:26:17.940 Well, it does.

01:26:20.980 And, you know, it's tough for people to wrap, you know, their head around.

01:26:24.880 Oops, just a second.

01:26:25.840 I want to make sure I'm not sharing my screen.

01:26:28.440 But I had grabbed something earlier that somebody had posted regarding a Bible verse.

01:26:35.400 You know, there's some people that make a choice not to eat meat.

01:26:39.960 And, oh, you know what?

01:26:42.140 I think I've lost it.

01:26:45.180 Oh, no, I didn't.

01:26:46.020 I'm in the wrong area.

01:26:46.880 And it was kind of interesting, right, as we're thinking about this, because I know it's a sensitive topic for some.

01:26:52.220 But in Genesis 1, verse 29 and 30, it said,

01:26:54.880 Then God said, Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth,

01:27:00.520 and every tree whose fruit contains seed.

01:27:04.980 They will be yours for food.

01:27:06.680 And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth,

01:27:11.740 everything that has breath of life in it,

01:27:13.800 I have given every green plant for food.

01:27:16.240 And it was so.

01:27:17.680 And, you know, and so how do you feel from that section, you know, where people are sensitive towards eating meat?

01:27:29.020 Well, you know, it is a choice.

01:27:33.520 I was just thinking of the scripture as well, where, you know, Peter, the apostle Peter was, I forget which town he was in there in the New Testament.

01:27:45.820 And being a Jew, the Jewish custom was that they were not to go to the Gentiles.

01:27:50.280 And while the meal was being prepared for him, he saw a vision where the sheep was lowered from heaven three times.

01:27:57.160 And the Lord said, Eat.

01:27:58.740 And there was unclean animals, according to the Jewish customs. 0.99

01:28:01.880 And his response was, Oh, no, Lord, I've never eaten anything unclean.

01:28:05.720 And the Lord spoke to him and said, Do not call anything unclean that I'm offering to you.

01:28:12.100 And the next verse says, In so doing, the Lord declared all things clean.

01:28:16.160 And there was, you know, there was meat on there, right?

01:28:20.140 So, I mean, we don't live according to the Old Testament law anymore.

01:28:26.600 And if some people want to live in the Old Testament days, and that's a choice that they have to make.

01:28:32.360 But we live under grace now.

01:28:33.860 We don't live under the law anymore. 0.75

01:28:37.040 And, you know what, I still, to take it to the ridiculous as well,

01:28:43.380 I still meet people that think that meat comes from the store.

01:28:50.800 You know, I mean, we have friends that come over here.

01:28:54.000 They come to our home Bible study group.

01:28:55.780 And they come and they look at our little farm.

01:28:58.520 I was at my son's place yesterday in the mainland.

01:29:01.060 And he's only got like two acres.

01:29:03.080 But he's got 150 animals on there.

01:29:05.480 You know, they're chickens and turkeys and ducks and pigs.

01:29:09.240 But he's raising, you know, he's got six children.

01:29:11.400 So, he's raising, like, I mean, he's my son.

01:29:14.000 He grew up on the farm.

01:29:15.060 He's my third oldest child.

01:29:16.920 And so, he sees kind of the quality of meats that are in the stores.

01:29:22.380 He knows about the fake meat that Bill Gates wants to bring.

01:29:25.460 So, he's like, uh-uh, no, no, nay, nay.

01:29:28.160 I'm going to feed my own children properly.

01:29:31.720 So, if some people don't want to eat meat,

01:29:35.100 but they'll have to decide at some point how they're going to get their protein.

01:29:39.280 And I'm not going to get into this big, long debate.

01:29:41.600 But at the same time, what else are they eating?

01:29:45.260 Are they eating healthy?

01:29:47.260 Yeah.

01:29:48.100 Well, and a lot of people are subsidizing their diets with nuts and things like that.

01:29:52.980 So, okay.

01:29:53.720 So, we'll carry on with some questions.

01:29:57.220 I have a 12 by 24 space under tree cover.

01:30:00.200 Can I raise chickens and rabbits together in this space?

01:30:02.980 You can.

01:30:06.320 And I've done that before, too, even in indoor spaces.

01:30:11.440 So, the only thing you've got to be careful of, though,

01:30:14.260 is rabbits are very susceptible to some diseases.

01:30:18.160 And a chicken's poop is very – it could be very toxic to rabbits if they step and walk on it.

01:30:26.200 So, rabbits have a very fragile health.

01:30:29.420 So, I would – you could raise them together, but I would keep them separate.

01:30:33.180 I wouldn't let the rabbits kind of walk all over where chickens walk.

01:30:36.800 Okay.

01:30:37.060 But you can have – if you're going to have rabbits in cages, I would have the cages elevated.

01:30:42.520 And, you know, you can have the chickens underneath.

01:30:44.660 I've done that indoor, like in barns where, you know,

01:30:47.900 because I used to raise like 250 rabbits at a time.

01:30:50.360 And, you know, I had like elevated cages inside in barns like in the wintertime

01:30:55.160 and chickens down below.

01:30:57.160 Okay.

01:30:57.980 All right.

01:30:58.540 Next question.

01:30:59.300 How tall should we make our greenhouse?

01:31:01.680 Does it need one of those roof vents or better to have windows for crosswinds?

01:31:09.120 So, my greenhouse is eight feet tall.

01:31:13.260 I wouldn't necessarily grow – go any lower, but it all depends what you're going to grow.

01:31:17.800 So, if you're going to grow like beets and carrots and turnip, it doesn't need to be eight feet tall, you know,

01:31:22.740 because I – like I've got tomatoes in there right now.

01:31:25.420 But if you're just going to grow root vegetables, it doesn't need to be that tall.

01:31:29.680 You should have cross-ventilation for when it gets really, really hot, obviously,

01:31:34.440 because heat is just as bad, if not worse, than cold.

01:31:38.600 Heat will kill your crop like, you know, in one day.

01:31:42.780 So, you can have windows.

01:31:44.300 I have a door on one side, and then on the other side, because mine is a shed-style roof,

01:31:48.520 I've got just a little window that opens up.

01:31:51.160 And, you know, we're in Cape Breton.

01:31:52.580 We're surrounded by the ocean, so it's always windy here, so we always have a good cross-breeze.

01:31:57.100 So, you should have a cross-breeze that goes through.

01:32:00.360 And if you don't, you can always put a fan in, like, you know, a 12- to 16-inch fan that just moves there.

01:32:07.740 The main thing is you don't want to get mildew that goes in your – that grows in your plants.

01:32:12.220 Okay.

01:32:14.500 We acquired some sweet potato shoots rooted from a large mama sweet potato.

01:32:20.020 I planted them in the garden today.

01:32:22.280 Is it enough time for them to mature?

01:32:24.600 We live in southern Ontario between Chatham and Sarnia.

01:32:29.340 Okay.

01:32:30.200 Yeah, so you may have time.

01:32:31.880 So, what you may have to do, though, is depending on when your first frost date is – ours is early.

01:32:38.340 It's usually, like, September 9th or 10th – you may have to just get some straw, like, if you can find some straw now.

01:32:46.220 And if you're – because the sweet potatoes do take a long time.

01:32:50.480 You may have to just cover them with a good 12- to 18-inch layer of straw just so the frost won't get to them.

01:32:58.440 But keep an eye on them so, you know, you may have enough time.

01:33:01.380 Okay, perfect.

01:33:03.900 We live in an apartment without balcony.

01:33:06.220 Would you advise some ways to plant and avoid the insects?

01:33:12.060 And they're in an apartment building?

01:33:14.260 Yeah.

01:33:16.040 Insects?

01:33:16.820 Well, insects shouldn't be too much of an issue, I don't think.

01:33:20.580 I'm wondering what type of insects there would be, like, that could bother them.

01:33:26.960 All right.

01:33:27.240 Maybe whoever asked that question, if you could go to the Q&A and be more specific, we could give you a better answer.

01:33:33.760 All right.

01:33:34.640 I've got quite a number.

01:33:35.840 I'm not reading or texting my friends.

01:33:38.380 I'm looking at questions coming in on my phone.

01:33:41.360 All right.

01:33:41.680 How to keep the underground cellar cold and dry rather than cold and damp where potatoes or garlic get moldy?

01:33:54.080 Okay.

01:33:54.780 Well, garlic, you don't want damp.

01:33:57.860 Okay.

01:33:58.200 I see the question.

01:33:59.080 Yeah.

01:33:59.340 So you would have to put a lot of insulation on the outside of whatever container you have, I assume.

01:34:06.500 And then you'd have to have some sort of ventilation system, I would assume.

01:34:10.820 That's something you'll have to YouTube.

01:34:13.560 It used to be Google and YouTube were my two best friends.

01:34:16.420 Google, not so much anymore, but YouTube still is a fairly good friend of mine.

01:34:19.960 You'll have to YouTube that one.

01:34:21.540 Because usually, cold storage, it's fairly damp.

01:34:26.320 Yeah.

01:34:26.600 And the other thing as well is making sure that it's sealed.

01:34:31.380 My sister has done, she's building a home. 0.94

01:34:34.160 They bought some land.

01:34:35.520 And while they were moving and building, they had shipping containers.

01:34:39.080 And so they actually cut the front of a shipping container off.

01:34:43.260 It was just one that was too long.

01:34:45.020 And they've created a root cellar out of it.

01:34:47.680 And so they put it into the land and they're going to seal it with a really good door.

01:34:51.820 And they've built wonderful shelves in there.

01:34:53.360 They had to secure it, though, because once you put the dirt on, there was a little bending, which wasn't looking good.

01:34:59.000 But you can.

01:34:59.560 You can be unique.

01:35:00.740 And that's if you've got a piece of property where you could do that and you're able to dig under the ground.

01:35:07.020 That's also another way.

01:35:08.840 All right.

01:35:09.120 And Terenzio, did you have a question as well?

01:35:13.800 We have one question.

01:35:18.820 Sorry, I did have one personal question that I would like to ask.

01:35:21.400 But we do have one last question here, if you would like to take that first.

01:35:25.340 Oh, OK.

01:35:25.900 Either way, you go.

01:35:27.040 All right.

01:35:27.300 So we'll go with the audience first.

01:35:30.680 Last question we have here is, and I apologize if I don't pronounce the name right, Cheyenne.

01:35:36.020 That's C-H.

01:35:37.960 Shane.

01:35:38.560 I believe it's Shane.

01:35:39.100 Is it Shane?

01:35:39.800 OK, I apologize.

01:35:40.640 Shane, you should see a message pop up on your screen.

01:35:42.620 And then I'll ask my question.

01:35:43.640 Thank you.

01:35:46.060 I got it.

01:35:47.260 Can you hear me, Dan?

01:35:48.900 I can hear you, my friend, Shane Pendley.

01:35:51.780 Good, good.

01:35:52.620 OK, Dan.

01:35:53.700 Dan, as I told you on a PM message a while ago, we were planning on doing an outdoor greenhouse as well.

01:36:05.980 Now, what I'm using is going to be using an old Shelter Logic grass frame.

01:36:16.880 It's 20 by 14 by, I think it's about 12 feet high.

01:36:26.240 I'm wondering what type of plastic or what thickness of plastic would be best to cover this with to be able to make it, my wife wants to grow year round. 1.00

01:36:38.500 So I'm just wondering about what thickness of plastic and also what would be the best route to heat it during winter.

01:36:49.260 OK, so you definitely want UV coated plastic.

01:36:55.160 You want at least a six mil plastic and you can get those at, you're in BC, right, Shane?

01:37:04.420 No, we're in Ontario.

01:37:06.740 You're in Ontario.

01:37:07.280 OK, yeah.

01:37:08.400 So around here, like I think I'm not sure if Home Depot carries those, but we have garden centers here that will bring it in or have it.

01:37:19.980 And if you want to grow year round, the best thing to do, if you have that kind of a building, if you can put a layer of plastic on the outside and a layer of plastic on the inside,

01:37:29.280 so you have a dead airspace, even if it's like three, two or three inches, that will be a natural insulator in there.

01:37:35.200 As for heat stores, if you can go like on Craigslist or Marketplace or whatever, this may be a little bit of work, though.

01:37:44.160 If you can find an old air forced air furnace for sale for like a couple hundred bucks.

01:37:48.820 If you know somebody that does oil changes or whatever and they can get you all of the used oil that you can find,

01:37:58.500 you can run it through a few filters, and a friend of mine does this, you get a bit of a bigger nozzle on the furnace and run that furnace.

01:38:08.560 It costs you nothing in fuel, just a little bit of electricity to run the blower fan.

01:38:12.980 That sounds great.

01:38:17.380 Perfect.

01:38:19.120 I'm a dealer in an automotive lubrication company, so I do get my used oil.

01:38:31.220 So that would be great.

01:38:31.860 There you go.

01:38:32.920 Awesome.

01:38:33.440 Perfect.

01:38:34.480 Okay.

01:38:34.840 And just let me mention, too, Tanya, someone was mentioning in the chat they can't find my YouTube channel.

01:38:39.300 I do have a YouTube channel, but it's like a personal channel with, like, all of my kids growing up and that.

01:38:46.100 So I personally don't have a YouTube channel, but I do have just the list of suggested YouTube channels that I follow.

01:38:54.640 I follow, like, 110, but I only put, like, maybe six or eight in the resource.

01:38:59.660 Right.

01:38:59.820 And on Action for Canada's website now, we've created a food section,

01:39:06.340 and Dan's information is going to be posted on that page,

01:39:09.840 and we'll continue to provide information as we come across it that will be helpful to all of you.

01:39:15.340 So when Dan has a good link or a good video, he can send it our way,

01:39:18.840 and we'll post it on Action for Canada if that's helpful to you.

01:39:22.140 Okay, Terenzio.

01:39:23.860 Yes.

01:39:24.320 What's your question, sir?

01:39:25.140 I have a personal question, being Italian and growing a garden all my life with my folks.

01:39:30.540 I've actually just recently learned a couple of different hacks,

01:39:33.340 and I'm wondering what your thought is on this.

01:39:35.120 First off, obviously, we want to stay away from pesticides,

01:39:38.340 especially ones where you have to buy because they might not even be available anymore.

01:39:42.740 One hack is to use an aspirin.

01:39:45.120 I don't know the exact amount, but you use an aspirin,

01:39:48.240 and you can spray it on your plants, specifically tomatoes.

01:39:51.120 And what it does is it kicks the plant into this hyper mode where it builds up itself,

01:39:55.760 where it could withstand a lot of disease.

01:39:58.640 The other one is, I believe it's baking soda.

01:40:01.220 And what it does is it, once you spray it onto the plant,

01:40:04.720 it creates a barrier where if spores or fungus starts to grow on it,

01:40:09.740 they actually have to eat through the baking soda first,

01:40:13.000 what actually kills them because it's a salt.

01:40:16.000 Just wondering what your thoughts are on going the organic way to protect your plants.

01:40:22.720 Absolutely.

01:40:23.500 So the aspirin I've not heard of, baking soda, I have.

01:40:26.860 What a lot of people do with tomatoes as well is put Epsom salt around the plant.

01:40:32.700 And the other thing that works that's organic as well is food-grade diatomaceous herb.

01:40:38.780 And you can get that at a farm feed store.

01:40:43.000 And we use that for chickens as well, like in a container,

01:40:47.000 and they give themselves a dust bath.

01:40:49.020 And it's a natural deloucer for them as well.

01:40:51.720 I think it's time for you to start a YouTube channel, brother.

01:40:54.280 Thank you very much for your answer.

01:40:56.980 In my spare time, yeah.

01:40:58.280 This is awesome.

01:40:59.260 Yeah.

01:40:59.500 Well, we're going to have to have you on again.

01:41:01.120 I'm going to start maybe doing some specials.

01:41:03.080 So, Dan, that would probably be helpful to people.

01:41:04.960 Thank you, Terenzio.

01:41:05.720 That was an awesome subject to bring up.

01:41:08.860 Okay, how much, oh, yeah, somebody is saying, how much time do we have to prepare?

01:41:15.140 I'd say start preparing now.

01:41:17.560 Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, like, you know, it's going on 11 o'clock at night here.

01:41:23.660 So, first thing tomorrow morning, start.

01:41:26.920 I mean, get a grocery cart and start.

01:41:29.380 I mean, I wish I could show you kind of what we've been doing here.

01:41:32.440 But non-perishable dry goods, you know.

01:41:36.180 I mean, here we can still get, like, cans of stuff for, like, a dollar.

01:41:40.520 You know, cans of beans and bags of beans and things, like, just start now.

01:41:49.840 You know, it may be too late in your area to put a garden in, but find somebody who's

01:41:54.940 got gardens in right now or find some, like, for us to get fruit here in Nova Scotia, we

01:42:01.920 basically have to go down to the Annapolis Valley.

01:42:03.920 So, we're planning to go down with a large vehicle and get, like, the big bushel baskets

01:42:08.820 and the big crates of apples.

01:42:10.580 Like, we're going into Annapolis together.

01:42:12.300 Let me just say this here.

01:42:14.980 Because we've got so many chapters across Canada that just in our chapter meetings on Mondays

01:42:20.920 and our core chapter meetings here on Thursdays, we have groups with Action for Canada that

01:42:25.820 are already doing this.

01:42:27.580 So, if anybody is on the call right now tonight and you're not connected with a chapter, find

01:42:33.800 a chapter that you can connect with and start asking questions.

01:42:38.080 Because we've got communities here in Nova Scotia that are already pulling together.

01:42:42.320 We're already doing some of this.

01:42:44.300 And, you know, we've got folks that are elderly that can't do this.

01:42:47.920 We've got other people that aren't able to do this.

01:42:50.960 So, we're doing this now.

01:42:53.340 And we have to connect.

01:42:56.280 I mean, winter, before you know it, winter will be here.

01:42:59.760 So, we have to have our ducks in a row.

01:43:02.500 So, the other thing, too, is our economy.

01:43:04.900 I mean, our economy is all signs point to, I mean, Canada has agreed to start using the

01:43:11.500 digital currency the 1st of January.

01:43:13.620 So, for that to happen, our economy has to crash by the end of the year.

01:43:17.660 So, prepare now.

01:43:20.460 Well, yeah.

01:43:21.540 And we're doing everything that we can to reasonably push back.

01:43:25.840 But it has to be a nation of noncompliance with the citizens.

01:43:31.240 It's a long, honored tradition that when tyrannical governments rise up that, you know, that the

01:43:38.120 citizens come out and do not comply.

01:43:40.260 And we are trying our best, working day and night, to educate and to provide communities

01:43:45.620 and grow those up.

01:43:46.500 But 70 people in a chapter is a whole lot different in having a voice than 1,000.

01:43:52.780 We've got, like I said earlier, the elections coming up in the fall in four provinces, BC,

01:43:58.220 Ontario, Manitoba, and PEI.

01:44:00.560 And we have the power to take back any municipality if we can get the community involved and school

01:44:09.040 trustee seats, right?

01:44:11.360 So, please get connected.

01:44:13.340 Help us out.

01:44:14.720 Patiently wait as we are going to just really get back to vetting and get chapters into.

01:44:19.880 We want to be in all 338 of the, what would be federal writings if we had a federal election,

01:44:25.460 which could come this fall as well.

01:44:27.360 But we want to be beyond that into every community.

01:44:29.680 Wherever there's a school board, wherever there's a township, I think we should be there

01:44:34.220 and working together.

01:44:35.640 Okay, a couple more questions, Dan, because as I said, as you said, it is late there.

01:44:39.900 We were just talking about how to prepare and buy, buy, buy food.

01:44:43.600 What are the best canned goods, I would want to say, as organic as possible that you could

01:44:48.360 get?

01:44:49.600 Do we want to stay away from Campbell's or do we want to buy whatever we can get right now?

01:44:55.860 Well, I'd say get whatever you can get right now.

01:45:00.300 We're getting stuff that goes on sale and you can get in case lots.

01:45:05.120 You know, like I planted a lot of tomatoes this year, but just in case, because you never

01:45:09.800 know what can happen.

01:45:10.840 You know, like you can get the really big cans of tomatoes, like diced tomatoes, spiced tomatoes

01:45:15.360 or whatever, pasta sauces and that.

01:45:17.820 We can get the really big bags of pasta right now for $1.49, you know, so dry goods like

01:45:26.500 that.

01:45:26.820 So things that you can throw a meal together, you know, and if you can, you know, can some

01:45:33.200 meats and stuff like that.

01:45:34.160 I mean, it's easy enough to put a pasta meal together.

01:45:38.680 So just things like that.

01:45:40.840 Right.

01:45:41.380 My wife can't eat certain beans and lentils and that, but like bags of beans and lentils, 1.00

01:45:45.540 you can still get the big bags for like under $2.

01:45:47.700 You know, so you can get like, you know, like a, like a Rubbermaid tote full of stuff like

01:45:53.720 that.

01:45:54.060 You know, you're ahead of the game.

01:45:55.500 And I was just going, yeah, I was going to mention that as well.

01:45:57.980 Um, for people who are in apartments, generally you have a storage area somewhere, you know,

01:46:04.000 that you could be provided or townhomes and, uh, or your crawl space by Rubbermaid containers

01:46:09.680 and make sure that if it's not a canned good, that you store your good in there.

01:46:14.260 Because, you know, just like that, for whatever reason, you may not have had rodent problems,

01:46:18.640 but once you start bringing food around, you will.

01:46:21.980 And, uh, but if you have it sealed or in garbage cans, clean garbage cans, store those in

01:46:27.520 your crawl space or wherever you're going to have the opportunity, of course, the Rubbermaid

01:46:31.440 bins are great for stacking and for labeling.

01:46:34.620 I would not label, uh, food items and things.

01:46:38.380 A lot of times, if you have these apartments, you have a caged area, you don't want people

01:46:42.520 knowing what you've got stored, stored, put Christmas decorations on it or Easter or something,

01:46:47.740 but don't make it easy for people.

01:46:50.220 There could be the potential and not to scare anybody, but have some hard times coming.

01:46:54.540 Uh, somebody has asked, how long should we be preparing for?

01:46:57.920 We don't know, a year.

01:46:59.700 Uh, I am, you know, buying extra because I've got kids, uh, who don't necessarily have spaces

01:47:05.780 to, to store what's going to be needed.

01:47:08.700 And, um, so you know what?

01:47:10.240 We just, we just have to prepare.

01:47:11.620 We have to be prepared to help our neighbors, right?

01:47:14.200 It's going to be a horrible thing to, to have enough food just for yourself.

01:47:18.400 Um, but wouldn't it be amazing to have, uh, have an abundance that you could have a ministry

01:47:23.060 sharing with your neighbors in your community?

01:47:25.820 Um, okay, Dan, I know that it's super busy there.

01:47:28.880 Uh, Terenzio, did you say we had one more hand up?

01:47:32.600 Yes, we do.

01:47:33.980 We have, uh, one question, actually a few more if we have time.

01:47:37.140 But first one, last one that we did have is from Mel.

01:47:40.300 Mel, uh, you should see a message pop up on your screen.

01:47:42.860 Hi, thank you for taking my call.

01:47:48.800 Um, and you just, can you hear me okay?

01:47:51.820 Yes.

01:47:52.280 Yes. 0.99

01:47:52.800 Shoot. 0.96

01:47:53.660 Can you hear me okay? 1.00

01:47:54.880 We can hear you.

01:47:55.700 Yes.

01:47:56.660 Okay, sorry, my Wi-Fi's glitchy.

01:47:59.300 I know, thank you, you've covered a lot of the food stuff.

01:48:01.620 My last, my original question was going to be, um, how long do we store?

01:48:06.120 I mean, honestly, our prepper group here in Saskatchewan is, some even have their backpacks

01:48:11.020 ready and they're going to go on snowshoes.

01:48:12.860 And I'm like, if it's that bad, I can't, I can't manage.

01:48:16.640 So here's my question.

01:48:18.120 Two questions, if I can ask.

01:48:19.960 Water, any suggestions?

01:48:22.060 How much?

01:48:22.860 I know that's a tough one, but water.

01:48:24.980 And then I know this, you're largely speaking food or mostly, but if you even can comment

01:48:29.800 on communications, um, this just kind of fits into the whole, if everything goes down

01:48:34.740 and Roger's going down, how does a, whatever, $4 billion company go down?

01:48:39.640 How?

01:48:40.160 I've got kids that are going to be in BC in school and I'm stuck in Saskatchewan.

01:48:43.600 What do we do?

01:48:46.380 Okay, so water is a big one.

01:48:48.100 And I touched on that a little bit because, you know, you can buy all the water you want,

01:48:51.520 but water's hard to carry and water's hard to come by.

01:48:54.840 So I mentioned Berkey, if you go to the Berkey website, uh, and if we're talking, for example,

01:49:00.680 winter, I mean, uh, and then I've got on there as well, uh, the, the rocket stove.

01:49:06.000 So in the middle of winter, you can build a tiny little rocket stove out of a couple

01:49:11.080 of soup cans, super easy to do, or you can build a fire.

01:49:15.180 You know, if you're out in snowshoes with a backpack, I mean, you're going to have to

01:49:18.580 get creative that way.

01:49:19.760 You melt snow or melt some ice.

01:49:21.940 If it's winter and there's snow outside, you're, that's how we're going to have to do it.

01:49:26.080 As for storing water, like in a home or whatever, um, if you have, if you can store some water,

01:49:33.000 I mean, store as much as you can.

01:49:34.760 Water's still fairly cheap right now.

01:49:36.520 But as for the Berkey filter, you can get the little Berkey filters.

01:49:40.300 Some of them are the size of this glass.

01:49:42.000 So if you can get something that small, you know, you'll, you'll pay a few bucks for

01:49:46.880 it, but you can filter just about any water with it.

01:49:49.520 If you melt some snow, dump it in the Berkey, uh, someone's just putting, uh, Berkey cells

01:49:54.740 in an individual bottle with its own filter that you can use on the go.

01:49:57.720 You can just, you know, scoop it in a river, in a lake or whatever.

01:50:01.800 And there you go.

01:50:02.560 You've got clean water on the go.

01:50:04.160 As for communication, that's a big one because we do know that the cell towers can go down.

01:50:09.780 Now, we also know there's been rumors that there are some people groups and that, that

01:50:14.420 will be taking down the 5G towers.

01:50:16.380 Now, not our groups, but there are some groups that will take down those 5G towers.

01:50:21.280 People are talking about ham radios.

01:50:22.820 Well, not everybody will have a ham radio or know how to use a ham radio.

01:50:26.260 So it's important to get your communication alternatives done now.

01:50:31.200 Now, so for example, in, in our group, we're, we're in the process of establishing, uh, okay.

01:50:37.720 So if the grid goes down and the communication goes down, we're all going to meet at so-and-so's

01:50:42.940 house or, you know, or at the church or someplace.

01:50:47.860 So we have that set up.

01:50:49.980 Uh, now, if you have family or children or whatever in a different province, uh, that's

01:50:57.360 just something you're going to have to try to figure out it like now, you know, we'll

01:51:02.280 have to just figure this out now.

01:51:08.860 It's not much of an answer.

01:51:10.620 CB radios or whatever.

01:51:11.980 I mean, we don't know what they plan to do or how they plan to do it.

01:51:17.600 Uh, you know, an EMP will, will destroy a lot of different types of communication.

01:51:25.920 Okay.

01:51:26.740 Super.

01:51:28.140 Am I, am I muted?

01:51:30.140 Trendsy or I'm on?

01:51:31.120 Nope.

01:51:31.300 You're on.

01:51:32.300 Okay.

01:51:32.800 I wasn't quite sure.

01:51:34.180 Um, all right, Dan, I was just wanting so bad to make sure that we're answering everybody's

01:51:39.180 questions and then to wrap up, I think we'll wrap up now.

01:51:42.340 Um, others have mentioned about, uh, storing vitamins and of course, uh, supplies.

01:51:49.400 Um, sorry, I was just trying to remember what kind and supplements as well.

01:51:52.940 And then as well to make sure that you have first aid, you should be pretty much prepared

01:51:57.600 for anything.

01:51:58.620 Um, pick up, um, it, like if there's a wound and it needs stitching, pick up whatever you

01:52:03.660 need for that.

01:52:04.260 You may not have, uh, the ability to do that, but I think when the time comes, um, if there's

01:52:09.480 an injury and, uh, you know, people are called upon that there will be a nurse or a doctor

01:52:14.220 nearby who can assist.

01:52:15.560 And it's very handy to have that, uh, those supplies available as well.

01:52:19.760 So, all right.

01:52:20.880 We're, we're having a hard time.

01:52:23.520 Like I, you know, when I was really, really sick there just back in May, I mean, uh, you

01:52:29.760 know, we, we, fortunately we have some friends that, that are still in the hospital system,

01:52:34.220 even though they're not vaxxed, they're still working in a hospital system, but we can't

01:52:38.820 tell anybody.

01:52:39.380 But, you know, uh, I'm trying to get more IV supplies and that cause I, I can still do

01:52:44.060 IVs and stuff, even though I'm not practicing as a paramedic anymore.

01:52:47.080 I'm retired, but, uh, even trying to get like some, uh, IV supplies and, uh, we can't

01:52:53.420 get them anymore.

01:52:54.380 We, we're going to all the websites and we just can't get them anymore.

01:52:57.640 They're all out of stock.

01:52:59.200 So people are hoarding stuff or people are stocking up already.

01:53:03.300 So we're trying to go to alternate supplies.

01:53:05.360 So yeah, you're right, Tanya, if, if people can just stock up on those things and, um,

01:53:11.680 there will be people in our groups that are, uh, trained medical professionals that, that,

01:53:16.380 uh, will need to, uh, to use those things.

01:53:19.720 Right.

01:53:20.320 Yeah.

01:53:20.740 Sad, but, uh, true that we're having to have these conversations, but, uh, you know, we

01:53:25.200 want to 100% be prepared for anything and everything.

01:53:30.580 And hopefully with all our hard work, we're going to turn things around.

01:53:33.580 Like I say, we've had some amazing wins recently, even when we consider pastor Archer, the fact

01:53:38.920 that three appeal court judges decided in his favor and to say, actually what judge Jermaine

01:53:44.720 did was illegal, uh, you know, just didn't stop that, um, you know, that there, there was

01:53:50.120 some sort of violation, but to use the term illegal.

01:53:52.620 So we're excited about this, but we're still going to prepare.

01:53:56.420 We think there's wisdom in that.

01:53:58.120 Okay.

01:53:58.820 Dan, thank you so much for coming on tonight.

01:54:02.340 This has been not only, yep, there we go.

01:54:05.760 That's our guy.

01:54:07.760 Chapter leader extraordinaire.

01:54:09.540 And thank you as well, because you oversee all of the maritime provinces as well.

01:54:14.080 We'd only have, we don't only have chapter leaders in all of the locations we've shown

01:54:18.980 you, but in order to, uh, support them and facilitate them, we now have as well, provincial

01:54:24.080 chapter, uh, leaders.

01:54:26.180 And Dan happens to be one of those for the Maritimes.

01:54:28.900 He's very involved with Action for Canada.

01:54:31.140 He's very involved with helping his community.

01:54:33.520 And he didn't even, I didn't even have to ask him twice if he would come on the show tonight

01:54:38.400 and present and provide us with all of this incredible information.

01:54:41.520 So Dan, in closing, uh, why don't I give you a moment, uh, you know, to close and, you know,

01:54:46.640 what would be great?

01:54:47.660 I mean, you're a man of many talents and, uh, you know, you've been a pastor and as you

01:54:52.280 said, a paramedic and all of the farming, uh, and agriculture experience you have, but

01:54:57.180 would you close us in prayer tonight?

01:54:58.660 I would just love that.

01:55:00.260 I would love to.

01:55:02.580 Heavenly Father, it's been a pleasure to be with all of these fine folk across their country

01:55:07.020 and to do this presentation.

01:55:09.120 And more than anything, Lord, I pray for everyone that's on this call, those that may have some

01:55:13.960 fear and trepidation as to what's going on in the world.

01:55:17.520 And certainly we don't want to instill fear into anyone.

01:55:20.340 We do want to be prepared.

01:55:22.260 We do want to do everything that, uh, is within our power, Lord, to, uh, face the coming

01:55:27.160 days, months, and years, but we do know, Lord, that you, uh, you tell us in your word

01:55:32.000 that there is coming a time when, uh, evil will just play itself out.

01:55:36.920 And, uh, you give us a wonderful promise of an eternal home in heaven and the gift is

01:55:41.920 ours to take, but we must receive your son, Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and savior.

01:55:46.660 And I pray that everyone that's on this call tonight will consider the free gift of eternal

01:55:50.960 life that Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior has provided for us.

01:55:55.420 So bless each and every one.

01:55:57.500 I pray that you'll bless Tanya and, uh, the whole team, Lord, as we, uh, continue to do

01:56:02.140 your work.

01:56:02.700 And we thank you for the victories that are won and look forward to the victories to

01:56:06.180 continue.

01:56:06.700 So bless each and every one as we go our separate ways.

01:56:09.280 And we ask this in the precious name of Jesus.

01:56:11.840 Amen.

01:56:13.380 Amen.

01:56:14.180 All right.

01:56:15.060 Thank you, Dan so much.

01:56:16.760 Bless you.

01:56:17.620 And we'll, well, we'll, we'll be seeing you at a zoom meeting soon, chapter leader meeting

01:56:23.380 soon.

01:56:24.040 All right.

01:56:24.720 Well, thank you to everybody for joining us tonight.

01:56:28.260 I love what Dan said, uh, you know, about fear.

01:56:31.080 We shouldn't have fear.

01:56:32.320 And, uh, there's a verse in the Bible that talks about God, not giving us a spirit of

01:56:36.660 fear.

01:56:36.860 That's a fears of the enemy of the devil himself.

01:56:39.960 Who's roaming on the earth right now, right now to see who he can devour.

01:56:43.900 And when I say about devour, when you think about how fear is, um, paralyzing people in

01:56:50.700 this nation, those who are still wearing masks and who are complying with these orders.

01:56:56.000 And I just thank God.

01:56:57.380 So many people are really, truly waking up in this nation.

01:57:00.820 So we do boldly speak about God because we believe that he's still on the throne and

01:57:05.800 he's all powerful.

01:57:06.700 And as I've said before, he is allowing us to suffer a little because we turned our back

01:57:11.960 on him as a nation and we got to get back and we got to get right.

01:57:14.940 So I'm going to leave it at that.

01:57:16.640 I hope you'll join us next week.

01:57:18.180 I'm excited about that.

01:57:19.340 We're going to talk about cross-border traveling and domestic traveling.

01:57:22.960 Um, I, I love it because Remo has agreed to come on and, uh, yeah, so we're going to see

01:57:28.700 you next week.

01:57:29.500 I just want to say God bless you and God bless Canada.

01:57:32.700 I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on.

01:57:52.460 I'm going to thank our founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much

01:57:59.920 for our freedom.

01:58:02.700 And I'm calling on you today, don't put them to shame, don't waste what they did.

01:58:11.680 We have guaranteed rights in this country.

01:58:21.900 We are putting chapters across the nation.

01:58:24.780 We are going to be in every town and every city, and we are going to build communities

01:58:31.400 within these communities of like-minded people who are actually going to care for one another

01:58:36.380 again and love on each other and give each other the help when they're down.

01:58:40.240 We are going to be in every town.

01:58:41.860 We are going to be in every town and every town and every city's going to be in every town.

01:58:43.760 We are going to use the teams and the people that build within chapters to support our businesses.

01:58:47.800 The government's actions are completely 100% unlawful.

01:58:54.460 Judgment will again be found on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

01:59:02.680 you have a virtuous heart

01:59:05.540 if you are here today

01:59:06.960 pursuing freedom and righteousness

01:59:09.860 and then verse 23

01:59:12.900 comes along with a promise

01:59:14.680 God says

01:59:16.600 he will turn the sins of evil people

01:59:19.720 back on them 0.99

01:59:20.840 he will destroy them 1.00

01:59:23.680 for their sins 1.00

01:59:25.340 I take great comfort in that

01:59:29.000 because I serve a mighty

01:59:31.640 living God

01:59:32.780 who has allowed us

01:59:34.980 to go through this season

01:59:37.360 of discomfort

01:59:38.320 because we as a nation

01:59:40.120 have turned our backs on Him

01:59:42.320 and we need to get right

01:59:44.620 so I am just going to thank you so much

01:59:48.680 I'm going to say God bless you

01:59:51.220 and God bless Canada

02:00:01.640 and God bless you

02:00:12.580 and God bless you

02:00:14.380 and all others

02:00:16.980 Thank you.

02:00:46.980 Thank you.

02:01:16.980 Thank you.

02:01:46.980 Thank you.

02:02:16.980 Thank you.
