STATEMENT
By Loreena McKennitt, CM, OM, CD, LL.D. and D.Litt (Wise Communities Founder)
McKennitt is an international, multi-platinum recording artist, a member of The Order of Canada and a former Honorary Colonel of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

There are moments in history when a generation is called upon to define and defend itself, now and for the future. For Canadians, this moment has come in the form of the punishing tariffs the President of the United States is threatening us with - we who are his closest ally and largest trading partner. We should be under no illusions. These moves are meant to cripple our economy and put millions of Canadians out of work. He wants to bring us to heel.
Loreena’s opinion piece was also published in Le Devoir, a Montreal-based French-language newspaper distributed in Quebec and throughout Canada. Lire le texte d'opinion

Citizens' Rally for Canada
March 1, 2025

Use the link below for a full summary of the event including speakers' remarks.

MAKE THE PLEDGE
An invitation to Canadians to reflect on the current challenges Canada faces and what we can all do to respond to the risks and to contribute to building a more resilient Canada. You're invited to sign on to the Pledge for Canada if you agree that the principles set out represent a useful starting point for encouraging the solidarity we need and for urging our leaders to work together to develop a whole of Canada approach.
