SOLS GUARDISTO VISION AND PREPAREDNESS LEVELS IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA

I have been looking for indications that people in Southern Alberta are prepared to a level commensurate with the Sols G. vision I have featured several times on this blog. Here is some heartening information along those lines from a member of the LDS Freedom Forum:

In the last year we have had at least 2 Sundays (sacrament) dedicated to preparedness. Usually the fifth Sunday. These topics are also discussed from time to time in Sunday School and Priesthood. We have an active dry pack program as well as there are various groups of people in this area that bring in bulk amounts of every thing from lentils to coconut oil to Five gallon pails and lids, etc.. Generally speaking we are in the mind set to be prepared. There is even one Stake 2 hours north of us that has over 90% of active members with a 2 year supply. In our community we have an emergency plan as the community is about 85% LDS. Last month we had a dentist come in from the southern states to do a 2 day emergency dental course. My family owns their own #10 dry pack canning machine. The stake has members in every ward assigned to the communication team for emergencies who are ham operators. There are other things going on as well. In a nut shell this is a good area.

STL: I Live in Raymond, Alberta, Canada. Approx. 50 minutes north of the US border on Interstate 15. The population is about 3,500 of which 85% is LDS. There is one stake and 9 wards in the Town. We are located 30 minutes from the Cardston Temple and about 20 minutes from a city of 125,000. Another interesting fact is that Raymond is the birth place of Cleon Skousen. If you move now you will still be in the same country when the Lord comes as I don't think the borders will mean too much. To answer your question about military, one of my neighbors is a retired colonel from the Army. Good man. We share a common military alliance with the US. I believe that we are in a particularly good location being some what distanced from large cities, nuclear facilities, etc.. One of the benefits is that there is lots of space, natural resources, LDS communities. I would describe Alberta as Mountains on the west, plains on the east, Forests on the North 2 thirds. A strong conservative attitude with a vibrant economy and a solid work ethic. Kind of the Texas of the north, only more space. There have been many dreams and prophetic statements from local leaders over the years indicating that this area will be a place of refuge and that many will come from the north and the south for safety. When I get get a chance I will try to source some out for you.
