Carney emphasized the importance of protecting “our system, our rights, and our system of respecting all the people who live here.”
Speaking at the unveiling of Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy, Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed the push by some in the Trump Administration for ‘Christian nationalism,’ and made it clear that Canada is not heading in that direction.
Carney explained that Canadian nationalism is ‘Civic nationalism,’ that is respectful of people of all faiths, those with no faith, and respectful of the rights and diversity of Canadians. You can watch Carney’s remarks below:
“PM Carney on Marco Rubio’s Munich speech (French): “Mr. Rubio has spoken, and the American administration from time to time talks about, Christian nationalism … It is not Canadian nationalism. Canadian nationalism is civic nationalism.”

If this piece left you clearer than it found you, that's the point. I write for readers who want to think past the week, to see the longer pattern beneath the daily story, and to come away steadier rather than more agitated.
That longer view gets built somewhere. On Patreon, essay by essay, I'm constructing The Long Work, a body of analysis meant to outlast the news cycle that prompted it. The readers there make it possible. No subsidies, no strings. The work answers to them.
$8/month to read it as it's built, and to have a hand in building it.
