True North Strong: A Day of Nationwide Solidarity

True North HQ announces a demonstration of solidarity for Monday, March 24, 2025, between 4pm and 8pm local time, outside every U.S. Consulate and U.S. Embassy on Canadian soil. We call upon the population of Canada to stand against the swelling shadow of fascism, and demonstrate peace, sovereignty, democracy and human rights.

Date :  Monday, March 24, 2025

Time : 4pm – 8pm local time

Locations:

  • US Consulate – 2 Pl. Terr. Dufferin, Quebec City
  • US Embassy – 490 Sussex Drive, Ottawa
  • US Consulate – 360 University Ave, Toronto
  • US Consulate – 615 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary
  • US Consulate – 1969 Upper Water Street, Halifax
  • US Consulate – 201 Portage Ave, Winnipeg
  • US Consulate – 1075 W Pender Street, Vancouver
  • US Consulate – 1134 Rue Sainte Catherine, Montreal

This powerful demonstration will serve as a rallying cry for freedom, inspired by the words of former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker:

“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think is right, free to oppose what I believe is wrong, and free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.”

Canada has long stood as a beacon of hope for democracy and freedom for those who are persecuted in their homelands, and we are called now to stand once again in unity in the name of equality, justice, and human rights. This demonstration emphasizes collective action against authoritarianism, and reaffirms the combined values of the Canadian people.

Attendees are welcomed and encouraged to come together under the banner of these shared values, demonstrating that Canada’s commitment to liberty remains unwavering.

Together, let us stand on guard for freedom and sovereignty.

  1. I love the “pledge”. It brings tears to my eyes. If only it applied to America as well. It could, it should, and most people including Donald Trump would say it does. But they don’t recognize what is happening right in front of their eyes.

      Thank you, we really appreciate your support

  2. I am sorry, on behalf of the USA, and understand why you’re doing this. Im just shocked to be here in a country where it should be us doing this sort of demonstration outside some other country’s embassy—we are the same people as your former PM describes—or we were such a people. Or we believed ourselves to be on this same noble path—the inventors of it, we thought. Too ,any are just hoping to wake up & the madness will have gone away… which isn’t the way it can. I pray there is a way back from this precipice for us & that we will once again be the good neighbor and ally that on e sent glass to Nova Scotia, and until this past Christmas gratefully received a generous gift of a christmas tree for display in Boston. My grandparents had a little cottage in Hunts Point where they summered away from the south New Jersey heat. My parents inherited it and used it as well. Then they sold it before my dad died, early in trump’s first presidency. Im so glad he, and now my mother, aren’t alive to see how far we have fallen…
    God bless Canada! God save the USA. And Ukraine.🇺🇦

    My wife and I will be participating here in Ottawa as we are very concerned about the slide of the USA into a dictatorship and fascism. We do not support even the mention of annexation of any country in the world, much less our own.

      Thank you so much for your support!

  4. I’m interested in attending the Ottawa event, but other than two telephone pole posters I have seen nothing about this anywhere. Are you getting any media coverage or social media engagement? I tweeted something and got two likes. I’d like to know if you’ve had any success in generating public enthusiasm.

      Hi Peter, we don’t use twitter, but we are having a great response across our other platforms (bluesky, facebook and discord) as well as Reddit. There was an article in the Daily Hive last week as well. We are working in Ottawa with the same team that gathers at the Russian Embassy every Wednesday and we expect to see a great turn out in Ottawa. Thank you for your support!

    I think our national unity is so important.
    May there be wisdom for all world leaders- especially to the south.
    I have no desire to be the 51st at anything.
    May all go well!

    1. Agreed! Thank you very much for your comment and support!

  6. Rumour is that this is the same group as the trucker tantrum
    . Is this true ?

    1. Sorry for any confusion! We aren’t associated with that group. We are pro-human rights and pro-democracy. We are a brand new grassroots organization comprised of volunteers across Canada. Please see our about page for more details.
