All right, welcome to season four of Inside My Canoe Head, a Canadian podcast about individual emergency preparedness, rocking an incredible life, and learning to do the things to make yourself more self-reliant in a chaotic world. Sit back, grab a beverage, and take charge of your life. All right, welcome back to the Ottawa Studios. Listen, this week, I think, you know, periodically is a good time to step back and have a look at the world around us and have a no-poop, honest assessment of all of these extra things that are causing us stress, et cetera, in the world.
How does it affect us? And how does it affect our preparedness? So today, we want to talk about inflation. We want to talk about supply chains, conflict zones, and what does this mean for you and your family's preparedness?
No, this isn't the sky is falling. This is an actual real assessment of what are the influences of what's going on in the world. So sit back, grab a beverage, let's get at it. All right, you know, our ex-drummers out there, our ex-percussionists, will never get rid of the love of the beat.
All right, listen, we all live in a world right now that seems like it's on fire. Every time you look at your YouTube Apocatalk channels, they're always talking about, you know, you're running out of time, do this now. The government's about to ban X. They're about to prevent you from doing Y.
I mean, it sounds like this master great reset plan is about to be launched, coordinating across all of the Western democracies that are about to rechange human civilization. And there are a lot of people who believe it. And some of it is pretty well-written, convincing material, trying to argue for a great coordinated effort. Now, listen, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that the world is not going through some significant reorganization and significant prioritization changes around global democracies and global constitutional republics.
So that is going on, and that does influence the world. So that's what we're going to talk about today. If we're successful today, you will go away understanding that your world is not about to collapse, but that there are some things that will affect how you conduct your business, your life, your job, your family, and that there are some considerations you need to take into heed when we're talking about this world around us. Some things that you and your family can do that are free or cost an exceptionally low amount of money that are easy for you to do, but will have a significant impact.
So here we go. Inflation. Let's talk inflation. We all know inflation is, by definition, the overall increase in the average price level.
So this is not one individual commodity that can have an exceptionally high rate of inflation. There are actually a few select important commodities right now that are seeing a price drop. So inflation is the overall price level in society. I don't care whose quote you take or whose stat you take.
All that we need to understand, and I think we all do, is that price levels are advancing at a rate greater than our wages and greater than our savings. So what's happening is, if we're able to meet all of our current responsibilities, we're seeing less and less savings or no savings at all, or we're using some of our savings to carry on life. That's a problem that is unsustainable. So most of this depends on where you live in the world.
Now, let's be serious. We have a significant food problem globally as a species coming up due to the war in Ukraine. You know, the number one world supplier of grains and fertilizer and fertilizer products is Russia, and we just told them they're not allowed to participate anymore in the international market space. And with the conflict in Ukraine, the inability of ships to get out of the Black Sea due to Russia, but more importantly, the inability of ships to get out of the Black Sea, because nobody will give them insurance like Lloyd's of London, etc.
Basically, the best way to say it is we have food for 6 billion people in the fall and the spring, but there happens to be 8 billion people on the world. Now, if you don't think that's a problem, if you remember the Arab Spring uprisings that happened, you know, about a decade ago, that was simply because grain prices doubled across northern Africa, okay? We're looking at quadrupling or more in grain prices. We are going to see a large number of governments overthrown or military coups happening within a lot of destabilized or barely stable countries throughout the Middle East and Africa as a result of simply there's no food.
India, which is not one of the top three, but it's in the top 10 producers of grains and pulses in the world, has now blocked the export of food products out of their country because they understand it's fairly important to feed their people. You don't feed your people, they get a little angry, and then you have a different problem to deal with. So, in essence, what all of this means is that we're looking at different parts of the world having significantly different outcomes because of a lack of food. Now, depending on where you live in this world, if you live in northern Africa, if you live in eastern or western Africa, if you live in parts of the Middle East, you have a significant problem coming downrange, which means it's not that the simple price level of your grains and your pulses are going to increase, it's that they're not going to be available for sale irrespective of how much money you have.
So, you're going to have to figure out how to source your normal food supply if you rely on grains and pulses for a good proportion of your diet in areas of the country or areas of the world, sorry, where your food product is in import. So, if you live in a country where the majority of your food is imported from other parts of the world and that is how you purchase your food, you have to have a hard, detailed look at what's going on in the world because by fall and early spring 2023, a good portion of that food just simply won't rise. I mean, the price levels will go through the roof, but it will get to a point where there simply won't be any food for you. Like, there won't be any food coming into your country, and you have to ask yourself, what's my plan?
And when we go quickly through all of these items, we're going to talk about at the end what you as an individual can do from a sense of preparedness to manage this. So, the next thing everybody keeps talking about is supply chains, right? So, supply chains are not collapsing around the world. I did 20 plus years in supply chain management.
I'll go toe-to-toe with any expert that wants to come on and say that the supply chains are collapsing, right? That's just somebody who lacks the understanding of how supply chains operate. Supply chains are switching from a global perspective to a regional perspective. So, what's happening is, in the period of globalization, and if you're a theorist into this type of thing, globalization started falling apart in the second term, the second half of Bill Clinton's second term, George Bush Senate rifling towards a crash, and Obama just slamming on the gas pedal of ending globalization.
So, globalization is the idea where you will take inputs for your products from all different places around the world, because there is a free and open and well-protected and defended network of free commerce zones in the world where all of this stuff gets shipped to different points. You use efficiencies at different locations around the world, and you create a very lean supply chain. Now, supply chains are lean or agile. Lean means they're very, very efficient, which means there's no wasted dollar.
These are your just-in times. Everything happens in a very well-choreographed stage. Everybody has to do their job, but when everybody does their job, they nail it. There's not much redundancy in a lean supply chain.
An agile supply chain is one that has the ability to pivot, to adjust. One part can shut down, and it can pivot to the second option. Though they're more expensive, they're less efficient, they're far more effective when things go wrong. So, regional trade routes is where the world's been going for about 10 years.
So, if you think of economic zones, so NAFTA would be one, the European trading one, Aizen within Southeast Asia would be another one. You see Kanzuk and a couple other things like that that are rising up. So, basically, the world is being, or has been for about 20 years, subdividing into a set of regional trade zones. So, you're seeing the end of, you know, getting five parts of my car from different parts of the world and then assembling them in Mexico.
You're seeing the parts all created within NAFTA at various different countries within the trade zone and then transported on safe, defended routes to there. So, what countries are doing is reshoring of critical requirements. So, if you think everything's critical, it's not, you know, then nothing's critical. The point being is the pandemic taught us that having 90-odd percent of the world's PPE constructed in China is not a good idea.
We know that about 95% of the world's antibiotics, generic and brand name, are manufactured in India. And a certain period during the pandemic, India stopped companies allowing to export around the world, putting the entire pharmaceutical industry at risk throughout the world. So, countries are realizing that there are certain key critical items that need to be constructed, not necessarily within their country, but within their trade zone, right? So, the United States of America has five trade agreements with countries around the world.
It doesn't need anybody else in the rest of the world. It will reshore everything that it produces for its own consumption into those five countries. It will then use the United States Navy to defend those trade routes and everybody else is on their own. I mean, that's how the Bretton Woods Agreement, you know, after the Second World War agreed.
And that's why we had globalization. As America said, we'll use our Navy to protect every trade route between everybody in the world. There'll be no more piracy, no more countries pirating ships. We'll protect that as long as you're against the Soviet Union and on our side in that conflict.
That's essentially how globalization worked. And then once the Soviet Union collapsed, all these countries said, well, you know what, we don't really need to be on America's side anymore. And then America said, well, why bother protecting everybody's trade routes? So, America's done with that.
We started to see the emergence of that when the pirating happened in Somalia and people were like, yeah, okay, America will come help their own. You saw pirating in the last two years by Iran within, around the Straits of Hormuz. And what did America do? They protected their own ships and they left everybody else alone.
So, if the Dutch wanted their ships protected from Iranian piracy, they actually had to send the Dutch Navy, not the American fleet that is based in Bahrain, protecting everybody. It's all of a sudden now, if you as an individual country want to ensure that your shipping is protected around the world, you're going to have to do that either yourself with your own Navy or you're going to have to get into an agreement with somebody else's Navy, you know, for a price to protect your shipping. That's where the world is moving back to. That's basically how it's been since Norseman.
But the point, that's where the globalization is moving. So, yeah, a great example of this is the car industry. If you notice now, there seems to be, especially as we move over to electric cars, the world's going to do this in fullness of time. What's happening is you're going to a car dealership, you're picking out your car, you're putting down a deposit, if it's Tesla, it's all online, or any other company, it's online, and then you're waiting for your car to be delivered.
Right now, you're being told that's due to supply chain industry, that's due to supply chain challenges. In fact, there's a good theorist that put out, said, in fact, what they're doing is they're training the consumer to change how major items like cars are ordered. They're moving to a system from having all kinds of random cars constructed and put on lots to making this the norm. This is a training period so that we will all get used to the fact that we want to buy our new car, which in 10 years will be electric.
So when I want to buy my new electric sedan, I look at all the models online, I basically go to the dealerships that have the different models there, I make my selection, I put a deposit down, I order my car, and they're made to order. And this will become the norm for a lot of larger industries and a lot of larger machinery, right? You want a new washer and dryer, that's not a problem. They're manufactured in North America somewhere or from another group that we have a trade agreement with and they'll be here in a couple of weeks.
And that will just become the norm. We become used to that in the furniture industry. If I want a new couch, which we recently replaced our couch, we would go to the store. The store has essentially got all these beautiful items in it, but it's a display case.
I want that couch in this fabric. I put my deposit down or I pay for the item and then I get told by email when the item has arrived and is ready for delivery. That's becoming the norm. That's the second part of the evolution of supply chains is one, we're reshoring to a regional critical perspective of construction for items that matter.
And second, we're moving to a made to order for major end items. Conflict zones. Okay, man has been at war for probably as long as man has been on this earth and it's never going to change. So I love peaceniks.
I love people who want peace and not war, but man just can't figure that out. So conflict is always going to be going on. There's always a different perspective to conflict as to whether you have a loved one who fought and I fought in war. If you have a loved one who's currently fighting in a war, your perspective is different from random citizen who doesn't have a skin in the game, shall we say, who is not invested.
If you live in an active conflict zone where you personally are in threat of some type of military action or you live in a country or two away from it and you're seeing a little bit more security present, maybe some refugees, your perspective is always going to be different. War is a business. War is a military industrial complex and the United States basically runs both governments. And this is not conspiracy theory.
When you look at the political donations given to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, both of them are largely controlled by the military industrial complex. When Iraq and Afghanistan fell and that conflict basically, Iraq is basically a weekend shooting war. There's nobody in Afghanistan anymore. Nobody was largely consuming the products of the military industrial complex.
They're a champion for war. And so something needed to happen. So what has happened in Congress since Russia invaded Ukraine is that the largest expenditure in the U.S. military history in conflict, some well into that, if you add it all together, now I know it's not all expended yet, but you're talking over $50 billion of the U.S.
Treasury. Now, this is the U.S. taxpayers' money that is going to do one certain thing. It is going to fund an ongoing conflict and it's there to ensure that the conflict continues.
Now, a bit of a theorist on it, there are very few people with any credibility who thinks that Ukraine will actually ever be in a position where it can defeat the Russian army and kick the Russian army out of Ukraine proper. The idea is that the U.S. government, funded by the military industrial complex, is making sure that war carries on. Nobody, very few other than Macron and the leader of Germany, and they get railed politically for it when they call Putin.
If you just look at it, nobody internationally is attempting to sue for peace. Nobody has shuttled diplomacy between capitals to try to sue for peace. No group of people are actively working with any hope of success of trying to end this conflict. What the money speaks.
The money speaks and tells us that the Western world, all of us, all of us in the Western world, I'm in Canada, my government as well, are pouring hundreds of millions and billions of dollars into Ukraine. We're sending bullets. We're sending artillery shells. We're sending...
We all collectively want this war to go on. We want the killing to continue. We want the death and destruction to continue because that's what we're funding. We are not funding peace efforts.
So this is humanity like it or lump it. And that makes a huge difference because I alluded, as I said directly before, about the idea of war is that war is never going to go away. And part of the concerns is where do you live in this world? I live in Canada and North America.
War is not coming to us. The only significant threat that we face at any one time is a nuclear destruction. And that's just an apocalyptic discussion that I'll put off to the side. I don't live in a world where I'm going to have somebody else's troops on my streets or somebody else's troops...
in my country, fighting some type of battle, trying to cease to reign. However, a good portion of the listeners to this podcast do live in conflict zones. The great theorist Peter Zion has said in his 2016 book, The Disunited Nations, and his 2012 and 2014 books, he showed that he actually, you know, he called this war is exactly what it was. He showed that Eastern Europe and the South China Sea area are for the next 10 years going to be shooting war conflict zones of some form or another.
Africa is going to break out in a series of shooting wars because of resource challenges, namely the lack of food. Where you live, it's a huge difference. So when you look at conflict on the news, and then you look at a series of, and I think this is the parade of retired military officers is almost sad if it wasn't so hilarious that come on and realize they get their 15 minutes of fame and look all these 30 years make me seem smart and really smart because I got some well-rehearsed moves and I can show some hands on some maps and I got some oohs and aahs. It's an industry, right?
And this industry is being fueled precipitously around the world by every Western democracy government that you can find, whether it's a democracy or a constitutional republic. Both of them are fueling this war and other wars, and they have no intention of stopping it. Yemen, which represents the world's largest humanitarian crisis, and it's literally deplorable beyond explanation that we allow what's going on in Yemen and Eastern Africa to continue. That's fuel for the Western industrial machine.
You know, Saudi Arabia buys all its weaponry off Canada, America, and all these industrial, I mean, nobody's saying, hey, listen, I'm going to stop giving the war and party's weapons because I don't want the innocents to be killed anymore. You don't hear that. What do you hear? I want my side to win.
Hey, I want my side to continue fighting. And so I'm going to give them all the weapons they need to continue fighting, but not sufficient force so that they'll actually win and end the conflict because that defeats the purpose of the military industrial complex. So the idea behind that chat is just to say, hey, listen, the world is not coming apart at the scenes. You don't live in the beginning of the book of revelations.
The apocalypse is not coming. What you do live in is a world that is starting to reorganize, right? So for the 2020s, we're going through a period of societal reorganization from a perspective of how we produce and relate to each other. So depending on where you look or where you live in the world, look at the economic and political relationships that surround you.
If you really want to understand what's going on with humanity, there are four key factors that inform the answers to what the next steps of what's going on in this poop storm we call 2022. You have to look at geography. You have to look at the resources, aka where does your country get its food and its necessities from, building materials and food? Where does your country get its energy from?
So whether it uses hydro, coal, all those things, none of that matters. Where does it get it from? And then demographics. A wonderfully poorly understood study is what does the population of your country look like in relevance to, you know, we have a like China has a significant demographic problem from their one-child policy.
When they went to a three-child policy, nobody pumped out babies. So if you study demographics, just demographics alone, China is going to be ceased to be a functioning economy in 10 years. So all these people that think that China has a 50-year plan and they're going to dominate the world, if they studied demographics and they studied resources and energy, they would understand that in 10 years, China is going to be largely broken up into a series of smaller regional non-influential organizations. There is no other possible outcome.
You can't create an entire generation of people to consume and fund the government. It's just not possible. So when you look at your country and your existence in this world in reflect to all of these changes I talked about, think of those four things. Ask yourself, where am I geographically situated?
Where does my country get its resources? Where does my country get its energy? Where does my country's demographics look like? So your location, number one, right?
And they say real estate, location, location, location. Geography wins, right? So I live in Canada, okay? We have America to the south, which for good, bad, or indifferent is our great partner, wonderful constitutional republic.
It's not a democracy. It's a constitutional republic. They're never going to invade Canada because they don't want to try to govern all us hippies. And Canada has a great shooting zone.
If they ever got in a ground war over the Arctic with the Russians, they get to fight it on Canada's ground and not in America. So Canada literally faces no threat, right? Which you can argue why we've never had really much of a defense force in the last 40 years because we've just lived off the coattails of America. But geography wise, Canada is like Russia.
We produce, or could if we chose to, all of the energy we need to consume, we don't need to import a bit. We consume, we have all of the building materials, all of the natural resources, and all of the food our country would need to consume as a population can come from Canada. We can produce all of our own energy. Our demographics are stable.
They're a little bit waning, but nowhere near as bad as the rest of the world. Canada could close the doors on every other country in the world, including the United States of America, and be fine. A little bit of changes in how we do things, but we'd be fine. Now, combined in the NAFTA agreement with Mexico and America, Canada doesn't need to have foreign relations or economic relations with any other part of the world, right?
And you forget from a military perspective, we have two of the world's largest anti-tank ditches, one on each side, the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean. Nobody's coming to harm us. So Canada is in a very, very unique position, as is the United States of America, is that we trade to get a better life. We trade to boost our economy.
We trade to build better partnerships, but we don't trade as a matter of survival. Now, take the country of Egypt, for example. In comparison, Egypt is a net importer of energy and a net importer of food. They're a net importer of construction and building resources, right?
So Egypt does not have the ability to close its borders and survive. It just simply does not possess the resources based upon its geography to exist without having significant, important international relationships that are protected by a strong and robust military or military alliance. Hence, this is why they have to do what they do. This is why the big dam in Ethiopia is such a threat to Egypt, is because not only, I mean, energy will be there.
They can actually buy a lot of that energy and take some risk away from their importing of oil and natural gas, but the problem is it's not within their control. It's outside their control. Some of their fresh water will disappear. All of their fresh water is at risk.
Some of their arable land will be lost due to the reduction in water flow. So a country like Egypt is in a position where its ability to feed its people, its ability to house its people, and its ability to provide the basic energy resources for its people, you know, an environment where you can purchase energy, is at the whim of other countries and relationships. So they are in a position of international turmoil, time immemorial. As long as Egypt exists as a country, it will be in a state of potential conflict and disagreements with its neighbors.
Forget the whole political Israeli-Palestine situation. Forget the Saudi Arabia-Egypt divide. Forget all of these issues with Yemen and South Sudan, Sudan, and all these other countries. Just Egypt's ability to provide for its people requires somewhat of an authoritarian government, right?
So where you live makes a huge difference. So now to you, the last five minutes is all about you. All of this, what does that mean for you as an individual emergency preparedness individual? Simply put, you have to sit down, like I always say, with your favorite beverage.
I've got a cup of coffee right here in my Ottawa Senator's Hockey mug. A shout out for my team being a season ticket holder. You've got to sit down and think about those important things. We think about animalistic requirements here.
You think about analysis on the 12-step process that we have. You think about your 10 sectors of critical infrastructure that you're exposed to. Think about a couple of quick things, and then you can take it from there. Where do you get your food?
Where does your food come from, right? So there's two parts of your food. There's your necessity food, the food that just means I'm going to have sufficient nutrients and calories to carry on with my awesome life, okay? Where does that come from?
Then the nice to have, right? So all of the fruit that I need to survive as a human being comes within 100 kilometers of my house. All the berries and the apples and the pears that I need. I don't need anything else, right?
I love my bananas and mangoes, right? But I don't need them to survive. So understand your food falls into those two categories. So where does your food come from?
Really have a sit down, think about that. Are you choosing food that exposes you to the reorganization, as I call it, of international supply chains? Are you a position where you get the majority of your grains and pulses are imported from a foreign country, and then you buy them in a market, right? The first question is, you're understanding your exposure to inflation, you're understanding your exposure to supply chain reorganization, and you're understanding your exposure to conflict zones as it represents itself in your provision of food.
Like I said, where I live, and I call local 100 kilometers, I don't care if you call it 50 miles, 100 mile diet, it doesn't matter. I look at 100 kilometer circle around where I live, where does my food come from, right? So I make sure that all of my necessities either do or can come from inside that 100 kilometers, right? Not a problem.
I can feed myself, my family, have a great time, eat all wonderful food, get all the nutrients and have a great life without ever purchasing food that comes from more than 100 kilometers, which means if the entire citrus crop in Florida is destroyed by a freeze, it matters not to me. I mean, I feel bad for the people, but I could care less. You know, if the grain imports or exports from Russia and Ukraine don't come back online for two years, and massive famine happens in Africa, which some people are calling for, that's not going to affect me here in Canada. Now, it most certainly would affect me if I am a large consumer of grain and pulse-related products.
I live in a region where those pulse and grains are imported. They're imported from areas of the world that are now or are at risk of conflict zones, right? You understand that. As an individual, you have very little ability to influence that conflict.
You have every ability to start to examine, how do I reorganize and resource my food? How do I differentiate the types of food that I consume to mitigate against the potential of my primary food source, since it's imported from a foreign country through a market system that is greatly subject to inflation and supply chain reorganization? How do I, as an individual, when I can't control that, how do I mitigate that, right? How do I lessen the impact on my family by reorganizing and making different food choices?
That's your preparedness superpower. That's your superpower, right? Your ability to pivot. And it's the same with energy and resources, other resources that you need to execute your life as you choose to do it.
So where does the power for your house come? Where does the heating for your house come? Like, is that at risk from either inflation? Is it at risk for supply chain reorganization, i.e.
you're in Germany right now? You heat with natural gas? You're living fairly close to an inflation can have a significant effect on the ability of you to pay your bills? Think about it.
You are at a very high risk of having an exceptional difficulty this winter, because the inflation due to supply chain reorganization and the conflict zones in Russia is going to influence the amount available. Right now, in the summer, when you don't need that heat is when you need to be looking at your options and figuring out strategies to mitigate how you're going to navigate the coming winter, when your ability to access natural gas is going to be challenged, because either it's not going to be available at times, or it's going to be available, but at such high prices, it's going to put you in significant difficulty. That's your superpower. That's your preparedness superpower.
It costs nothing. And the last part of your superpower is your community. And I talk about this at length of this podcast and all of my research is in its social capital, which is the power that human beings bring to problems. Think about it that way.
So you're looking at your issue of heat or food, et cetera. You're probably facing the same stresses as quite a number of people in your community, and maybe you as an individual can't. But what about community gardens? What about ideas like that?
What about people pooling resources? I don't mean everybody paying for each other's food. I mean everybody putting great ideas together and their access to resources and start thinking about we as a community who are all facing these risks, who are all facing these potential hazards. How do we get together as a community to start addressing the issues?
If we're going to have problems in the coming fall to get access to natural gas as a community, what are our options together? The brilliance of social capital is that you don't know what all of the people around you have access to. You don't know what their education is. You don't know what systems they could think of developing.
You get together with a group of like-minded people who are interested in ameliorating potential coming suffering, you're looking at it. Okay, you can't get any more money and food prices are going up, okay? You have a choice. Are you responsible for your outcomes?
This is preparedness, right? This is not about whining and complaining that prices are going up. Inflation is out of your individual control. Your control is how do you deal with it, right?
If your family's food budget is $300 a week and the food prices are rising, you can't, and you're not in a position to create $350 a week for your food budget, it means you have to continue to feed your family all the nutrients and things they need at $300 a week. You may not have the reason, how do I do that? This is not my area of specialty, but you get together in community groups. You get together in different ideas, and I'll give you an idea here, okay?
So this is an idea that I read out of a small community in BC out of a local newspaper. They were looking at this with grain prices and everything else like this. The community got together and they started buying bulk food from restaurant supply companies. So basically what they started to do is they pooled their limited financial resources together, leveraged it, bought massive values, redistributed it, had a little Sunday party every three weeks when these large shipments showed up, distributed it to each other, and what they were able to do by doing that collectively is they were able to continue to provide the same amount of quality great food for their family through bulk purchasing, through pooling everybody together, and still prices were rising, but they were able to mitigate the amount of impact it had on their family.
So you don't know what other people can do or help. Use social capital. Use the power of people and use your superpower. Your preparedness superpower, my friends, is your ability to plan and your ability to think.
So thank you very much. I hope after listening to what I talked about today, you got an understanding that the world is just going through a system of change. Conflict is there. Conflict is just moving into some backyards where we haven't been used to it for 40 years.
You have to understand that you can't influence and make all these changes that you think need to happen in the world. You can advocate for it, and please do. But when it comes down to you and your family operations as an individual emergency preparedness individual, you have to mitigate your way through this. You have to leverage your superpower, understand based upon geography, resources, energy, and demographics.
