About The Pledge for Canada
The Pledge for Canada was launched in January 2025 as a nonpartisan volunteer effort, born from a response to the Trump administration's economic aggression. It sought to give people an opportunity to express commitment to Canada, setting out core principles to guide leaders in protecting Canadians and building a more resilient, less dependent nation. Over 75,000 people signed the Pledge, including a former Prime Minister and three former Premiers from four different political parties, joining an ongoing exchange of information and ideas.
As of May 15, 2025, the Pledge is now closed for further signatures. We are focusing entirely on this essay platform to continue promoting a conversation on the Canada we want and how to get there.
Planned three times per week, we post pieces to explore how to make real the Pledge principles and, we hope, to provoke needed conversations and debates.
