Freedom Rising Message

Dear Freedom leaders

In his presentation at the ‘Courage to Listen’ event hosted by the Calgary-Lougheed UCP, Bruce Pardy shared his honest assessment of the state of Canada today. Pardy stated:  “Inside your heart there is a Canada that you know and love – true north, strong and free; a country governed by the rule of law. This is the country to which you have been loyal. The past five years have revealed an ugly truth. This Canada that you thought you lived in does not actually exist. There are two Canadas. The one we love is imaginary. The other one is all too real. Canada is a cartel held together by bribes. Everywhere you look, someone is on the take. The real Canada is a corrupt country. (Canadians) abandoned freedom for the appearance of safety. Canada is a managerial society, pathologically self-destructive. This is baked into the Constitution. The real Canada cannot fundamentally reform.”

These are strong words, but I can’t disagree with Pardy. I think we are all grieving the loss of the Canada that is inside our hearts. The real Canada has become a system of enslavement and government overreach where virtually every government decision is imposed with little regard for individual rights, bodily sovereignty, or the right and responsibility of parents to make decisions for their children. Vaccine mandates, masking, business closures, fluoridation of water, the sexualization of our children, life changing surgeries, and more are all imposed with little regard for our rights and freedoms. It’s ironic how Alberta is required to consult with first Nations and the Federal and Provincial governments to exercise its sovereignty, yet governments had no requirement to consult when it came to their response to COVID.

I’ve stated often that I now view Canada as a failed state. Once a beacon of peace and freedom in the world, Canada is a modern day example of how a civilization can self-destruct. Pardy added to his message at the Courage to Listen event. He summarized by stating: “Alberta just might be able to save Canada. You do that by leaving it. The American Declaration of Independence says that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of liberty, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, or to leave. Alberta, it is time for you to go.”

Courage to Listen

On June 25, 2025, Calgary-Lougheed UCP hosted an event entitled – The Courage to Listen. The event was an opportunity to discuss how to build a sovereign Alberta. This event gathered a broad group of Albertans—academics, economists, civil servants, and citizens—to debate the path forward. 

Their focus: Is it possible to build a sovereign Alberta that reflects the values of fairness, democracy, and collective well-being within, or outside, a reimagined Canada? 

Speakers included: Ben Trudeau, Jeff Rath, Matthew Ehret, Kris Sims, Bruce Pardy, Dr. Michael Wagner, PhD, Peter McCaffrey, and Mitch Sylvestre. A recording is available here: https://thecouragetolisten.ca

Keep Cash Legal and Accessible

Stop Bill C-2

By the Justice Centre (JCCF) - Cash is under attack in Canada.

Bill C-2, the Strong Border Act, criminalizes cash payments of $10,000 or more. Quebec's Bill 54 now empowers police officers to assume that people carrying more than $2,000 are connected to illegal activities and to seize the cash.

When cash is criminalized, governments, banks, and law enforcement can track and interfere with legitimate purchases and donations. 

Help protect cash today:

• Tell your MP to say NO to Bill C-2
• Sign and share the JCCF petition

Friday Meeting Recordings

As a standard of practice, the Friday Freedom leaders meetings are not recorded. This decision is based on the intention to have freedom leaders attend a meeting at the same time with the goal to deepen the relationships between leaders. Secondly, the desire is for frank conversations. The hope is that the lack of recording contributes to richer conversations. 

That said, there are some presentations that are so rich and informative that a decision is made to enable our freedom leaders the opportunity to review a presentation and utilize the information more fully. We ask you not to share these recordings without the permission of the presenter.
