FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dear Supporter,
I hope you and your loved ones had a blessed Easter weekend filled with reflection, faith, and the warmth of family. These are the foundational pillars that have long bonded our nation and guided us through our best years.
However, even as we celebrate these civilizational strengths, the threat of national denigration remains very real. The Liberal government is once again attempting to import more shame and more lies into our national story, rewriting our past to suit their American-imported, grievance-based social-justice worldview.
Recent Access to Information records reported on by Blacklock's reveal that Immigration Minister Lena Diab’s department drafted a citizenship guide designed to make new Canadians feel "shame" for our history, and conflates a past filled with colonial-based "slavery."
This revisionist narrative ignores the proud truths of our heritage.
Upper Canada passed the first anti-slavery legislation in the British Empire in 1793—decades before the rest of the Empire followed suit in 1834, and well before Canada’s founding in 1867.
Our Parliament never legalized slavery, and none of our Founding Fathers were slave owners.
In fact, the deeply inconvenient political truth is that much of the slavery that took place in Canada was done by First Nations.
The National Citizens Coalition’s leading Canadians for Responsible Immigration campaign has been at the forefront of a reform fight—testifying before Parliamentary Committees and leading the national conversation. We do this because we don’t just have a numbers problem, we have a "post-national" problem.
Canadians, both old and new, do not want a bastardized version of our history that seeks to fill our children's heads with guilt and to further cheapen our citizenship and our national story. The only real "shame" we should feel is for the direction of the last ten years.
We cannot afford more of the same at the worst possible time.
We must reject the post-national experiment and defend the values that built this country.
To Immigration Minister Lena Diab and all those carrying on Trudeau's legacy of torn down statues, and revisionist history, we say a resounding "NO MORE."
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
Alexander Brown
Director, National Citizens Coalition
