Canada’s “Laid Back Attitude” on Emergency Preparedness November 10th, 2009 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

If you have ever been to Canada you know how laid back they are. They seem to say “Don’t worry, we’ll get around to it eventually” . They say this about almost everything. Did you know that they didn’t have a public safety division until 2003? Quote Public Safety Canada (PS) was created in 2003 to ensure coordination across all federal departments and agencies responsible for national security and the safety of Canadians.

As of this printing they do not have a federal emergency response plan. They are in the works of getting one approved, It has been in the works for nearly 6 years. Come one Canada lets get it in gear. You guys are open to terrorist attacks Swine Flu pandemics (oops that already happened) and other crazy stuff. If you live in Canada I would suggest contacting your government about this. It is up to you to push them to get one in place. In this day and age you can’t have this laid back attitude on a subject like emergency preparedness.
