In a time of increasing political division and uncertainty, Charlie Angus, MP for Timmins—James Bay, has launched an initiative aimed at uniting Canadians around shared values and a commitment to defending the nation’s sovereignty. The "Pledge for Canada" is a call to action for citizens across the country to stand together in protecting democracy, social justice, and the integrity of Canada’s governance.
What is the "Pledge for Canada"?
The pledge is a set of principles designed to promote unity across political, regional, and cultural divides. It emphasizes cooperation among federal, provincial, territorial, Indigenous, and municipal leaders to ensure that no single region or group seeks advantage at the expense of others.
The key commitments of the pledge include:
Defending Canada's Sovereignty – Working together to protect national interests and uphold democratic institutions.
Promoting Fairness – Ensuring that government policies benefit all Canadians, rather than favoring select regions or sectors.
Respecting Indigenous Rights & Official Languages – Recognizing and upholding commitments to reconciliation and bilingualism.
Protecting Workers, Families, and Businesses – Avoiding policies that create economic hardship for everyday Canadians.
Building Resilience for the Future – Strengthening Canada's ability to navigate global uncertainty and political challenges.
This pledge is more than just words—it’s a movement aimed at fostering collaboration in a country that has seen rising polarization.
Why This Matters
Canada faces many challenges, from economic shifts and climate crises to political division and international pressures. The "Pledge for Canada" aims to strengthen national unity and prevent policies that could undermine the collective well-being of its citizens.
Charlie Angus has been vocal about the need for leaders to put people before politics and focus on long-term solutions rather than short-term political gains. By taking this pledge, individuals and organizations signal their commitment to a fair, just, and united Canada.
