NATO will stand with or without the US. Canada will and must lead. We have punched above our weight in every war started by others, and now is no different. We help keep the peace, and we do it well, without bloviating, bragging, or playing toy soldiers. We donāt want war, just as we donāt want winter, but when winter or war comes to us or our allies, we do what must be done. Quietly, bravely, effectively, not looking for bragging rights. Just looking for peace, order, and good government, so we and our allies can get on with the timeless human pursuit of community, friendship, and thriving.

āIn 1939, the odds against the democratic world were massive.
Canada was a poor nation with a small population. But from the get-go, Canadians stepped up and did our part. And in the darkest days of the Second World War, Winston Churchill praised Canada as the linchpin of the democratic resistance.
80 plus years later, democracy is again facing serious threat, and Canada is being tested. A year ago, there were many who thought we would bend or buckle, but we have stood our ground.
Canadians are playing a key role with democratic allies. We are fighting for a just peace in Ukraine. And we are standing up to the fascist threat posed by gangsters who reject democracy and use violence to impose their will.
2026 will be hard and chaotic, but Canadians know what is at stake. We can be counted on once again.ā
