Canadians are supercharged.
Voter turnout for the federal election was the highest in 30 years. The “Buy Canada” movement is gaining momentum, and the great summer staycation of 2025 is under way. Today, surveys are showing that 90 per cent of Canadians agree our country has a cultural identity worth defending.
With Canadian patriotism alive and kicking, it’s the ideal moment for Canada’s new government to redefine the meaning of national service. That’s why Ottawa should convert our new-found patriotic energy into a national civil defence movement – one that’s able, organized and trained to respond to emergencies.
