Well, lotta people are pulling $$ outta banks in Canada , that's a fact -- as far as the internet ? Anyone's guess , I'd get $$ and supplies regardless
The community bank I use will withdraw money even while their systems/internet are down as they know people need it and things happen. They will go the manual root. Not sure about all community banks but I at least know mine does so I would check with your personal bank to see if they make any exceptions for situations like this.
Every single store around here keeps it as a backup. I’ve had to use them in the past because my bank is shitty :). Boomers are all dying or dead GenX baby
Highly, highly doubt this is true. Just my thought. Logistically, the Canadian government can’t get much done right, let alone something this expansive and disruptive.
She’s not freaking out. Just trying to confirm if there’s any validity to it. She knows I’m a member here and was hoping I could look into it further. She doesn’t need to get a grip!
Respectably, is she like a teenager or something? Any adult with an ounce of malice (I mean life experience) knows better than to trust some random video on the internet, for real.
Here's something for both of you to talk about: It's not the first "warning to have cash on hand b/c no credit cards/debit cards will work", and it won't be the last. These random crappy fear mongering narratives come and go, now and then, since before the internet - but now because of the internet they go viral among people who act like they were born the last decade.
Here's a tidbit of wisdom: if things went down so bad to the point of you needing cash on hand because cards stopped working, trust me, cash would be the last of your worries - cause by that point it would be the breakdown of social fabric where money doesn't matter. Things like these happen in literal war zones, like literally, places where you haven't got electricity nor running water (hence why paper cash would be the last of your worries). There's a couple of those out there in the world at any given time, but not here, in the last few centuries. That's what "get a grip" means. A very basic reality check is all. In today's reality, these freak outs are caused by people seeking engagement in social media mostly, for whatever reason.
Lol I have a lot of books. And I mean a lot plus I have the complete works of Edgar Rice Burroughs downloaded onto my Kindle. So I guess I would be set, lol.
I also know from our local electricians power line guys. that are electricity does not rely on the internet to keep functioning.
Hot pockets? My daughter makes the best knoephla soup on the planet, and I can make a delicious lapskaus. No need for Hot pockets in my house lol. Not with those yummy German and Norwegian soups.
My comment is from the movie "The Core'' -- where the government enlists a hacker nerd to shut down internet and those are his requests to do so 😂 --- it's a joke
This was sent by a cousin in Canada and she couldn’t verify it’s authenticity. I uploaded to Rumble so that it’s shareable. I’m hoping the great detective work here can shed some light on the matter.

Thank you!
There are only 6 days left in February... how can he shut it down for 10 days in February?
(Being a smartass).

Lol kids… every store has manual credit card machines still. You know transfer paper old school ones. They still are in use and valid.
lol boomer, youd be hard pressed to find a store with credit slips or even a card slide.

Haha! Good point!

Off to check it out. Thank you.
A telltale sign of bullshit rumors. I don't want to sound rude, but tell your cousin to get a grip.

How can he possibly shut it down for 10 days so many things rely on the internet
Hospital records hospital information for one thing shipping logistics even the gas pumps at the gas station where I work rely on internet.
Also unless he plans on shooting down any satellites or removing all cell phone towers then he cannot shut down the internet.
If you have an unlimited supply of hot pockets and Xena Princess Warrior tapes ..... It can be done

Ohhhh lol
This is that scene from that movie The Core https://youtu.be/2ePBNGmxVK8
It would be a horrible, hateful move if it actually happened. I hope it’s just a stupid rumor.
You’re assuming they care about the well-being of Canadians. They don’t.
Having said that, I don’t think Canada is savvy enough to take down the internet here unless they have foreign help, which is a possibility.
