I am updating you today with a deep sense of gratitude and immense pride in what we are accomplishing together. Last week, we gathered in Toronto for ‘Pints & Principles’ hosted in collaboration with our friends at Project Ontario. I want to say a massive thank you to the over 100 supporters who sold-out The Pilot’s rooftop and made the night a success.

A special thank you to MPs Jamil Jivani and Matt Strauss for joining us, along with Anthony Furey.

This fantastic turnout builds directly on the momentum of a highly successful year of national engagement. In months prior, I had the privilege of taking the stage at the Canada Strong and Free Network conferences in both Vancouver and Ottawa, connecting with thousands of fellow patriots and supporters.

Seeing so many passionate Canadians come together to talk about the future of our country at these national gatherings is incredibly inspiring. The energy in those rooms mirrors the momentum we are building right now.

This recent event capped off an immense stretch of advocacy work for the National Citizens Coalition. My travels also took me to London, U.K., to represent our movement at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference. To be able to grow, build, and champion Canadian conservative values on both the national and global stage is a profound honour—and it is only possible because of your steadfast commitment.

While in Toronto, I also sat down for a candid conversation with the great Stephen LeDrew, the former President of the Liberal Party of Canada. We spoke at length about the critical importance of this political moment for conservatives and Canadian renewal, and I look forward to sharing that episode when it debuts shortly.

We are working tirelessly to Fix Canada, and the consensus is growing that the current path is unsustainable. So, what does our work look like in July and August? Many in politics treat these months as a time to coast, but the National Citizens Coalition does not believe in a "summer slowdown." The fight for better, more accountable government never takes a vacation.

Throughout July and August, we are ramping up our efforts. You will see more media appearances, more hard-hitting Op-eds, more interviews from yours truly, more outreach, and strong grassroots advocacy campaigns. We are working to reach millions of Canadians to expand the social license for change, and for principled conservatism. Our goal is to continue to shift the cultural needle and pave the way for the common-sense this country desperately needs to see more of.

We cannot afford to fall behind. Liberal incrementalism simply won't cut it anymore; tinkering around the edges will not fix the deep structural issues facing our nation. We need to step up and meet this moment with boldness and clarity.

To keep this momentum going through the summer months, we need your financial backing. Taxpayer advocacy requires resources to cut through the noise and challenge the status quo. If you are able, please give generously today to fuel our summer campaigns.

Thank you for your continued support, and for your dedication to a freer, more prosperous Canada.

Sincerely,

Alexander Brown
Director, National Citizens Coalition
