Sh@! Hits the fan in canada

I am writing in a spirit of peace, so don't take this the wrong way. The ground crew should be already prepared for anything. It will be wise to make preparations NOW so you can leave large cities if another war starts in January. Simply choose a place to go to (I think places around 3 hours drive away are not too expensive/tiring to get to if you have to leave at night). Pack up suitcases with necessary items now - food, medicine, blankets, change of clothes, cash, can opener, etc. Service your car & keep it full of gas NOW so you can go if necessary. Hopefully, NOTHING WILL happen, but isn't it better to be prepared now, just in case? All I'm asking is that you prepare, don't leave today as you will just end up returning home a few days later. Really, servicing your car & packing a suitcase will not take long. Several events are converging in January 2009 and this Canadian news is just the latest event.
