North Shuswap Lockdown
The communities of Lee Creek, Scotch Creek, Celista, Magna Bay and Anglemont have been devastated by the Adams Lake complex fire. Many residents that still have a home to protect have returned to find they have no potable running water, no power and no fuel of any kind. They returned to their property by boat as all of the roads have been blocked and are manned by local police or officers imported from Vancouver.
These same people have now been ordered to stay on their properties. RCMP and conservation officers are parked on drive ways and at gates preventing residents from leaving their properties. They are now unable to help each other and have virtually no access to food, water or fuel.
As one resident said: ” Police here are threatening to arrest people if we are caught off their property.” That is basically martial law in the place.
Admittance to the area is strictly controlled and only those carrying an official permit at a cost of $60 are permitted to enter the communities. Property owners must have a compelling reason to get permission to access their own property. One resident needed to get her medications and had to pay $60 for the privilege of doing so. What is the rationale of charging an owner for access to their own property? The ticket was available only on Monday just to get in and take the stuff out. Since Tuesday, ticket is not available anymore, what CSRD noted.
Concerned resident contacted CSRD to get more info and asked how are they coordinating feeding those who are sheltering in place? They are very strongly adamant about anyone staying there needs to stay in place or leave. CSRD representant said “we don’t have a plan to feed everyone….It is because it still deemed unsafe by the professionals.. power poles and trees down”. She respond to her “but the locals know their own streets and can see where the power poles and trees are down and know where to avoid.” But it’s not good enough.” CSRD representant finished.
Residents are busy extinguishing spot fires and trying to keep their properties damp, a task that is becoming increasingly difficult as water supplies dwindle and fuel for generators for water pumps runs low. Large quantities of gasoline and diesel fuels have been donated by local businesses and individuals. Much of it has made it over to the north shore by boat only to hit bottlenecks at distribution points as no one is able to leave their property to obtain it.
As food rots in thawing freezers and drinking water becomes scarce one has to question the rationale of restricting the movements of residents to this degree. Is looting the main concern or is there another more nefarious agenda in play?

Sounds like the gestopo is alive and well in the Shuswap. These people that have the authority but not the intelligence to administer should be jailed and given a psychiatric check. Farsworth tried the same thing in the Falkland area on the fire there some time ago! They are extremely lucky there is no one requiring medical aid in those shut down areas.
What about any pets and or farm animals, they need there owners and they require food and water as well!
To punish home owners in this fashion show that the belief “Guilty until proven innocent “ instead of the proper innocent until proven guilty is being practiced! How long can Canadians put up with this whips and chains kind of authority!

Omg. This can not be happening in Canada. Locals know the territory!! They should be able to help under any circumstance. This is totally insane. Rcmp should be ashamed. They could help local coordinate efforts. This is just a huge thing to try to prevent people from living rural. They are going to try and stop people living rurally , under the cant keep safe Incase…. ( incase is what ever they make up). This is land grab of some bad actors. My heart goes out to everyone that is trying to protect their land and family. Authorities need to wake up and look at what they are helping destroy. I can not believe they are doing it to their own people.

Re: “Omg. This can not be happening in Canada”
but it’s not Canada anymore.
Most call it “Chinada”.
It’s part of the NWO “one world govt ” grown out of the EU, UN, WHO, WEF, etc.
Under their communist control, there will be no ownership of private property.
People will be concentrated in their “15 minute ghettos/gulags”.
No cars and trucks.
Hence, all the arson (referred to as “wild fires” by CBC and other propaganda outlets) across the country. Remember Litton? Houses gone but trees standing, just like Shuswap waterfront.
Remember Paradise Valley in California? They just destroyed another town beside a lake 40 minutes easy of LA a couple months ago.
Now, the first “digital Island” hit a snag, because Lahaina was declared a heritage site, and historical buildings couldn’t be legally torn down.
They had the financing and construction crews lined up to build the high-rise 15-minute-gulags there last January when they hit the heritage zoning, messing up their plans.
But they got around that.
Murdered a couple thousand people in the process, including 1526 kids who were home (they closed the schools, turned off communications, turned off water so sprinklers wouldn’t work and fire fighters could put out and fires) and presumably incinerated alive.
But they don’t care.
And now the RCMP is complicit.
It’s not Canada.
Canadian laws are being disregarded and broken by govt.
You are in a war, and the enemy is funded by your tax $.
The federal govt doesn’t care about you.
They only care about reducing carbon.
You are the carbon that they want to reduce/eliminate.
Ponder that, and plan accordingly.
Good luck!
